Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: There is no contraindication to the use of heparin and acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Rationale 2: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) inhibits warfarin (Coumadin) metabolism. Concomitant use of these two medications could result in a toxic accumulation of warfarin (Coumadin).
Rationale 3: There is no contraindication to the use of penicillin G benzathine (Bicillin LA) and acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Rationale 4: There is no contraindication to the use of paroxetine (Paxil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Global Rationale: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) inhibits warfarin (Coumadin) metabolism. Concomitant use of these two medications could result in a toxic accumulation of warfarin (Coumadin). There is no contraindication to the use of heparin, penicillin G benzathine (Bicillin LA), or paroxetine (Paxil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Slow speech is a manifestation of bradykinesia.
Rationale 2: Difficulty chewing is a manifestation of bradykinesia.
Rationale 3: Shuffling the feet when walking is a manifestation of bradykinesia.
Rationale 4: Stooped posture is not a manifestation of bradykinesia.
Rationale 5: Lack of facial expression is not a manifestation of bradykinesia.
Global Rationale: Slow speech, difficulty chewing, and a shuffling gait are manifestations of bradykinesia. Stooped posture and lack of facial expression are not manifestations of bradykinesia.
