Answer to Question 1

1,2
Rationale 1: Atropine should be used with caution in those who use aloe.
Rationale 2: There is a drugdrug interaction between atropine and procainamide.
Rationale 3: Headache does not prevent use of atropine.
Rationale 4: Allergy to penicillin does not prevent use of atropine.
Rationale 5: Gallbladder surgery for next week would not prevent use of atropine.

Global Rationale: Atropine should be used with caution in those who use aloe. There is a drugdrug interaction between atropine and procainamide. Headache, allergy to penicillin, and gallbladder surgery scheduled for next week do not prevent use of atropine.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Loop diuretics inhibit sodium in the loop of Henle and increase urine output.
Rationale 2: Thiazide diuretics block sodium in the distal tubule and nephron.
Rationale 3: Potassium-sparing diuretics block aldosterone.
Rationale 4: Some miscellaneous diuretics have this mechanism.
Global Rationale: Loop diuretics inhibit sodium in the loop of Henle and increase urine output. Thiazide diuretics block sodium in the distal tubule and nephron. Potassium-sparing diuretics block aldosterone. Some miscellaneous diuretics add sodium to the filtrate.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

ACTH levels are normally highest in the early morning (between 6 and 8 A.M.) and lowest in the evening (between 6 and 11 P.M.). Therefore, a doctor who suspects abnormal levels looks for low ACTH in the morning and high ACTH in the evening.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
