Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Symptoms of Parkinson's disease include muscle tremors, posture and equilibrium alterations, and slow body movement or bradykinesia. Muscle flaccidity is not a symptom of Parkinson's disease. Symptoms of Parkinson's disease do not include alterations in heart rate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that inhibits the metabolism of rasagiline, significantly raising rasagiline serum levels and potentially causing significant hypertension. Dextromethorphan, levodopa, and Valium are not related to significant hypertensive changes when used in conjunction with rasagiline.
