Answer to Question 1

1,2
Rationale 1: Atropine should be used with caution in those who use aloe.
Rationale 2: There is a drugdrug interaction between atropine and procainamide.
Rationale 3: Headache does not prevent use of atropine.
Rationale 4: Allergy to penicillin does not prevent use of atropine.
Rationale 5: Gallbladder surgery for next week would not prevent use of atropine.

Global Rationale: Atropine should be used with caution in those who use aloe. There is a drugdrug interaction between atropine and procainamide. Headache, allergy to penicillin, and gallbladder surgery scheduled for next week do not prevent use of atropine.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Loop diuretics inhibit sodium in the loop of Henle and increase urine output.
Rationale 2: Thiazide diuretics block sodium in the distal tubule and nephron.
Rationale 3: Potassium-sparing diuretics block aldosterone.
Rationale 4: Some miscellaneous diuretics have this mechanism.
Global Rationale: Loop diuretics inhibit sodium in the loop of Henle and increase urine output. Thiazide diuretics block sodium in the distal tubule and nephron. Potassium-sparing diuretics block aldosterone. Some miscellaneous diuretics add sodium to the filtrate.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
