Question Answered step-by-step 5. After a drug is administered the concept of pharmacokinetics… 5. After a drug is administered the concept of pharmacokinetics encompasses which of the following actions on the drug?Drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion Drug ingestion, utilization, and excretion Drug absorption, utilization, and excretion distribution, utilization, and excretion 6. Ethnicity plays a role in both the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic responses in patients. An example of this concept is Minimal response of Anglo-Americans to ACEI Minimal response of Irish Americans to ACEI Minimal response of African Americans to ACEI Minimal response of Italian Americans to ACEI8. Alcohol ingestion places a patient at great risk for CNS depression when they are concurrently taking which of the following medications? NSAIDS Muscle relaxers Antibiotics PPIs 9. A male patient comes in for evaluation of symptoms suggestive of BPH. On exam you note an enlarged, smooth prostate. His PSA is 0.7ng/ml (normal <4ng/ml).The patient reports they prefer to avoid pharmaceutical products for the condition. Honoring the patient's wishes you recommend a trial of saw palmetto since it blocks the binding of DHT. Understanding the dosing of saw palmetto, you recommend the following:80mg BID 160mg daily 320 mg daily 200mg BID 10. You are about to graduate from your NP program and are investigating regulation of the prescribing practices in the state you will be practicing in. Which of the following entities is the resource for the NP about prescribing practice regulation in their state? The Board of Pharmacy The Board of Nursing The Board of Healing Arts The Board of Pharmacology 11. Advancement in technology has facilitated increased electronic prescriptions. Sophisticated e-prescribing systems demonstrate the following advantages except: Evaluation for potential drug interactions Increased patient treatment plan compliance Reduction in errors secondary to legibility Avoiding drugs patients are allergic to 12. There are dietary approaches that affect the metabolism of and response of drugs. An example of this would be: Warfarin and Vitamin D MAO inhibitors and high tyramine foods Warfarin and Vitamin A MAO inhibitors and high purine foods 13. A consortium of scientists from twenty institutions representing six countries set out to map the sequence of the human genome and the genes it contained. Access to the Human Genome Project has led to the study of inherited differences in drug metabolism and response focusing on how the genes influence an individual's response to drug therapy. This field of study is known as Pharmacodynamics Pharmacotherapeutics Pharmacokinetics Pharmacogenetics 14. Prescriptions of which of the following nutrients are being provided to patients with hypertriglyceridemia? Krill Oil Fish Oil Borage Oil Cod Liver Oil 15. For many drugs the relationship between dose and the response is straight forward where lower doses produce lower responses and higher doses produce higher responses. The correlation is based on the amount of drug occupying the receptors. However, dose response relationships depend on which of the following concepts related to drug-receptor interactions? drug half-life chirality drug steady stateaffinity 16. St. John's Wort is a complementary therapy used by many for the treatment of depression and anxiety. Reportedly it inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, noradrenaline, adrenaline, and dopamine. The action of St. John's Wort is categorized the same as which of the following classes of anti-depressants? SSRIs MAO inhibitors Tricyclics SNRIs 17. The body produces a nutrient that is essential for basic cell functioning. Levels are reported to decline with age and for those individuals who have chronic diseases. It is supplemented for patients in the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure and migraine headaches. What is this nutrient? Vitamin K2 Methyl cobalamin Co-enzyme Q 10 Vitamin 18. Drug half-life is defined as the time required for half of the total drug amount to be eliminated from the body. According to first order kinetics how much of the drug is eliminated after three half-lives?87.5%12.5%. 50% 96.875% 25% 19. Melatonin is a commonly used by individuals with sleep problems as an over-the-counter aid. When taking your health history from an adult patient they report using Melatonin for sleep issues. Your knowledge of the typical dose of Melatonin for sleep leads you to anticipate the patient is taking which of the following doses for sleep? 20mg 40mg 5mg 100mg 20. You are caring for an elderly patient who has been experiencing mild diarrhea for the last 3 days. The patient reports they have prescribed Augmentin for the treatment of sinusitis.
