Answer to Question 1

1,2,4
Rationale 1: Extensive is one of the classifications used to describe this change in drug metabolism.
Rationale 2: Poor is one of the classifications used to describe this change in drug metabolism
Rationale 3: Since this patient has a change, the metabolism would not be classified as normal.
Rationale 4: Ultrarapid is one of the classifications used to describe this change in drug metabolism.
Rationale 5: Inefficient is not used to describe this change.
Global Rationale: Extensive, poor, and ultrarapid are all classifications used to describe this change in drug metabolism. Since this patient has a change, the metabolism would not be classified as normal. Inefficient is not used to describe this change.
