    Chapter 2. Review of Basic Principles of Pharmacology
    Multiple Choice
    Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
31. A patient’s nutritional intake and laboratory results reflect hypoalbuminemia. This is critical to
    prescribing because:
32. Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected.
33. The solubility of the drug will not match the site of absorption.
34. There will be less free drug available to generate an effect.
35. Drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the kidneys.
36. Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
37. Must be given by the enteral (oral) route only
38. Bypass the hepatic circulation
39. Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little if any desired action
40. Are converted by the liver to more active and fat-soluble forms
41. The route of excretion of a volatile drug will likely be the:
42. Kidneys
43. Lungs
44. Bile and feces
45. Skin
46. Medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed intramuscularly (IM) to create a storage
    reservoir of the drug. Storage reservoirs:
47. Assure that the drug will reach its intended target tissue
48. Are the reason for giving loading doses
49. Increase the length of time a drug is available and active
50. Are most common in collagen tissues
51. The NP chooses to give cephalexin every 8 hours based on knowledge of the drug’s:
52. Propensity to go to the target receptor
53. Biological half-life
54. Pharmacodynamics
55. Safety and side effects
    3 / 4
56. Azithromycin dosing requires that the first day’s dosage be twice those of the other 4 days of the
    prescription. This is considered a loading dose. A loading dose:
57. Rapidly achieves drug levels in the therapeutic range
58. Requires four- to five-half-lives to attain
59. Is influenced by renal function
60. Is directly related to the drug circulating to the target tissues
61. The point in time on the drug concentration curve that indicates the first sign of a therapeutic effect
    is the:
62. Minimum adverse effect level
63. Peak of action
