FINAL PTCB Exam Review Correct answers
latest update
When a patient is required to go to a network healthcare provider, the patient is insured through:
A.
a preferred-provider organization.
B.
workers' compensation.
C.
a pharmacy benefit manager.
D.
a health maintenance organization.
The key (D) is correct because it is the only choice that requires use of a network provider. A PPO may
charge a higher co-pay for out of network. A pharmacy benefit manager is not an insurance plan, and
workers' compensation is related to the workplace where an injury occurred.
Which of the medications is on the Institute for Safe Medication Practices List of Confused Drug
Names because it is available in two different chemical forms that can be easily confused?
A.
Labetalol
B.
Hydralazine
C.
Nifedipine
D.
Metoprolol
The key (D) is correct because Metoprolol comes in Tartrate and Succinate and should be double
checked for correct formulation. Distractors (A), (B), and (C) only come in single chemical formulation.
Which of the following injectable drugs would be stored in the refrigerator?
A.
Clindamycin
B.
Ciprofloxacin
C.
Cyanocobalamin
D.
Calcitonin-salmon
The key (D) is correct because none of the drugs listed as distractors (A), (B), (C) are stored in the
refrigerator per manufacturer storage instructions.
, Which of the following medications is exempt from the Poison Prevention Packaging Act requirement
for child-resistant containers?
A.
Nitroglycerin sustained release capsules
B.
Potassium chloride
C.
Isosorbide
D.
Cholestyramine powder
The key (D) is correct because cholestyramine powder, unlikely to harm a child in the quantities that
are dispensed but could if ingested at one time, is exempt from the requirement for child-resistant
containers. Although some dosage forms of nitroglycerin (sublingual), potassium chloride (those in
unit dose packages), and isosorbide (dinitrate in sublingual or chewable tablets of 10 mg or less) are
also exempt, other dosage forms of these are not, so these medications, in their current form, are
incorrect.
A prescription reads, "Percodan tablets, dispense 120, take 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as
needed for back pain." The technician should:
A.
refer the patient to another pharmacy.
B.
refuse to fill the prescription and return it to the patient.
C.
call the regional DEA office to report a forged prescription.
D.
fill the prescription as written.
The key (D) is correct because, per the prescription, you can take up to 4 tablets per day which means
a maximum of 120 tablets in one month. This means it is a valid prescription for a controlled
substance. The prescription includes all pertinent information, so there is no need to take further
action as indicated in Distractors (A), (B), and (C).
When mixing dry powder with 150 mL of distilled water to process a prescription order calling for
reconstituted oral antibiotic suspension, 40 doses of 5 mL each, the final suspension, in milliliters,
accounted for by the dry drug is:
A.
50
B.
100
C.
150
D.
200
