II II II II II II II II
A woman has been prescribed paroxetine
II II II II II
hydrochloride, which is an antidepressant
II II II II II
agent administered in pill form. The
II II II II II II
1.
medication is administered for her obsessive-
II II II II II II
compulsive disorder. This medication will II II II II
produce which of the following effects?
II II II II II II
A) Curative
B) Systemic
C) Local
D) Parenteral
Ans: B
Feedback:
Drugs that produce systemic effects are taken
II II II II II II
into the body, circulated through the
II II II II II II
bloodstream to their sites of action in various
II II II II II II II II
body tissues, and eventually eliminated from
II II II II II II
the body. Curative agents are given to cure a
II II II II II II II II II
disease process. In this case, paroxetine
II II II II II II
hydrochloride will control the symptoms but
II II II II II II
not cure the disorder. Drugs with local effects,
II II II II II II II II
such as sunscreen and local anesthetics, act
II II II II II II II
mainly at the site of application. Paroxetine
II II II II II II II
hydrochloride is not administered
II II I I I I
parenterally. Parenteral agents are
II II II II
administered subcutaneously,
I I II
intramuscularly, or intravenously.

A patient has been prescribed an antibiotic.
II II II II II II
This medication is a naturally occurring

II II II II II II II II II II II II
Semisynthetic drugs (e.g., many antibiotics) II II II II
are naturally occurring substances that have
II II II II II II
been chemically modified. Synthetic drugs are
II II II II II II
more standardized in their chemical
II II II II II
characteristics, more consistent in their
II II II I I I I
effects, and less likely to produce allergic
II II II II II II II
reactions. Biotechnology drugs involve
II II II II
manipulating DNA and RNA and
II I I II I I II
recombining genes into hybrid molecules that
II II II II II II
can be inserted into living organisms.
II II II II II II
Prototype drugs are the first drug of a II II II II II II II
particular group to be developed.
II II II II II
A patient is administered morphine. Morphine
II II II II II
is a prototypical drug that can be classified in
II II II II II II II II II
3.
different ways. Which of the following II II II II II
classifications applies to morphine?
II II II II
A) Central nervous system depressant II II II
B) Central nervous system stimulant II II II
C) Anti-inflammatory
D) Antihypertensive
Ans: A
Feedback:
Drugs are classified according to their effects
II II II II II II
on particular body systems, their therapeutic
II II II II II II
uses, and their chemical characteristics. For
II II II II II II
example, morphine can be classified as a
II II II II II II II
central nervous system depressant and a
II II II II II II
narcotic or opioid analgesic. A central nervous
II II II II II II II
system stimulant increases attention and
II II I I I I I I
raises mood. An anti-inflammatory agent
II II II II II
decreases inflammation at the site of tissue or
II II II II II II II II
joint inflammation. An antihypertensive agent
II II II II II
reduces blood pressure.
II II II
A patient is administered amoxicillin
II II II II
(Amoxil). The generic name of this
II II II II II II
4.
medication indicates that it belongs to which II II II II II II
drug group?
II II
A) Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors II II II
B) Diuretics
C) Penicillins
D) ACE inhibitors II
Ans: C

II II II II II II II II II II II II
Feedback:
The generic name often indicates the drug
II II II II II II
group (e.g., drugs with generic names ending
II II II II II II II
in “cillin” are penicillins). Selective serotonin
II II II II II II
reuptake inhibitors are medications that have
II II II II II II
antidepressant effects; SSRI is a broad
II II II II II II
classification, not a generic name. Diuretics
II II II II II II
are medications that increase urine output;
II II II II II II
diuretic is a broad classification, not a generic
II II II II II II II II
name. ACE inhibitor is the broad
II II II II II II
classification for the angiotensin-converting
I I II II II
enzyme inhibitors, not the generic name.

The administration of diphenhydramine

(Benadryl), which is an over-the-counter

agency?
II
A) Public Health Service II II
B) Federal Trade Commission II II
Occupational Safety and Health II II II
C)
Administration
D) Food and Drug Administration
II II II
Ans: D
Feedback:
The Food and Drug Administration approves
II II II II II
drugs for over-the-counter availability,
II II II II
including the transfer of drugs from
II II II II II II
prescription to OTC status, and may require
II II II II II II II
clinical trials to determine the safety and
II II II II II II II
effectiveness of OTC use. The Public Health
II II II II II II II
Service is regulated by the state to maintain
II II II II II II II II
the health of individual citizens of the state.
