Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Pyridostigmine has been approved for use by military personnel who have been exposed to particular nerve gases. Neostigmine, ambenonium, and edrophonium are not approved for this use.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure is usually 40 points greater than the diastolic pressure. A pulse pressure of over 50 points or less than 30 points is considered abnormal. This patient's pulse pressure is 42 (120 minus 78).

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
