Answer to Question 1

2
Ichthyosis is dry, scaly skin. Poor turgor is the term used if the skin shows evidence of poor hydration. Edematous is the term used if there is an abnormal accumulation of fluid under the skin. Anasarca is a term used for generalized edema.

Answer to Question 2

4
Grapefruit juice can block P-glycoprotein, and it inactivates cytochrome P450 3A for up to 24 hours. Other foods that can also block these enzymes include red wine, cyclosporine, St. John's wort, and herbal teas. Apple, prune, and grape juice do not block these enzymes.
