Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Negative or unexpected effects are known as adverse or side effects. Teratogenic effects are adverse effects on the fetus and not a likely concern for an older adult. Toxic effects occur when medication is taken in larger than recommended dosages caused by an increase in serum drug levels. Therapeutic effects are the desired actions for which the medication is prescribed.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A current hypothesis regarding the cause of depression is a deficiency of norepinephrine, dopamine, or serotonin, which are all biogenic amines, in key areas of the brain. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that communicates between nerves and muscles. Epinephrine is a catecholamine that serves as a neurotransmitter that is released in the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system and can be hormones when released from cells in the adrenal medulla. Gamma-aminobutyric acid is a neurotransmitter that inhibits nerve activity and prevents over excitability or stimulation.
