Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The antidote for a cholinergic reaction is atropine. This drug will block the cholinergic sites. Edrophonium would cause an accumulation of acetylcholine and worsen the situation. Propranolol blocks beta-receptors in the sympathetic system. Succinylcholine is a neuromuscular junction drug and would not affect other sites.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Primaquine (generic) is the only drug indicated for the prevention of relapses of P. vivax and P. malariae infections and a radical cure of P. vivax malaria. It may be given in combination with other drugs that interrupt the cell cycle at other stages. None of the other options are indicated for this use.
