NAPSRx CNPR Exam (Revised 18th Edition) Actual
Questions & Answers (Latest Update)
100% Guarantee Pass (Verified Answers)
1. what does a STAT order mean?: a drug needed immediately and given only once
2. what information does the overdosage section of the labeling provide?: signs,
symptoms and treatment of acute overdoses
3. types of drug-drug interactions:: duplication, opposition (antagonism) and alteration (p.51)
4. tolerance vs resistance: tolerance is the diminished response to a drug; resistance is the cells ability to
resist the ettects of the drug on them.
5. abbreviated new drug application (ANDA): the process by which applicants must scientifically
demonstrate to the FDA that their generic product is bioequivalent to or performs in the same way as the
innovator drug, no duplicate testing (p. 75)
6. the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984: -A.K.A. Drug Price Competition and Patent Restoration Act
-made it easier to bring generic drugs to the market by requiring the FDA to only look at bioavailability studies in order
to approve an ANDA.
-gave protection to the research based manufacturers by providing a 30-month automatic cooling ott period once an
ANDA is challenged for patent infringement (p. 75)

, 7. four basic transport mechanisms: passive dittusion, facilitated dittusion, active transport, and
pinocytosis (p. 95)
8. potency vs efficacy: potency: amount of drug necessary to produce desired ettect
eflcacy: magnitude of maximal response that can be received from a drug
*eflcacy is almost always more important that potency* (p. 106)
9. the four phases of clinical trials: phases I-IV (P. 124-126)
10. Key Parts Of A Clinical Paper (5): Abstract, Introduction, methods, results, discussion/conclusions
(p. 128-129)
11. reliability vs validity: reliability = consistency and validity = accuracy
(p. 138; 143)
12. sampling error vs selection bias: sampling error is unbiased and is randomly chosen from the
population.
selection bias is when the sample was specifically chosen based on particular characteristics (p.142-143)
13. independent vs dependent variable: An independent variable is the one that influences the
variation. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment (the result of
applying the independent variable).
14. Drug Utilization Review (DUR) programs: -involve retrospective monitoring of physicians'
prescribing patterns
