Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
In adults, deficient growth hormone can cause increased fat, reduced skeletal and heart muscle mass, reduced strength, reduced ability to exercise, and worsened cholesterol levels (increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol). Adrenocorticotropic hormone, oxytocin, and somatostatin do not affect low-density lipoprotein.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Morphine is used for the treatment of acute pulmonary edema. Meclizine (Antivert) is given for dizziness. Ampicillin is used to treat infection. Naloxone (Narcan) is the opioid antidote.
