Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Autonomic symptoms of pallor, sweating, and tachycardia cause additional discomfort associated with vomiting. Bradycardia, diarrhea, flushing, urinary urgency, chills, dizziness, fever, and hyperventilation are not autonomic symptoms associated with vomiting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Metoclopramide is the drug of choice when treating hyperemesis gravidarum because no teratogenic effects have been reported with the use of this drug. THC is used in the treatment of nausea and vomiting associated with cancer and cancer treatment. Haloperidol is used in the treatment of nausea associated with chemotherapy. Prednisone is used in the treatment of nausea associated with pregnancy, postsurgical state, chemotherapy, radiation, and bowel obstruction.
