History of Pharmacology Answer Section MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. ANS: B PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Diuretic KEY: Application MSC: NCLEX Category: Basic Care and Comfort NOT: See Minerals (p. 7): Diuretic drugs such as furosemide (Lasix) cause the body to lose excess water through the kidneys, and potassium, a vital mineral is also excreted with the water. Potassium is contained in sweet potatoes, bananas, and oranges. 2. ANS: C PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Anti-diabetic medication KEY: Analysis MSC: NCLEX Category: Pharmacological Therapies NOT: See Synthetic Medications (p. 8): Insulin can be obtained from pigs or cows, but a synthetic source is most commonly used. This change occurred because of concern over the possible transmission of diseases from animals to humans. Synthetic medications are usually more inexpensive because they are mass produced. 3. ANS: D PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Combination drug (diuretic/nitrate) KEY: Analysis MSC: NCLEX Category: Pharmacologic and Parenteral Therapy NOT: See Synthetic medications (p. 8). BiDil is a combination of two generic drugs and is used to treat African American patients with heart failure. 4. ANS: A PTS: 1 DIF: Easy TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Antibiotics KEY: Analysis MSC: NCLEX Category: Pharm acological Therapies NOT: See Categorizing Medications (p. 8): Prophylactic medications are given to prevent problems such as antibiotics given before surgery to prevent infection. Example of cefazolin is listed in Table 1.2. 5. ANS: A Difficulty Level: Easy PTS: 1 DIF: Easy TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Replacement hormones KEY: Knowledge MSC: NCLEX Category: Pharmacological Therapies NOT: See Categorizing Medications (p. 9): Replacement drugs are given to replace missing substances. Levothyroxine sodium (Synthroid) is a drug that replaces missing thyroid hormone. Estrogen may be given to women once they enter menopause. Iodine 131 is a radioactive medication used to help diagnose thyroid abnormalities. Carbimazole is used to inhibit the production of thyroid hormone to treat hyperthyroidism. 6. ANS: C PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Diagnostic contrast KEY: Analysis MSC: NCLEX Category: Reduction of Risk Potential NOT: See Categorizing Medications (p. 8): Some drugs help diagnos e a disease such as barium that patients swallow to help highlight digestive problems on radiograph. 7. ANS: D PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Narcotics KEY: Analysis MSC: NCLEX Category: Pharmacological Therapies NOT: See Categorizing Medications (p. 8): Palliative drugs, such as pain relievers, do not cure disease, but they make patients more comfortable. Morphine is listed as an example in Table 1.2. Cisplatin is an antineoplastic agent and sorafenib is a biologic age nt; both are designed to treat the cancer (destructive medications), while ondansetron is given in a prophylactic measure to prevent nausea and vomiting related to the chemotherapy.
