Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

Rationale 1: Drugs increasing the outflow of aqueous humor include miotics, sympathomimetics, prostaglandins, and prostamides.
Rationale 2: Drugs increasing the outflow of aqueous humor include miotics, sympathomimetics, prostaglandins, and prostamides.
Rationale 3: Drugs increasing the outflow of aqueous humor include miotics, sympathomimetics, prostaglandins, and prostamides.
Rationale 4: Beta blockers is incorrect because they decrease the formation of aqueous humor.
Rationale 5: Drugs increasing the outflow of aqueous humor include miotics, sympathomimetics, prostaglandins, and prostamides.

Global Rationale: Drugs increasing the outflow of aqueous humor include miotics, sympathomimetics, prostaglandins, and prostamides. Beta blockers is incorrect because they decrease the formation of aqueous humor.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

Rationale 1: Beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha2-adrenergic agents, carbonic-anhydride inhibitors, and osmotic diuretics are drug classes that decrease the formation of aqueous humor.
Rationale 2: Beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha2-adrenergic agents, carbonic-anhydride inhibitors, and osmotic diuretics are drug classes that decrease the formation of aqueous humor.
Rationale 3: Beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha2-adrenergic agents, carbonic-anhydride inhibitors, and osmotic diuretics are drug classes that decrease the formation of aqueous humor.
Rationale 4: Prostaglandins is incorrect because these increase the outflow of aqueous humor.
Rationale 5: Beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha2-adrenergic agents, carbonic-anhydride inhibitors, and osmotic diuretics are drug classes that decrease the formation of aqueous humor.

Global Rationale: Beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha2-adrenergic agents, carbonic-anhydride inhibitors, and osmotic diuretics are drug classes that decrease the formation of aqueous humor. Prostaglandins is incorrect because these increase the outflow of aqueous humor.
