Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
BASIC CONCEPTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Which health care professional has the major responsibility for dispensing prescribed
    drugs under the direction of a pharmacist?
    a. Physician
    b
    .
    Nurse practitioner
    c. Licensed nurse
    d
    .
    Pharmacy technician
    ANS: D
    The physician and nurse practitioner have the major responsibility for prescribing drugs, not
    dispensing them. The licensed nurse has the primary responsibility for administering drugs,
    although under some circumstances a licensed nurse may dispense prescribed drugs but this is
    not his or her major responsibility in drug therapy. The pharmacy technician has the major
    responsibility of dispensing prescribed drugs under the direction of a licensed pharmacist.

  2. Which term describes the effect of a drug that improves body function?
    a. Side effect
    b
    .
    Intended action
    c. Adverse reaction
    d
    .
    Idiosyncratic response
    ANS: B
    The purpose of drug therapy is to take a drug to prevent, reduce, or correct a health problem.
    This response is any drug\u2019s intended action also known as a therapeutic response.
    DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering REF: p. 3<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Which type of drug name is \u201cowned\u201d by the company that manufactures it?
    a. Generic name
    b Chemical name<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2
    .
    c. Category name
    d
    .
    Trade name
    ANS: D
    The chemical name is a drug\u2019s exact chemical composition. The generic name is the name
    assigned to the drug by the U.S. Adopted Names Council and is not owned by anyone. The
    category name refers to the type of drug (what it does or what it is used for) and is not an actual
    drug name. The trade name (brand name) is the name provided and owned by a specific drug\u2019s
    manufacturer.
    DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering REF: p. 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Which drug or drug class is a \u201chigh alert\u201d drug?
      a. Penicillin
      b
      .
      Insulin
      c. NSAIDs
      d
      .
      Calcium
      ANS: B
      A high alert drug is one in which harm is likely to result if given at the wrong dose, to the wrong
      patient, or not given to the correct patient. Drugs classified as high alert drugs include potassium,
      narcotics (opioids), insulin, cancer chemotherapy drugs, and heparin (or any drug that strongly
      affects blood clotting). Penicillin, NSAIDs, and calcium are not considered high alert drugs.
      DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering REF: p. 4<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. What is the term for a drug that has the same action as a naturally occurring body
      hormone or enzyme?
      a. Agonist
      b
      .
      Blocking agent
      c. Chemical
      d
      .
      Duplicator
      ANS: A
      A drug agonist is an extrinsic drug that activates the receptor sites of a cell and mimics the
      actions of naturally occurring body substances (intrinsic drugs). A blocking agent is a drug<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      antagonist. A chemical would not necessarily be a drug at all. A duplicator is not a pharmacologic
      term.
      DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering REF: pp. 6-7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Which term describes how the body affects drug activity?
        a. Drug potency
        b
        .
        Pharmacodynamics
        c. Therapeutic effect
        d
        .
        Pharmacokinetics
        ANS: D
        The term pharmacokinetics refers to drug metabolism and how the body changes a drug.
        Pharmacodynamics refers to how a drug works to change body function. Drug potency refers to
        how strongly or to what degree a drug exerts its effects. The therapeutic effect is closer to
        pharmacodynamics, meaning how a drug works to change body function.

      2. In the United States, which group is responsible for enforcing established standards for
        drug manufacturing?
        a. U.S. Pharmacopeia
        b
        .
        National Institutes of Health
        c. Food and Drug Administration
        d
        .
        Association of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers
        ANS: C
        The standards for drug manufacture are established by the U.S. Pharmacopeia. These standards
        are enforced by the Food and Drug Administration. Neither the National Institutes of Health nor
        the Association of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers has any authority to enforce drug standards.
        DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering REF: p. 5<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Which factor is a major disadvantage of the transdermal drug delivery route?
        a. Only a prescriber can administer drugs by the transdermal route.
        b
        .
        Transdermal drugs must be sterile rather than clean.
        c. First pass drug loss by this route is the most extensive.
        d Drug absorption is dependent on adequate circulation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        .
        ANS: D
        Once a transdermal drug moves through the skin, it must enter the bloodstream to reach its target
        tissue. If circulation is poor to the area where the transdermal drug is applied, very little, if any,
        of the drug will reach its target tissue.

          \n
        1. How are intrinsic drugs different from extrinsic drugs?
          a. Intrinsic drugs are made by the body, whereas extrinsic drugs are made outside the body.
          b
          .
          Intrinsic drugs are administered by the parenteral route, whereas extrinsic drugs are
          administered by the oral route.
          c. Extrinsic drugs can only be applied to the skin or mucous membranes, whereas intrinsic
          drugs are taken internally.
          d
          .
          Extrinsic drugs require a prescription for administration, whereas intrinsic drugs are
          available over-the-counter.
          ANS: A
          Intrinsic drugs are the hormones, enzymes, and other chemicals made by the body that change
          cell activity. Extrinsic drugs are manufactured from chemical, animal, or plant sources and must
          have a means of entering the body in order to change cell activity.

        2. A patient asks why his drug to control high blood pressure has only one generic name and
          two different trade names. What is your best response?
          a. \u201cMost drugs have different trade names that indicate different dosages.\u201d
          b
          .
          \u201cThe two different trade names indicate that one is a more pure and safer drug than the
          other.\u201d
          c. \u201cThe generic name is the actual official drug name and the trade name is a brand owned by
          a specific manufacturer.\u201d
          d
          .
          \u201cIf you have insurance, you can get the trade name drug, which is usually more expensive
          than the generic named drug.\u201d
          ANS: C
          The generic name is the name assigned to the drug by the U.S. Adopted Names Council and is
          not owned by anyone. The trade name (brand name) is the name provided and owned by a
          specific drug\u2019s manufacturer. More than one manufacturer can make and sell the same drug at the
          same time under a different trade name. Regardless of trade name, all drugs that have the same
          generic name must be alike in their chemical composition and strength.
