a) intramuscularly
b) intravenously
c) topically
d) subcutaneously

question 18 (2.5 points)
side effects of beta blockers do not typically include ______.
a) hypotension
b) tachycardia
c) bradycardia

Explanation:

First Question (about insulin preparations administration methods):

Insulin preparations are administered intramuscularly, intravenously, or subcutaneously. Topical administration is not a method for insulin as it's not absorbed effectively through the skin for systemic action. So the answer is the option with "topically".

Beta blockers work to decrease heart rate (bradycardia can occur), and can cause hypotension. Tachycardia (increased heart rate) is not a typical side effect of beta blockers as they block beta - adrenergic receptors which would otherwise increase heart rate. So the side effect not typical is tachycardia.

Answer:

c) topically
