,Chapter 1 The Foundation of Pharmacology: Quality and Safety

A woman has been prescribed paroxetine

hydrochloride, which is an antidepressant

agent administered in pill form. The
1.
medication is administered for her obsessive-

compulsive disorder. This medication will

produce which of the following effects?

A) Curative

B) Systemic

C) Local

D) Parenteral

Ans: B

Feedback:

Drugs that produce systemic effects are taken

into the body, circulated through the

bloodstream to their sites of action in various

body tissues, and eventually eliminated from

the body. Curative agents are given to cure a

disease process. In this case, paroxetine

hydrochloride will control the symptoms but

not cure the disorder. Drugs with local effects,

such as sunscreen and local anesthetics, act

mainly at the site of application. Paroxetine

hydrochloride is not administered

parenterally. Parenteral agents are

administered subcutaneously, intramuscularly,

, or intravenously.




A patient has been prescribed an antibiotic.

This medication is a naturally occurring

2. substance that has been chemically modified.

What is another name for this type of

medication?

A) Synthetic drug

B) Semisynthetic drug

C) Biotechnology drug

D) Prototype drug

Ans: B

Feedback:

, Semisynthetic drugs (e.g., many antibiotics)

are naturally occurring substances that have

been chemically modified. Synthetic drugs are

more standardized in their chemical

characteristics, more consistent in their

effects, and less likely to produce allergic

reactions. Biotechnology drugs involve

manipulating DNA and RNA and

recombining genes into hybrid molecules that

can be inserted into living organisms.

Prototype drugs are the first drug of a

particular group to be developed.




A patient is administered morphine. Morphine

is a prototypical drug that can be classified in
3.
different ways. Which of the following

classifications applies to morphine?

A) Central nervous system depressant

B) Central nervous system stimulant

C) Anti-inflammatory

D) Antihypertensive

Ans: A
