decision making regarding their care.

v v v v v v v
5. Nurse practitioner practice may thrive under health-care reform because of:
v v v v v v v v v

v v v v v v v v v v v
outcomes v
2. The fact that nurse practitioners will be able to practice independently

v Multiple Choice v
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
v v v v v v v v v v v
v 1. A patient’s nutritional intake and laboratory results reflect hypoalbuminemia. This is critical to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
prescribing because:
v v
1. Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected. v v v v v v v v
2. The solubility of the drug will not match the site of absorption.
v v v v v v v v v v v
3. There will be less free drug available to generate an effect.
v v v v v v v v v v
4. Drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the kidneys.
v v v v v v v v v
v 2. Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
v v v v v v v
1. Must be given by the enteral (oral) route only v v v v v v v v
2. Bypass the hepatic circulation v v v
3. Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little if any desired action
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
4. Are converted by the liver to more active and fat-soluble forms
v v v v v v v v v v
v v 3. The route of excretion of a volatile drug will likely be the:
v v v v v v v v v v v v
1. Kidneys
2. Lungs
3. Bile and feces v v
4. Skin
v 4. Medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed intramuscularly (IM) to create a storage
v v v v v v v v v v v
reservoir of the drug. Storage reservoirs:
v v v v v v
1. Assure that the drug will reach its intended target tissue v v v v v v v v v
2. Are the reason for giving loading doses v v v v v v
3. Increase the length of time a drug is available and active v v v v v v v v v v
4. Are most common in collagen tissues v v v v v
v v 5. The NP chooses to give cephalexin every 8 hours based on knowledge of the drug’s:
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
1. Propensity to go to the target receptor v v v v v v
2. Biological half-life v
3. Pharmacodynamics
4. Safety and side effects v v v
, v 6. Azithromycin dosing requires that the first day’s dosage be twice those of the other 4 days of the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
prescription. This is considered a loading dose. A loading dose:
v v v v v v v v v v
1. Rapidly achieves drug levels in the therapeutic range v v v v v v v
2. Requires four- to five-half-lives to attain v v v v v
3. Is influenced by renal function
v v v v
4. Is directly related to the drug circulating to the target tissues
v v v v v v v v v v
v 7. The point in time on the drug concentration curve that indicates the first sign of a therapeutic effect
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
is the:
v v
1. Minimum adverse effect level v v v
2. Peak of action v v
3. Onset of action v v
4. Therapeutic range v
v v 8. Phenytoin requires that a trough level be drawn. Peak and trough levels are done:
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
1. When the drug has a wide therapeutic range v v v v v v v
2. When the drug will be administered for a short time only
v v v v v v v v v v
3. When there is a high correlation between the dose and saturation of receptor sites
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
4. To determine if a drug is in the therapeutic range
v v v v v v v v v
v v 9. A laboratory result indicates that the peak level for a drug is above the minimum toxic concentration.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
This means that the:
v v v
1. Concentration will produce therapeutic effects v v v v
2. Concentration will produce an adverse response v v v v v
3. Time between doses must be shortened v v v v v
4. Duration of action of the drug is too long v v v v v v v v
v 10. Drugs that are receptor agonists may demonstrate what property?
v v v v v v v v v
1. Irreversible binding to the drug receptor site v v v v v v
2. Upregulation with chronic use v v v
3. Desensitization or downregulation with continuous use v v v v v
4. Inverse relationship between drug concentration and drug action
v v v v v v v
v 11. Drugs that are receptor antagonists, such as beta blockers, may cause:
v v v v v v v v v v v
1. Downregulation of the drug receptor v v v v
2. An exaggerated response if abruptly discontinued
v v v v v
3. Partial blockade of the effects of agonist drugs v v v v v v v
4. An exaggerated response to competitive drug agonists
v v v v v v
v 12. Factors that affect gastric drug absorption include:
v v v v v v v
1. Liver enzyme activity v v
2. Protein-binding properties of the drug molecule v v v v v
3. Lipid solubility of the drug v v v v
4. Ability to chew and swallow v v v v
v 13. Drugs administered via IV:
v v v v
1. Need to be lipid soluble in order to be easily absorbed
v v v v v v v v v v
2. Begin distribution into the body immediately v v v v v
3. Are easily absorbed if they are nonionized
v v v v v v
4. May use pinocytosis to be absorbed v v v v v
v 14. When a medication is added to a regimen for a synergistic effect, the combined effect of the drugs is:
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
1. The sum of the effects of each drug individually
v v v v v v v v
