multiple choice
1. _______refer(s) to specific molecular changes that occur when a drug binds to a
particular target site or receptor, while ______ are the resulting widespread
alterations in function.
a. drug action; therapeutic effects
b. side effects; drug effects
c. therapeutic effects; side effects
d. drug action; drug effects
ANS>> d
drug action refers to the precise biochemical interactions between a drug and its target
receptor (e.g., binding to a receptor or inhibiting an enzyme). drug effects, on the other
hand, describe the observable changes in physiological or psychological function
resulting from those molecular interactions. this includes both therapeutic and side
effects.
textbook reference: pharmacology: the science of drug action
2. after drug administration has occurred, the amount of drug in the blood that is free to
bind at specific target sites is referred to as
, a. the therapeutic dose.
b. first-pass effects.
c. bioavailability.
d. ed50.
ANS>> c
bioavailability is the proportion of a drug that enters the circulation in an active form and
is available to bind to target tissues. it is influenced by the route of administration and the
drug's ability to survive metabolism (e.g., first-pass metabolism).
textbook reference: pharmacokinetic factors determining drug action
3. the specific molecular changes that occur when a drug binds to a particular target site
or receptor are referred to as
a. drug effects.
b. drug action.
c. side effects.
d. placebo effects.
ANS>> b
drug action involves the immediate interaction of the drug with its receptor, enzyme, or
target molecule. this is different from drug effects, which are the downstream
physiological outcomes.
