assigned to the drug by the U.S. Adopted Names Council and is not owned by anyone. The
category name refers to the type of drug (what it does or what it is used for) and is not an actual
drug name. The trade name (brand name) is the name provided and owned by a specific drug’s
manufacturer.

a. Penicillin
b Insulin
.
c. NSAIDs

a. Drug potency
b Pharmacodynamics
.
c. Therapeutic effect
d Pharmacokinetics
.
ANS: D
The term pharmacokinetics refers to drug metabolism and how the body changes a drug.
Pharmacodynamics refers to how a drug works to change body function. Drug potency refers to
how strongly or to what degree a drug exerts its effects. The therapeutic effect is closer to
pharmacodynamics, meaning how a drug works to change body function.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering REF: p. 10
7. In the United States, which group is responsible for enforcing established standards for
drug manufacturing?
a. U.S. Pharmacopeia
b National Institutes of Health
.
c. Food and Drug Administration

a. Only a prescriber can administer drugs by the transdermal route.
b Transdermal drugs must be sterile rather than clean.
