pharmacology for the surgical technologist
A series of test used to identify disease-causing microorganisms and to determine their
susceptibility to various antibiotics is called - ANS b. culture and sensitivity
Endogenous infection occurs from - ANS the patient's own bacteria
Eukaryotes are known to - ANS be multicellular organisms
which function is NOT how antimicrobial agents may work against pathogenic microorganisms?
a. inhibit cell wall synthesis
b. altering cell wall membrane
c. interfereing with cell metabolism
d. interfereing with reabsorption of sodium - ANS D. diuretics interfere with sodium reabsorption
not antibiotics
when a microorganism's DNA sequence is altered to prevent destruction by an agent, the
microorganism is said to have developed a(n) - ANS antibiotic resistance
Amount the most causative agents of SSI are bacteria known as - ANS Staphylococcus aureus
(found on the skin and in nasal cavity )
Preoperative and intraoperative antibiotics may be administered by any one of the following
methods except - ANS orally
which category of antibiotics is known to be ototoxic and nephrotoxic? - ANS Aminoglycosides
which major group of antibiotics is classified into five generations on the basis of the spectrum
of its activity? - ANS Celphalosporins
generations are based off range of activity
each newer gen requires doses less frequently.
erythromycin belongs to which group of antibiotics - ANS Macrolides
(thromycin)
Who discovered penicillin? - ANS Alexander Fleming in 1928
which combination agent contains antibiotic an anti-inflammatory and must be shaken before
using? - ANS cortisporin otic
( neomycin + polymyxin b sulfate+ hydocotisone =
is a suspension so needs be shaken )
antibiotics are natural chemicals, which are produced by - ANS microorganisms
antibiotics assist the surgical patients own defenses to prevent or diminish - ANS SSI
the surgical patient checklist is a tool to help with compliance for antibiotic administration and
was developed by - ANS the who
A sulfonamide is a antimicrobial chemical and is further classified as - ANS a synthetic
antibacterical
(sulfonamides are developed in the lab by chemical synthesis )
to cause an infection, a pathogen must have a (n) - ANS source
a way of distinguishing between two types of bacteria is called - ANS Gram staining
which agent is a bactericidal? - ANS Penicillins
( beta-lactams, aminogycosides are bactericidal)
which is the correct group of antibiotics that belong to the beta-lactam class? - ANS penicillins,
cephalosporins, carbapenemsm(monobactams)
, which ointment is a naturally occurring antibiotic produced by fermentation and used as
intranasal packing? - ANS bactroban
1 first-generation cephalosporins (cef)
2third generation cephalosporins
3 aminoglycoside (cin)
4aminopenicillin
5 broad spectrum penicillin
6penicillnase- resistant penicillin
7 sulfonamide
8 tetracyline - ANS 1 cefazolin (ancef)
2 Ceftriaxone (rocephin)
3 amkiacin(amikin)
4 amoicillin (omnipen)
5 piperacillin (pipracil)
6methicillin (staphcillin)
7 silver sulfadiazine (silvadene)
8 minocycline (minocin)
infection caused by more than one microorganism - ANS polymicrobial infection
characteristics of antibiotics in which the agent is toxic to the infecting microorganism without
harming the host - ANS selective toxicity
all of the following statements are the true of contrast media EXCEPT
a. they are sensitive to light
b. they are clear in color
c. most contain iodine
d. most are radiotransparent - ANS D.
most are radiopaque
acetic acid is used to - ANS identify cervical dysplasia
( it causes abnormal tissue to be whiter than surrounding)
Dyes can be administered by all of the following methods except:
a. inj into blood stream
b. ingested into digestive system
c. applied topically to tissue
d. instilled into cavities - ANS ingested into the digestive system
(dyes are administered intravenously, topically and instilled in body cavities )
Staining agents are used surgically to: - ANS Identify abnormal cells
during an operatice cholangiogram, saline is injected to - ANS verify catheter placement
( saline is inj first to verify the correct placement of the catherer; then contrast media is injected
through the catheter and an x-ray fil is taken )
which agent is used to mark skin incisions? - ANS dyes
a chemical agent is brought into the OR suite by the circulating nurse, during a laser procedure
of the cervix it smells like vinegar-what do you suspect the chemical agent is? - ANS Acetic
acid
(aka vinegar)
