Answer to Question 1

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Antihistamines are preventers of allergies.
Rationale 2: Intranasal corticosteroids are preventers of allergies.
Rationale 3: Mast cell stabilizers are preventers of allergies.
Rationale 4: Oral decongestants are relievers of allergic symptoms.
Rationale 5: Nasal decongestants are relievers of allergic symptoms.

Global Rationale: Antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, and mast cell stabilizers are preventers of allergies. Oral and nasal antihistamines are relievers of allergic symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2

Rationale 1: Elderly clients have reduced enzyme activity; thus, first-pass effect is reduced in this population.
Rationale 2: Liver enzymes are the major metabolic pathway for deactivation of most drugs, and clients with liver disease have decreased amounts of liver enzymes. First-pass effect will be diminished in these clients.
Rationale 3: The gallbladder is not involved in first-pass effect.
Rationale 4: The kidneys are not involved in first-pass effect.
Rationale 5: Medications given parenterally are not affected by the first-pass effect.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
