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.
