1. A woman diagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder has been prescribed oral
paroxetine hydrochloride. What is the expected effect for this prescription?
A. Curative effect on symptoms
B. Systemic effect on symptoms
C. Local effect on symptoms
D. Parenteral effect on symptoms
ANSWER: B
Rationale: Drugs that produce systemic effects are taken into the body, circulated through
the bloodstream to their sites of action in various body tissues, and eventually eliminated
from the body. Curative agents are given to cure a disease process. In this case, paroxetine
hydrochloride will control the symptoms but not cure the disorder. Drugs with local effects,
such as sunscreen and local anesthetics, act mainly at the site of application. Paroxetine
hydrochloride is not administered parenterally. Parenteral agents are administered
subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously.

2. A client has been prescribed an antibiotic. This medication is a naturally occurring
substance that has been chemical modified. What is another name for this type of
medication?
A. Synthetic drug
B. Semisynthetic drug
C. Biotechnology drug
D. Prototype drug
ANSWER: B
Rationale: Semisynthetic drugs (e.g., many antibiotics) are naturally occurring substances
that have been chemically modified. Synthetic drugs are more standardized in their chemical
characteristics, more consistent in their effects, and less likely to produce allergic reactions.
Biotechnology drugs involve manipulating DNA and RNA and recombining genes into
hybrid molecules that can be inserted into living organisms. Prototype drugs are the first
drug of a particular group to be developed.

3. Which classification applies to morphine?
A. Central nervous system depressant
B. Central nervous system stimulant
, C. Anti-inflammatory
D. Antihypertensive
ANSWER: A
Rationale: Drugs are classified according to their effects on particular body systems, their
therapeutic uses, and their chemical characteristics. Morphine is classified as a central
nervous system depressant and will produce this effect in the client. A central nervous
system stimulant increases attention and raises mood. An anti-inflammatory agent decreases
inflammation at the site of tissue or joint inflammation. An antihypertensive agent reduces
blood pressure.

4. A client is administered amoxicillin. The generic name of this medication belongs to which
drug group?
A. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

O group (e.g., drugs with generic names
ending in “cillin” are penicillins). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are medications
that have antidepressant effects; SSRI is a broad classification, not a generic name. Diuretics
are medications that increase urine output; diuretic is a broad classification, not a generic
name. ACE inhibitor is the broad classification for the angiotensin receptor blockers, not the
generic name.

5. The administration of diphenhydramine is regulated by which U.S. government agency?
A. Public Health Service
B. Federal Trade Commission
C. Occupational Safety and Health Administration
D. Food and Drug Administration
, Rationale: The Food and Drug Administration approves drugs for over-the-counter
availability, including the transfer of drugs from prescription to OTC status, and may
require clinical trials to determine the safety and effectiveness of OTC use. The Public
Health Service is regulated by the state to maintain the health of individual citizens of the
state. The Federal Trade Commission regulates imports and exports throughout the nation.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulates safety within the workplace.

6. In the U.S., the administration of anabolic steroids is regulated by which law?
A. The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938
B. The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act
C. The Harrison Narcotic Act
D. The Sherley Amendment
ANSWER: B
Rationale: The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act regulates the
manufacture and distribution of narcotics, stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, and
anabolic steroids. The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 revised and broadened FDA
powers and responsibilities, giving the FDA control over drug safety. The Harrison Narcotic
Act restricted the importation, manufacture, sale, and use of opium, cocaine, marijuana, and
