Correct Answers
what is a nutrient for preventing congenital neural tube defects
folic acid
is a helpful vitamin for pregnant women because it helps prevent birth defects of a baby's brain. Folic
acid helps form the neural tube
(?)what are the 3 factors that increase rate of dissolution
1. inc temp
2. reducing viscosity of the medium
3. increasing agitation intensity of the medium
temperature, amount of stirring,surface area (solute)
what pathway exhibits genetic polymorphism?
glucuronidation.
the most common conjugation pathway because of the availability of glucuronic acid and the variety
of functional groups with which it can combine. The uridine 5 ′-diphosphate glucuronyltransferases
(UGTs) participate in the biotransformation of at least 100 drugs (e.g., acetaminophen, morphine,
nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs [NSAIDs])
what med contains red colored powder used to treat TB
rifampin
what is the first line treatment for TB
RIPE
rifampin (rifadin and rimactane)
isoniazid
pyrazinamide
ethambutol
differences in bioavailability between solution and tablet dosage forms of the same medication are
most likely to be measured by
AUC
zyvox brand
linezolid
linezolid monitor
blood count
thrombocytppenia induced linezolid causes immune-mediated platelet destruction
what laboratory value is required to accurately assess phenytoin levels
albumin
, phenytoin is highly protein-bound (mainly to albumin)

what laboratory test evaluates the intrinsic coagulation pathway?
aPTT( activated partial thromboplastin time)
prothromin time measures extrinsic systemic whereas aPTT measures the intrinsic pathway
what drug needs to be heated to dissolve crystals before IV infusion?
