Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Naltrexone (ReVia) is a pure opioid antagonist that blocks opioids from occupying receptor sites, thereby preventing their physiologic effects. It will not cause neurological deficits, GI upset, or hallucinations.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Exposure to cold air can exacerbate asthma symptoms due to the bronchoconstriction of airways. Fatigue is not a direct trigger of asthma. The consumption of high quantities of sodium will not trigger asthma. The exposure to direct sunlight will not trigger asthma.
