EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
A patient's nutritional intake and lab work reflect
hypoalbuminemia. This is critical to prescribing
because:
Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected
Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little if
any desired action
The route of excretion of a volatile drug will be:
The lungs
The point in time on the drug concentration curve that
indicated the first sign of a therapeutic effect is the:
Onset of action
Factors that affect gastric drug absorption include:
Lipid solubility of the drug
Which one of the following statements about bio
availability is true?
Bio availability issues are especially important for drugs
with narrow therapeutic ranges or sustained release
mechanisms.
Steady State is:
When the amount of drug in the body remains constant.
The time required for the amount of drug in the body
to decrease by 50% is called:
Half-life
, An advantage of prescribing a sublingual medication
is that the medication is:
Absorbed rapidly
Drugs that use CYP 3A4 isoenzymes for metabolism
may:
1. Induce the metabolism of another drug
2. Inhibit the metabolism of another drug
3. Both 1 and 2
4. Neither 1 nor 2
BOTH A and B
Induce the metabolism of another drug
