1. A woman diagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder has been prescribed oral
h h h h h h h h h
h paroxetine hydrochloride. What is the expected effect for this prescription?
h h h h h h h h h
A. Curative effect on symptoms h h h
B. Systemic effect on symptoms h h h
C. Local effect on symptoms h h h
D. Parenteral effect on symptoms h h h
ANS: B h h
Rationale: Drugs that produce systemic effects are taken into the body, circulated through the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
bloodstream to their sites of action in various body tissues, and eventually eliminated from
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
the body. Curative agents are given to cure a disease process. In this case, paroxeti ne
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hydrochloride will control the symptoms but not cure the disorder. Drugs with local eff ects,
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
such as sunscreen and local anesthetics, act mainly at the site of application. Paroxet ine
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hydrochloride is not administered parenterally. Parenteral agents are administered sub

ANS: B

Rationale: Semisynthetic drugs (e.g., many antibiotics) are naturally occurring substances

h h h h h h h h h

that have been chemically modified. Synthetic drugs are more standardized in their chemic al
h
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h

characteristics, more consistent in their effects, and less likely to produce allergic react ions.

Biotechnology drugs involve manipulating DNA and RNA and recombining genes i nto
h h h h h h h h h h h h
hybrid molecules that can be inserted into living organisms. Prototype drugs are the f irst

Rationale: Drugs are classified according to their effects on particular body systems, their

therapeutic uses, and their chemical characteristics. Morphine is classified as a central ne
h h h h h h h h h h h h h

stimulant increases attention and raises mood. An anti-
