Clue #1

EB has a history of motion sickness and is planning to use scopolamine patches on an upcoming cruise with her family. She wants to make sure it is okay for her to use this medication, as she also takes lisinopril for hypertension, bupropion for depression, and has a sulfa allergy. Using the Micromedex interaction checker, look up interactions between these drugs and allergies. What interaction exists?

  1. Scopolamine and sulfa allergy
  2. Bupropion and lisinopril
  3. Lisinopril and scopolamine
  4. Bupropion and scopolamine

Success! After cracking the code for the levers, you made it across the gap in the tunnel floor. You walk a bit further, and can see in the distance a set of stairs with a glimmer of light at the top. Excited that you are close to getting back aboveground, you start to run. SNAP! Suddenly you find yourself yanked in the air, trapped in a large net that had been hidden in the floor. Unfortunately you don't have any tools within reach that can help you cut through the net, but as you look towards the ceiling you notice what appears to be a release mechanism for the net. Solve the clues below to free yourself, using the below resources:
