DPT 6521 Pharmacology Exam 1
questions with correct answers
list the general ways drugs can impact rehab - answers- response to exercise
- patient pain perception
- participation and motivation in rehab
- interactions with modalities
- side effect screening
- understanding of current medical management in inter-professional care
how could fentanyl patches impact the use of physical agents - answers- could lead to
possible relative or absolute contraindications
- ex: heat wraps not indicated for same region as fentanyl patches as it would impact
administration
why are PTs considered an important part of side effect screening - answers- prolonged
exposure to patients, perfect position to identify possible side effects
- also helpful to know adverse drug events that are / are not related to PT interventions
define drug - answers- any non-nutrient chemical which has a physiological effect on
the body
- can alter by increasing or decreasing function
list the common drug types - answers- natural
- semi synthetic
- synthetic
define pharmacotherapeutics - answers- the use of specific drugs to prevent, treat or
diagnose a disease
define pharmacokinetics - answers- study of how the body processes a drug
- absorption, distribution, and elimination
define toxicology - answers- study of harmful effects of chemicals
define pharmacodynamics - answers- analysis of drug mechanism and effects
- systemic effects
- cellular effects
,what is bioequivalency - answers- same amount and time of active ingredients
- same administration route
- same pharmacokinetic profile
- same therapeutic effect
discuss generic drug names - answers- often the easiest way to refer to a drug
- typically less expensive
- should meet bioequivalency criteria
- even with testing, patients don't always respond to generic drugs the same as brand
name
discuss brand name drugs - answers- similar trade names for dugs in very different
classifications
- may not bear any resemblance to chemical or generic terminology
list the generic name for cialis - answers- Tadalafil
list the generic name for Tylenol - answers- acetaminophen
- paracetamol
list the generic name of OxyContin - answers- oxycodone
list the generic name for Zithromax - answers- azithromycin
list the generic name for Sudafed - answers- pseudoephedrine
provide the example and use for the suffix -azine - answers- antipsychotics,
neuroleptics, antiemetic
- example = phenothiazine
provide the example and use for the suffix -azole - answers- anti fungal
- example = miconazole
provide the example and use for the suffix - azepam - answers- anti-anxiety drugs
- example = benzodiazepines
provide the example and use for the suffix -barbital/-bital - answers- barbiturate sedative
hypnotics
- example = phenobarbital
provide the example and use for the suffix -caine - answers- local anesthetics
- example = lidocaine
provide the example and use for the suffix - cillin - answers- antibiotics
- example = penicillin
, provide the example and use for the suffix - cycline - answers- antibiotic protein
synthesis inhibitor
- example = tetracycline
provide the example and use for the suffix - mycin / - micin - answers- amino glycoside
inhibiting antibiotic
- example = erythromycin
provide the example and use for the suffix - nadir / - vir - answers- protease inhibitor,
antiviral (HIV, Hep B/C)
- example = saquinavir
provide the example and use for the suffix -olol - answers- beta adrenergic blocker
- example = propanolol

- example = lisinopril
provide the example and use for the suffix -statin - answers- HMG-CoA reductase
inhibitors
- example = lovastatin
list pros for over the counter (OTC) drugs - answers- lower drug doses
- increased availability / access
- less expensive
list cons for over the counter (OTC) drugs - answers- possible interactions with
prescription meds
- may delay use of more effective medications or treatments
- adverse effects
define dose - answers- the amount of drug administered in a given formulation
** important because dose must be high enough to produce a concentration in the blood
large enough to produce a beneficial response without being toxic
define drug efficacy - answers- dosages range over which the drug has a desired effect
- magnitude of response increases as dosage increases (up to max effect)
define drug potency - answers- threshold dose that produces a given response
