NR 566 / NR566 Advanced Pharmacology Care of the Family

Midterm Exam Review


1. TB screening test? Next step if +?


• PPD
• >15mm, >10mm if prison, healthcare, nursing home, DM, ETOH, chronically
ill, >5mm for AIDS, immune suppressed


• If + PPD --> do CXR.




2. For treatment of existing osteoporosis, the dose of alendronate


• 10 mg/day or 70 mg/week




3. Initial dosage for bone less prevention alendronate and risedronate


• 5 mg/day or 35 mg/week




4. For treatment of existing osteoporosis, the dose of risedronate


• 75 mg for 2 consecutive days or 150 mg once a month




5. Alendronate (Fosamax)

, • Therapy with 10 mg daily can increase bone density by up to 10% after 3
years and can decrease vertebral and hip fractures by 50%




6. Testosterone replacement therapy


• risk of prostate cancer




7. Testosterone replacement therapy


• Erythrocytosis is a risk; Hgb and Hct levels checked, expect increase first 6
mths, unless Hgb level higher than 17.5 g/dL, Hct higher than 54%, or both
suggests overtreatment or occasionally abuse. IM happens more than
transdermal. If the Hct is greater than 54%, therapy is stopped until the Hct
decreases to a safe level. The patient should also be evaluated for hypoxia
and sleep apnea. Restarting therapy at a reduced dose usually solves
problems.




8. Adults with vitamin B12 deficiency that is not pernicious anemia


• 1,000 mcg of oral cobalamin are given until normal B12 levels are achieved—
usually 6 to 12 weeks. In seriously ill patients, both vitamin B12 and folic
acid may need to be administered.
