Chapter 01: Drug Regulation, Actions, and Responses
MULTIPLE CHOICE BASIC CONCEPTS
1. Which health care professional has the major responsibility for dispensing prescribed drugs
under the direction of a pharmacist?
ANS: D
The physician and nurse practitioner have the major responsibility for prescribing drugs, not
dispensing them. The licensed nurse has the primary responsibility for administering drugs, although
under some circumstances a licensed nurse may dispense prescribed drugs but this is not his or her
major responsibility in drug therapy. The pharmacy technician has the major responsibility of
dispensing prescribed drugs under the direction of a licensed pharmacist.

a. Side effect
b
. Intended action

3. Which type of drug name is “owned” by the company that manufactures it?
a. Generic name
b Chemical name
Med C
c. Category name
d
. Trade name
ANS: D
The chemical name is a drug’s exact chemical composition. The generic name is the name assigned to
the drug by the U.S. Adopted Names Council and is not owned by anyone. The category name refers
to the type of drug (what it does or what it is used for) and is not an actual drug name. The trade name
(brand name) is the name provided and owned by a specific drug’s manufacturer.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering REF: p. 4

a. Penicillin
b
. Insulin
c. NSAIDs
d
. Calcium
, ANS: B
A high alert drug is one in which harm is likely to result if given at the wrong dose, to the wrong
patient, or not given to the correct patient. Drugs classified as high alert drugs include potassium,
narcotics (opioids), insulin, cancer chemotherapy drugs, and heparin (or any drug that strongly affects
blood clotting). Penicillin, NSAIDs, and calcium are not considered high alert drugs.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering REF: p. 4
5. What is the term for a drug that has the same action as a naturally occurring body hormone or
enzyme?
a. Agonist
b
. Blocking agent
c. Chemical
d
. Duplicator
Med C
ANS: A
A drug agonist is an extrinsic drug that activates the receptor sites of a cell and mimics the actions of
naturally occurring body substances (intrinsic drugs). A blocking agent is a drug
Med C
antagonist. A chemical would not necessarily be a drug at all. A duplicator is not a pharmacologic
term.
