, Chapter 1, The Foundation of Pharmacology: Quality and Safety




1. A woman diagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder has been prescribed oral

paroxetine hydrochloride. What is the expected effect for this prescription?


A. Curative effect on symptoms


B. Systemic effect on symptoms


C. Local effect on symptoms


D. Parenteral effect on symptoms


ANS: B


Rationale: 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.

2. A client has been prescribed an antibiotic. This medication is a naturally occurring


substance that has been cheGmRicAalDlyEmSoBdOifOieSd.TW.ChaOt Mis another name for

this type of medication?


A. Synthetic drug


B. Semisynthetic drug


C. Biotechnology drug


D. Prototype drug


ANS: B


Rationale: 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.

3. Which classification applies to morphine?


A. Central nervous system depressant


B. Central nervous system stimulant




C. Anti-inflammatory


D. Antihypertensive


ANS: A


Rationale: Drugs are classified according to their effects on particular body systems, their

therapeutic uses, and their chemical characteristics. Morphine is classified as a central nervous

system depressant and will produce this effect in the client. A central nervous system stimulant

increases attention and raises mood. An anti-inflammatory agent decreases inflammation at the

site of tissue or joint inflammation. An antihypertensive agent reduces blood pressure.
