Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Ephedrine (generic), a drug used as a bronchodilator to treat asthma and relieve nasal congestion, can break down stored glycogen and cause an elevation of blood glucose by its effects on the sympathetic nervous system. Ephedrine does not cause bronchoconstriction, cardiac arrhythmias, or severe constipation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Absence seizures involve abrupt periods of loss of consciousness lasting 3 to 5 seconds. Tonic-clonic seizures involve dramatic muscle contractions, loss of consciousness, and a recovery period characterized by confusion and exhaustion. Myoclonic seizures involve short, sporadic periods of muscle contractions lasting for several minutes. These types of seizures are rare. Status epilepticus seizures are the most dangerous and rapidly occur one after another.
