NSG6101 Quiz 1 / NSG 6101 Quiz 1: South University Question : To improve positive outcomes when prescribing for the elderly, the NP should: Assess cognitive functioning in the elder Encourage the patient to take a weekly “drug holiday” to keep drug costs down Encourage the patient to cut drugs in half with a knife to lower costs All of the above options are correct Question 2. Question : The developmental variation in Phase I enzymes has what impact on pediatric prescribing? None; Phase I enzymes are stable throughout childhood Children should always be prescribed lower than adult doses per weight due to low enzyme activity until puberty Children should always be prescribed higher than adult doses per weight due to high enzyme activity Prescribing dosages will vary based on the developmental activity of each enzyme, at times requiring lower than adult doses and at other times requiring higher than adult doses based on the age of the child Question 3. Question : The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates: Prescribing of drugs by MDs and NPs The official labeling for all prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs Off-label recommendations for prescribing Pharmaceutical educational offerings Question 4. Question : Asians from Eastern Asia are known to be fast acetylators. Fast acetylators: Require acetylization in order to metabolize drugs Are unable to tolerate higher doses of some drugs that require acetylization May have a toxic reaction to drugs that require acetylization Require higher doses of drugs metabolized by acetylization to achieve efficacy Question 5. Question : The factor that has the greatest effect on males developing male sexual characteristics is: Cultural beliefs Effective male role models Adequate intake of testosterone in the diet Androgen production Question 6. Question : Pharmacokinetics among Asians are universal to all the Asian ethnic groups. True False Question 7. Question : Electronic health records (EHRs): Are being discouraged by the CMS due to cost issues Allow for all patient data to be centralized in one location for access by multiple providers Use macros and templates to individualize care Use standardized software to facilitate interoperability between systems Question 8. Question : Sadie is a ninety-year-old patient who requires a new prescription. What changes in drug distribution with aging would influence prescribing for Sadie? Increased volume of distribution Decreased lipid solubility Decreased plasma proteins Increased muscle-to-fat ratio Question 9. Question : What impact does developmental variation in renal function has on prescribing for infants and children? Lower doses of renally excreted drugs may be prescribed to infants younger than six months Higher doses of water-soluble drugs may need to be prescribed due to increased renal excretion Renal excretion rates have no impact on prescribing Parents need to be instructed on whether drugs are renally excreted or not Question 10. Question : Alterations in drug metabolism among Asians may lead to: Slower metabolism of antidepressants, requiring lower doses Faster metabolism of neuroleptics, requiring higher doses Altered metabolism of omeprazole, requiring higher doses Slower metabolism of alcohol, requiring higher doses
