Solution
1.Your patient is an 8.0 y.o. WF, who has just learned from her classmates that Santa Claus [and the Easter Bunny] may have a mythological origin. The activity of which of the following neurohormones are the most likely to become increased in her CNS following this potentially traumatic information?
ANS :B.ADRENALINE
I THINK ADRENALIN WILL INCREASE IN HER CNS FOLLOWING THIS POTENTIALLY TRAUMATIC INFORMATION.
ADRENALIN LEVEL WILL INCREASE WHICH CAN LEAD TO INCREASED SYMPATHETIC ACTIVITY THEREBY INCREASING THE BLOOD PRESSURE,HEART RATE,INCREASED BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL ,SMOOTH MUSCLE RELAXATION WHICH HELP TO BREATH MORE OXYGEN IN TO LUNGS..
CORTISOL LEVEL WILL DECREASE.
2. The effect of an intravenous infusion of 10 mg of Botox [botulinus toxin] would most likely result in
ANS : D.NONE OF THE ABOVE AS THE DOSE MAKES POISON AND THE AMOUNT INDICATED IS MOSTLY SUBCLINICAL.
USUALLY BOTOX IS EXPRESSED IN UNITS LIKE 20 UNITS,50 UNITS ,100 UNITS etc AND NOT IN mg .IT CAN BE EXPRESSED IN NANOGRAMS ALSO.5 NANOGRAM IS 100 UNITS AND 150 NANOGRAMS CAN BE LETHAL.
