,1. Multiple Choice: Which of the following medications is considered a
first-line treatment for heart failure?
A) Lisinopril

B) Atenolol
C) Amiodarone

D) Digoxin

Correct Answer: A) Lisinopril

Rationale: Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor, which is commonly used as a
first-line treatment for heart failure due to its ability to decrease blood
pressure and reduce the workload on the heart.



2. Fill-in-the-Blank: __________ is the process by which a drug's
therapeutic effectiveness increases when taken over a period of time.

Correct Answer: Tachyphylaxis
Rationale: Tachyphylaxis refers to the rapid decrease in response to a
drug after repeated doses over a short period of time, leading to increased
doses to achieve the same effect.



3. True/False: Beta-blockers are contraindicated in patients with asthma.

Correct Answer: True
Rationale: Beta-blockers can cause bronchoconstriction and may

pharmacokinetics of elderly patients:

A) Reduced renal function may lead to drug accumulation
B) Hepatic metabolism remains unchanged

Correct Answers: A, C, D

Rationale: Elderly patients often have reduced renal function leading to

Hepatic metabolism can also change, but it is not a consistent finding.

A) Vitamin K antagonist

B) Platelet aggregation inhibitor

C) Direct thrombin inhibitor

D) Factor Xa inhibitor

Correct Answer: A) Vitamin K antagonist
