1,2,3

Rationale 2: Intranasal corticosteroids are preventers of allergies.
Rationale 3: Mast cell stabilizers are preventers of allergies.
Rationale 4: Oral decongestants are relievers of allergic symptoms.
Rationale 5: Nasal decongestants are relievers of allergic symptoms.

Global Rationale: Antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, and mast cell stabilizers are preventers of allergies. Oral and nasal antihistamines are relievers of allergic symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2

Rationale 1: Elderly clients have reduced enzyme activity; thus, first-pass effect is reduced in this population.
Rationale 2: Liver enzymes are the major metabolic pathway for deactivation of most drugs, and clients with liver disease have decreased amounts of liver enzymes. First-pass effect will be diminished in these clients.
Rationale 3: The gallbladder is not involved in first-pass effect.
Rationale 4: The kidneys are not involved in first-pass effect.
Rationale 5: Medications given parenterally are not affected by the first-pass effect.
