-Largely unknown due to lack of studies of this population
12.Pharmacokinetics among Asians are universal to all the Asian ethnic groups.
A.True
B.False
13.Alterations in drug metabolism among Asians may lead to:
-Slower metabolism of antidepressants, requiring lower doses
14.Asians from Eastern Asia are known to be fast acetylators. Fast acetylators:
-Require higher doses of drugs metabolized by acetylization to achieve efficacy
15.Hispanic native healers (curanderas):

-Intermediate metabolizers, who have one working, wild-type allele and one mutant allele
-Extensive metabolizers, with two normally functioning alleles
17.Up to 21% of Asians are ultra-rapid 2D6 metabolizers, leading to:

-Increased adverse drug reactions, such as neutropenia
26.Patients who have a poor metabolism phenotype will have:
-Slowed metabolism of a prodrug into an active drug, leading to accumulation of prodrug
27.A patient's nutritional intake and laboratory results reflect hypoalbuminemia. This is critical to prescribing because:
-Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected.
28.Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
-Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little if any desired action
29.The route of excretion of a volatile drug will likely be the:
-Lungs
