Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Clonazepam does not interact with filgrastim.
Rationale 2: Valproic acid does not interact with filgrastim.
Rationale 3: Carbamazepine does not interact with filgrastim.
Rationale 4: Lithium has a synergistic effect when administered concomitantly with filgrastim.
Global Rationale: Lithium has a synergistic effect when administered concomitantly with filgrastim. Clonazepam, valporic acid, and carbamazepine do not interact with filgrastim.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: A platelet count of 25,000 is low, and the order is appropriate.
Rationale 2: Myelogenous leukemia is a contraindication for oprelvekin therapy.
Rationale 3: Liver disease calls for caution during the administration of oprelvekin, but it is not a contraindication. The order is appropriate.
Rationale 4: A hemoglobin of 9.6 gm/dL is too low and is not a contraindication for oprelvekin. The order is appropriate.
Global Rationale: Myelogenous leukemia is a contraindication for oprelvekin therapy. A platelet count of 25,000 is low, and the order is appropriate. Liver disease calls for caution during the administration of oprelvekin, but it is not a contraindication. The order is appropriate. A hemoglobin of 9.6 gm/dL is too low and is not a contraindication for oprelvekin. The order is appropriate.
