r r r
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
r r r r r r r r r r r
r rr 1. Nurse practitioner prescriptive authority is regulated by:
r r r r r r r
1. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing
r r r r r r r
2. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
r r r r
3. The State Board of Nursing for each state
r r r r r r r
4. The State Board of Pharmacy
r r r r
r rr 2. The benefits to the patient of having an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse
r r r r r r r r r r r r
(APRN) prescriberinclude:
r r r
1. Nurses know more about Pharmacology than other prescribers
r r r r r r r
because they take itboth in their basic nursing program and in
r r r r r r r r r r r r
their APRN program.
r r r
2. Nurses care for the patient from a holistic approach and include the patient in
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
decision making regarding their care. r r r r
3. APRNs are less likely to prescribe narcotics and other controlled substances.
r r r r r r r r r r
4. APRNs are able to prescribe independently in all states,
r r r r r r r r
whereas a physician’sassistant needs to have a physician
r r r r r r r r r
supervising their practice.
r r r
r rr 3. Clinical judgment in prescribing includes:
r r r r r
1. Factoring in the cost to the patient of the medication prescribed
r r r r r r r r r r
2. Always prescribing the newest medication available for the disease process
r r r r r r r r r
3. Handing out drug samples to poor patients r r r r r r
4. Prescribing all generic medications to cut costs r r r r r r
r rr 4. Criteria for choosing an effective drug for a disorder include:
r r r r r r r r r r
1. Asking the patient what drug they think would work best for them
r r r r r r r r r r r
2. Consulting nationally recognized guidelines for disease management r r r r r r
3. Prescribing medications that are available as samples before writing a r r r r r r r r r

Chapter 2. Review of Basic Principles of
r r r r r r
rPharmacologyMultiple Choice r r
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
r r r r r r r r r r r
r rr 1. A patient’s nutritional intake and laboratory results reflect
r r r r r r r r
hypoalbuminemia. This is critical toprescribing because:
r r r r r r r
1. Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected. r r r r r r r r
2. The solubility of the drug will not match the site of absorption.
r r r r r r r r r r r
3. There will be less free drug available to generate an effect.
r r r r r r r r r r
4. Drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the kidneys.
r r r r r r r r r
r rr 2. Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
r r r r r r r
1. Must be given by the enteral (oral) route only
r r r r r r r r
2. Bypass the hepatic circulation r r r
3. Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little if any desired action
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
4. Are converted by the liver to more active and fat-soluble forms
r r r r r r r r r r
r rr 3. The route of excretion of a volatile drug will likely be the:
r r r r r r r r r r r r
1. Kidneys
2. Lungs
3. Bile and feces r r
4. Skin
r rr 4. Medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed intramuscularly (IM)
r r r r r r r
to create a storagereservoir of the drug. Storage reservoirs:
r r r r r r r r r r
1. Assure that the drug will reach its intended target tissue
r r r r r r r r r
2. Are the reason for giving loading doses
r r r r r r
3. Increase the length of time a drug is available and active r r r r r r r r r r
4. Are most common in collagen tissues
r r r r r
r rr 5. The NP chooses to give cephalexin every 8 hours based on knowledge of the drug’s:
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
1. Propensity to go to the target receptor r r r r r r
2. Biological half-life r
3. Pharmacodynamics
4. Safety and side effects r r r
,ASAAS
r rr 6. Azithromycin dosing requires that the first day’s dosage be twice those of the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
other 4 days of theprescription. This is considered a loading dose. A loading
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
dose:
r
1. Rapidly achieves drug levels in the therapeutic range
r r r r r r r
2. Requires four- to five-half-lives to attain r r r r r

r rr 8. Phenytoin requires that a trough level be drawn. Peak and trough levels are done:
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
1. When the drug has a wide therapeutic range
r r r r r r r
2. When the drug will be administered for a short time only
r r r r r r r r r r
3. When there is a high correlation between the dose and saturation of receptor
r r r r r r r r r r r r
sites r
4. To determine if a drug is in the therapeutic range
r r r r r r r r r
r 9. A laboratory result indicates that the peak level for a drug is above the minimum
rr r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
rtoxic concentration.
r
This means that the:
r r r

r r r r r
4. Duration of action of the drug is too long r r r r r r r r
r 10. Drugs that are receptor agonists may demonstrate what property?
r r r r r r r r r r
1. Irreversible binding to the drug receptor site r r r r r r
2. Upregulation with chronic use r r r
3. Desensitization or downregulation with continuous use r r r r r
4. Inverse relationship between drug concentration and drug action
r r r r r r r
r 11. Drugs that are receptor antagonists, such as beta blockers, may cause:
r r r r r r r r r r r r
1. Downregulation of the drug receptor r r r r
2. An exaggerated response if abruptly discontinued
r r r r r
3. Partial blockade of the effects of agonist drugs
r r r r r r r

r 13. Drugs administered via IV:
r r r r r
1. Need to be lipid soluble in order to be easily absorbed
r r r r r r r r r r
2. Begin distribution into the body immediately
r r r r r
3. Are easily absorbed if they are nonionized
r r r r r r
4. May use pinocytosis to be absorbed
r r r r r
r 14. When a medication is added to a regimen for a synergistic effect, the combined
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
reffect of the drugs is:
r r r r
1. The sum of the effects of each drug individually
r r r r r r r r
2. Greater than the sum of the effects of each drug individually

r r r r r r r r r r r
4. Lipid-soluble drugs do not pass these barriers and are safe for pregnant women. r r r r r r r r r r r r
r 17. Drugs are metabolized mainly by the liver via phase I or phase II reactions. The
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
purpose of both ofthese types of reactions is to:
r r r r r r r r r r
1. Inactivate prodrugs before they can be activated by target tissues r r r r r r r r r
2. Change the drugs so they can cross plasma membranes r r r r r r r r
3. Change drug molecules to a form that an excretory organ can excrete

r r r r r r r r r r
minimum toxicconcentration
r r r

crushed, the coated beads ofthe drugs could possibly result in:
r r r r r r r r r r r
r 29. Which of the following substances is the most likely to be absorbed in the
