75) ANSWER
B) "Cromolyn
limits inflammation, and therefore bronchoconstriction, with exposure to an
allergen."
RATIONALE
Cromolyn is a nonsteroidal agent that stabilizes
mast cells so bronchoconstrictive and inflammatory substances are not released
when stimulated with an allergen. It is used to treat inflammation of the
airway. It does not cause bronchoconstriction (option 4), and is not a
bronchodilator (option 1) or expectorant (option 3). Use medication knowledge
and the process of elimination to make a selection.
