, Question 1. Which organ primarily metabolizes most drugs in the body?
A) Kidneys
B) Liver
C) Lungs
D) Intestines
Answer: B) Liver
Explanation: The liver is the primary site for drug metabolism, transforming lipophilic drugs into more
hydrophilic compounds for easier excretion.
Question 2. What is the main purpose of a loading dose in drug therapy?
A) To maintain blood levels
B) To rapidly achieve therapeutic drug concentration
C) To prevent adverse effects
D) To adjust for patient weight
Answer: B) To rapidly achieve therapeutic drug concentration
Explanation: A loading dose helps quickly reach effective blood levels of a drug, especially in severe conditions.
Question 3. Which adverse effect is most associated with ototoxicity?
A) Hearing loss
B) Nephrotoxicity
C) Hepatotoxicity
D) Neutropenia
Answer: A) Hearing loss
Explanation: Ototoxicity refers to damage to the ear, leading to hearing impairment, often caused by certain
antibiotics like aminoglycosides.
Question 4. Which phase of the nursing process involves evaluating the effectiveness of drug therapy?
A) Assessment
