Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Epinephrine is mainly used in children for treatment of bronchospasm due to asthma or allergic reactions. Parenteral epinephrine may cause syncope when given to asthmatic children. Epinephrine will not increase edema or cause bradycardia or hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive, degenerative disorder of the central nervous system characterized by resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. The patient is not experiencing degenerative joint disease. The patient is not showing signs of symptoms of a seizure disorder. The patient has rigidity with tremors, not the signs of muscle weakness that are found in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
