Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Bile acid-binding resins may be used to treat pruritus as a result of partial biliary stasis. Excess fecal bile acids produce diarrhea. Pseudomembranous colitis produces diarrhea. Bile acid-binding resins are not used to treat jaundice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
LDLs account for 60 to 70 of total serum cholesterol and are a major contributor to atherosclerosis. The therapeutic outcome of antilipemic therapy is to lower the LDL and total cholesterol levels and raise the HDL and HDL/LDL ratio. HDLs are not reduced in treating hyperlipidemia.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
