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.
