follow-up.

prescribing.

4. Pharmacogenomics (Select all that apply.)

d. provides exact recommendations for drug therapy for prescribers.

Unit 03: Drug Therapy Across the Life Span

Case Study

The advanced practice prescriber must be aware of variations in prescription therapy based on
age, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Each of these may require alteration in prescribing decisions.

a. that any medication Britney receives will cross the placental barrier to the fetus.
b. that medications will be stopped by the placental barrier preventing transmission to the fetus.
c. lipid soluble medications have limited transmission across the placental barrier.
d. protein-bound medications are readily transmitted across the placental barrier.

3. Anisha is a 6-month-old infant. She was full term at delivery with no postdelivery
complications. If considering prescribing for her, the prescriber knows

a. drug sensitivity in the infant is related to immature organ systems.
b. renal and hepatic systems are fully developed in utero.
c. prescriptions are based solely on age.
d. gastric emptying is similar to adults at birth.

b. medications for treatment of illness may be discontinued while medications for comfort are
added.

the-counter medications.

is experiencing symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) with frequency and urge incontinence. A
urinalysis is negative for infection, protein, or glucose. She has no known drug allergies. Past
medical history includes hypertension. Current medication is Losartan 50 mg daily. She denies
