2
Rationale 1: ALS is not the most common disease.
Rationale 2: Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases are the most common degenerative diseases of the central nervous system.
Rationale 3: MS is not the most common disease.
Rationale 4: Huntington's chorea is not the most common disease.
Global Rationale: Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases are the most common degenerative diseases of the central nervous system.

Answer to Question 2

2,3,4
Rationale 1: There is no specific reason to monitor the clients' electrolytes.
Rationale 2: Ibuprofen may result in a decrease in hemoglobin and hematocrit. Baseline levels should be documented.
Rationale 3: Ibuprofen may increase bleeding times. Baseline values should be documented.
Rationale 4: AST and ALT may be increased so it is important to document baseline levels.
Rationale 5: It is not necessary to draw baseline serum amylase levels.
Global Rationale: Ibuprofen may result in a decrease in hemoglobin and hematocrit. Baseline levels should be documented. Ibuprofen may increase bleeding times. Baseline values should be documented. AST and ALT may be increased so it is important to document baseline levels. There is no specific reason to monitor the clients' electrolytes.
