Chapter 01: Introduction to Respiratory Care Pharmacology
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The listing of a drug and the amount of drug are found in which part of a prescription?
a. Superscription
b. Inscription
c. Subscription
d. Transcription (signature)
ANS: B
The superscription directs the pharmacist to take the drug listed and prepare the medication; the
inscription lists the name and quantity of the drug being prescribed; the subscription provides directions
to the pharmacist for preparing the medication; and the transcription, or signature, is the information the
pharmacist writes on the label as instructions to the patient.
REF: p. 7
2. If generic substitution is permitted on a prescription:
a. drug from only one manufacturer must be given.
b. drug formulation may be changed by the pharmacist.
c. any manufactured brand of the drug listed may be given.
d. drug strength may be changed by the pharmacist.
Fr
ANS: C
an
A generic substitution allows any brand of a drug to be given, but the pharmacist may not change a drug
formulation without specific permission from the prescribing physician. A physician can indicate to the
pharmacist that generic substitution is permitted in the filling of the prescription. In such a case, the
kl
pharmacist may provide any manufacturer’s version of the prescribed drug, rather than a specific brand.
However, the pharmacist may not change the strength of a drug without specific permission from the
yn
prescribing physician.

c. therapeutics.
d. toxicology.
ANS: B
Pharmacogenetics is the study of the interrelationship of genetic differences and drug effects.
Pharmacology is the study of drugs (chemicals), including their origin, properties, and interactions with
living organisms. Therapeutics is the art of treating disease with drugs. Toxicology is the study of toxic
substances and their pharmacologic actions, including antidotes and poison control.
REF: p. 3
4. The brand name given to a drug by a particular manufacturer is known as the drug’s
a. chemical name.
b. generic name. c. official name. d. trade name.
ANS: D
The chemical name indicates the drug’s chemical structure. The generic name is assigned by the United
States Adopted Name Council and is usually based loosely on the drug’s chemical structure. The official
name is the name given to the generic name once a drug becomes fully approved for general use and is
admitted to the United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary. The trade name is the brand, or
proprietary, name given by a particular manufacturer. For example, the generic drug albuterol is currently
marketed by Schering-Plough as Proventil® and by GlaxoSmithKline as Ventolin®.
REF: p. 5

5. To find official information about drugs (according to the FDA), you need to go to the
a. Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR).
an
b. Basic & Clinical Pharmacology.
kl
c. United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP-NF).
d. Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics.
yn
ANS: C
e
Because the PDR is prepared by drug manufacturers themselves, it may be lacking in objectivity. Basic &
Clinical Pharmacology covers only general pharmacologic principles and drug classes. Goodman &
A
Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics covers only general pharmacologic principles and
drug classes. The USP-NF is a book of standards containing information about medications, dietary
pl
supplements, and medical devices. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers this book
the official standard for drugs marketed in the United States.
