Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Prescribers order octreotide for patients with acromegaly to reduce levels of GH. Gonadorelin hydrochloride, nafarelin, and gonadorelin acetate are not administered to treat acromegaly.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Phentermine inhibits the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine. It is an anorexiant, causing appetite suppression, which is thought to result from direct stimulation of the satiety center in the hypothalamic and limbic region. It does not increase calorie metabolism or fat deposition.
