Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Dantrolene is the only skeletal muscle relaxant that acts peripherally on the muscle itself; it inhibits the release of calcium in skeletal muscle cells, thereby decreasing the strength of muscle contraction. The other listed drugs act centrally.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Consistent adherence to treatment is imperative to ensure successful treatment of TB. Nonadherence leads to resistance and unsuccessful treatment, not increased adverse effects. Antivirals are ineffective against TB.
