Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale 1:PPIs include the prazole as the ending. An example is omeprazole (Prilosec).
Rationale 2:Ranitidine (Zantac) is not an antibiotic
Rationale 3:Ranitidine (Zantac) is an H2-receptor antagonist.
Rationale 4:Ranitidine (Zantac) is not an antacid.

Global Rationale: Ranitidine (Zantac), cimetidine (Tagamet), famotidine (Pepcid), and nizatidine (Axid) are H2-receptor antagonists or blockers.

Answer to Question 2

1, 5

Rationale 1: Omeprazole (Prilosec) is a PPI, which reduces acid secretion by binding irreversibly to the enzyme H+, K+-ATPase.
Rationale 2: Magnesium hydroxide (Milk of Magnesium) is an antacid, which neutralizes acid.
Rationale 3: Famotidine (Pepcid) is an H2-receptor blocker, which reduces acid secretion.
Rationale 4:Ranitidine (Zantac) is an H2-receptor blocker, which reduces acid secretion.
Rationale 5:Pantoprazole (Protonix) is a PPI, which reduces acid secretion by binding irreversibly to the enzyme H+, K+-ATPase

Global Rationale: PPIs reduce acid secretion by binding irreversibly to the enzyme H+, K+-ATPase. Omeprazole (Prilosec) and pantoprazole (Protonix) are two PPIs.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

As the western states of America were settled, pioneers often had to drink rancid water from ponds and other sources. This often resulted in chronic diarrhea, causing many cases of dehydration and death that could have been avoided if clean water had been available.
