Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.

_ 1. A patient’s nutritional intake and lab work reflects hypoalbuminemia. This is critical to
prescribing because:
A. Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected
B. The solubility of the drug will not match the site of absorption
C. There will be less free drug available to generate an effect
D. Drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the kidney
_ 2. Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
A. Must be given by the enteral (oral) route only
B. Bypass the hepatic circulation
C. Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little if any desired action
D. Are converted by the liver to more active and fat-soluble forms
_ 3. The route of excretion of a volatile drug will likely be:
A. The kidneys
B. The lungs
C. The bile and feces
D. The skin

_ 4. Medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed IM to create a storage reservoir of the
drug. Storage reservoirs:
A. Assure that the drug will reach its intended target tissue
B. Are the reason for giving loading doses
C. Increase the length of time a drug is available and active
D. Are most common in collagen tissues
_ 5. The NP chooses to give cephalexin every 8 hours based on knowledge of the drug’s:
A. Propensity to go to the target receptor
B. Biological half-life
C. Pharmacodynamics
D. Safety and side effects

_ 6. Azithromycin dosing requires the first day’s dose be twice those of the other 4 days of the
prescription. This is considered a loading dose. A loading dose:
A. Rapidly achieves drug levels in the therapeutic range
B. Requires four to five half-lives to attain

C. Is influenced by renal function
D. Is directly related to the drug circulating to the target tissues

_ 7. The point in time on the drug concentration curve that indicates the first sign of a therapeutic
effect is the:
A. Minimum adverse effect level
B. Peak of action
C. Onset of action
D. Therapeutic range
_ 8. Phenytoin requires a trough level be drawn. Peak and trough levels are done:
A. When the drug has a wide therapeutic range
B. When the drug will be administered for a short time only
C. When there is a high correlation between the dose and saturation of receptor sites
D. To determine if a drug is in the therapeutic range

_ 9. A laboratory result indicates the peak level for a drug is above the minimum toxic
concentration. This means that the:
A. Concentration will produce therapeutic effects
B. Concentration will produce an adverse response
C. Time between doses must be shortened
D. Duration of action of the drug is too long
_ 10. Drugs that are receptor agonists may demonstrate what property?
A. Irreversible binding to the drug receptor site
B. Up-regulation with chronic use
C. Desensitization or down-regulation with continuous use
D. Inverse relationship between drug concentration and drug action

_ 11. Drugs that are receptor antagonists, such as beta blockers, may cause:
A. Down-regulation of the drug receptor
B. An exaggerated response if abruptly discontinued
C. Partial blockade of the effects of agonist drugs
D. An exaggerated response to competitive drug agonists

_ 12. Factors that affect gastric drug absorption include:
A. Liver enzyme activity
B. Protein-binding properties of the drug molecule
C. Lipid solubility of the drug
D. Ability to chew and swallow

_ 13. Drugs administered via intravenous (IV) route:
A. Need to be lipid soluble in order to be easily absorbed
B. Begin distribution into the body immediately
C. Are easily absorbed if they are nonionized
D. May use pinocytosis to be absorbed

_ 14. When a medication is added to a regimen for a synergistic effect, the combined effect of the
drugs is:
A. The sum of the effects of each drug individually
B. Greater than the sum of the effects of each drug individually
C. Less than the effect of each drug individually

placental) is true?

of these types of reactions is to:
A. Inactivate prodrugs before they can be activated by target tissues
B. Change the drugs so they can cross plasma membranes
