Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Anticholinergic drugs do not cause pupil restriction; they relax the muscles around the eye, leading to dilation.

Choice B rationale

Decreased lacrimal secretions are a secondary effect of anticholinergics and not their primary purpose in ophthalmology.

Choice C rationale

Anticholinergics cause pupil dilation (mydriasis) by relaxing the muscles that constrict the pupil, allowing for a better examination of the eye's interior.

Choice D rationale

Sedation is not a primary effect of anticholinergics used in ophthalmology.

A. COPD. B. Bronchiectasis. C. Emphysema. D. Consumption.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive disease characterized by obstructed airflow from the lungs. While related to respiratory health, it is distinct from tuberculosis.

Choice B rationale

Bronchiectasis is a condition involving the permanent enlargement of parts of the airways of the lung, often caused by infection or other lung conditions but is different from tuberculosis.

Choice C rationale

Emphysema is a chronic lung condition where the alveoli (air sacs) are damaged, leading to breathing difficulties. This condition is usually associated with smoking and is distinct from tuberculosis.

Choice D rationale

Consumption is an old term for tuberculosis, reflecting the wasting away (consuming) nature of the disease due to the progressive weight loss and weakness it causes.
