Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: x = 10/5; solving for x, the therapeutic index would be 2. This means it would only take an error in magnitude of approximately 2 times the average dose to be lethal.
Global Rationale: x = 10/5; solving for x, the therapeutic index would be 2. This means it would only take an error in magnitude of approximately 2 times the average dose to be lethal.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Ethyl alcohol is an example of an agent that acts by nonspecific mechanisms, independently of cellular receptors.
Rationale 2: General anesthetics are an example of agents that act by nonspecific mechanisms, independently of cellular receptors.
Rationale 3: Osmotic diuretics are an example of agents that act by nonspecific mechanisms, independently of cellular receptors.
Rationale 4: Calcium channel blockers have a specific mechanism of action.
Rationale 5: Alpha-adrenergic antihypertensives have a specific mechanism of action.
Global Rationale: Ethyl alcohol is an example of an agent that acts by nonspecific mechanisms, independently of cellular receptors. General anesthetics are an example of agents that act by nonspecific mechanisms, independently of cellular receptors. Osmotic diuretics are an example of agents that act by nonspecific mechanisms, independently of cellular receptors. Calcium channel blockers have a specific mechanism of action.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
