Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The sedative-hypnotic effect of benzodiazepines facilitates surgical sedation. Short-acting benzodiazepines are administered intramuscularly for preoperative sedation. They are also given intravenously for conscious sedation before short diagnostic procedures or for the induction of general anesthesia. Benzodiazepines are not recommended for long-term use and do not affect amnesia. Benzodiazepines are a poor choice for the treatment of chronic insomnia because of their risk for habituation. Benzodiazepines do not have an antipsychotic effect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E
Anticholinergic drugs are used to treat bradycardia and Parkinson's disease and are used as drying agents in preparation for surgery and anesthetic administration. Anticholinergic drugs are not used to treat glaucoma, are contraindicated in cases of prostatic hypertrophy, and block vagal stimulation.
