Questions With Correct Answers
Which adverse effect may be observed after administration of tiotropium bromide in a patient
with bronchospasms associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)? -
answer✔✔Tiotropium bromide (Spiriva) can cause tachycardia as an adverse effect. Abdominal
cramps and nausea are an adverse effect of roflumilast (Daliresp). Dyspepsia and nausea is an
adverse effect of montelukast (Singulair).
Which statement is true regarding the anatomy of the lower respiratory tract? -
answer✔✔Human lungs contain 300 to 500 million alveolar sacs and have a surface area
approximately equal to that of a tennis court. Diaphragmatic and intercostal muscles contract
during inspiration and relax during expiration. Ventilation and perfusion must be equal to
maintain homeostasis. Blood flow through the pulmonary arteries to the capillaries surrounding
the alveoli to the pulmonary veins is called perfusion.
Which is the adult dosage of flunisolide (Aerospan)? - answer✔✔The adult dosage of flunisolide
(Aerospan) is 320 mcg twice daily. The adult dosage of ciclesonide (Alvesco) is between 80 and
160 mcg twice daily. The adult dosage of fluticasone (Flovent HFA) ranges from 88 to 440 mcg
twice daily. The powder inhalation dosage of fluticasone (Flovent HFA) for adults ranges from
100 to 500 mcg twice daily.
Which immunomodulator is used to treat patients with asthma exacerbations caused by airborne
allergens? - answer✔✔Omalizumab is an immunomodulator used to treat patients with asthma
exacerbations. Cromolyn is a mast cell stabilizer used to reduce the frequency of episodes of
allergic rhinitis, bronchospasm, and asthmatic attacks. Roflumilast is a phosphodiesterase-4
inhibitor used to manage symptoms of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Prednisone is a corticosteroid used to treat acute exacerbations of asthma or COPD.
Which drug should be avoided in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)? -
answer✔✔Codeine (Cotabflu) should not be prescribed to patients with COPD because the drug
causes respiratory depression and may worsen the disease. Prednisone (Deltasone) is a
corticosteroid used to treat acute exacerbations of asthma or COPD. Salmeterol (Serevent
Diskus) is a beta-adrenergic bronchodilating agent used to treat both asthma and COPD.
Dextromethorphan (Robitussin) is a cough suppressant and does not cause respiratory
depression.
