- First by conditions that they are used to treat, and then by their mechanisms of action
- First by their mechanisms of action, and then their therapeutic effects
- First by their side effects, and then by their therapeutic effects
- First by their toxicity, and then by their effectiveness - correct answer ✔✔- First by their
mechanisms of action, and then their therapeutic effects (Cam)
Bone marrow transplants...
- ...Require that the patient first undergo chemotherapy or radiation to kill the diseased stem
cells and promote white blood cell production
- ...Are type of stem cell therapy, unless patient's own cells are reinjected.
- ...Are always a type of stem cell therapy
- ...Can help people with leukemia, a condition in which the body does not produce enough
white blood cells - correct answer ✔✔- ...Can help people with leukemia, a condition in which
the body does not produce enough white blood cells (Cam)
- ...Require that the patient first undergo chemotherapy or radiation to kill the diseased stem
cells and promote white blood cell production (Correct)
What does AMA stand for?
,- American Medical Academy
- American Medical Accreditation
- American Medical Association
- Association of Medical Assistants - correct answer ✔✔- American Medical Association (Cam)
What section of a drug's package insert describes situations in which the drug should not be
used because the risks outweigh the therapeutic benefits?
- Adverse reactions
- Contraindications
- Overdosage
- Warning/precautions - correct answer ✔✔- Contraindications (Cam)
What is tertiary care?
- Adding medications together to achieve a better clinical effect
- Highly specialized medical and surgical care provided by a large medical center for unusual or
complex medical problems
- Receiving medical or surgical care that does not require an overnight stay in the treatment
facility
- Seeing a physician for routine checkups and general healthcare - correct answer ✔✔- Highly
specialized medical and surgical care provided by a large medical center for unusual or complex
medical problems (Cam)
Which of the following is NOT one of the stages in the classic approach to brand development
strategy covered in your manual?
,- Brand personality
- Brand positioning
- Brand quality
- Brand values - correct answer ✔✔- Brand personality (Cam)
- Brand quality (Correct)
"Brand quality" is NOT one of the stages in the classic approach to brand development strategy
covered in your manual. The classic approach typically focuses on elements like brand
personality, brand positioning, and brand values to establish and develop a brand's identity and
presence in the market. "Brand quality" may be an implicit aspect of a brand's image, but it's
not typically considered a distinct stage in brand development strategy.
What are vasodilators used to do?
- Decrease vascular resistance and increase blood flow
- Mimic pathogens to stimulate the immune system
- Narrow the blood vessels
- Stimulate the CNS to make the heart beat faster - correct answer ✔✔- Decrease vascular
resistance and increase blood flow (Cam)
What is the name of the condition that occurs after a specific dose of a drug is given at such
regular intervals that absorption and elimination (and therefore drug plasma concentration)
have become fairly constant?
- Homeostasis
- Steady rate
- Titration
- Tolerance - correct answer ✔✔- Steady rate (Cam)
, The condition that occurs after a specific dose of a drug is given at such regular intervals that
absorption and elimination (and therefore drug plasma concentration) have become fairly
constant is referred to as "steady state."
Homeostasis, in medical terms, refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable and balanced
internal environment despite external changes and fluctuations. It involves various physiological
processes and mechanisms that regulate factors such as temperature, blood pressure, pH, and
the concentration of various substances within the body. Homeostasis is essential for the proper
functioning of bodily systems and is critical for overall health. When homeostasis is disrupted, it
can lead to various medical conditions and imbalances. (Equilibrium)
Which statement is TRUE about ocular administration?
- Ocular administration is primarily for drugs that must cross the blood-brain barrier
- Ocular administration is used primarily to treat the eye
- Ocular administration is used when a drug must enter the bloodstream immediately
- Ocular administration is used when a drug must produce immediate effects on the brain or
spinal cord - correct answer ✔✔- Ocular administration is used primarily to treat the eye (Cam)
How are most drugs excreted?
- Via the bloodstream
- Via the heart
- Via the kidneys
- Via the skin - correct answer ✔✔- Via the kidneys (Cam)
