Answers | Updates | 100% Correct –GCU.
1. In a patient with a history of deep vein thrombosis, how would the
administration of Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) be relevant to their treatment
plan?
UFH would be used to prevent further clot formation.
UFH would be used to manage blood sugar levels.
UFH would be used to increase platelet count.
UFH would be used to treat hypertension.
2. What is the primary adverse effect associated with inhaled short-acting β2
agonists (SABAs)?
Tremor
Hypertension
Tachycardia
Angina pectoris
3. If a patient taking Ondansetron reports persistent headaches, what would be
an appropriate course of action?
Advise the patient to stop taking Ondansetron immediately.
Evaluate the patient's medication regimen for potential side effects
and consider alternative treatments.
Suggest over-the-counter pain relievers without consulting a
physician.
Increase the dose of Ondansetron to alleviate headaches.
,4. What is the primary mechanism by which insulin helps to lower potassium
levels in the blood?
Insulin increases renal excretion of potassium.
Insulin promotes the synthesis of potassium in the liver.
Insulin facilitates the uptake of potassium into cells.
Insulin inhibits the release of potassium from cells.
5. What is the primary reason heart patients on clopidogrel should avoid
Omeprazole?
Omeprazole enhances the absorption of clopidogrel.
Omeprazole is contraindicated in heart patients.
Omeprazole causes increased side effects of clopidogrel.
Omeprazole can reduce the effectiveness of clopidogrel.
6. What is the key characteristic of first-order pharmacokinetics in relation to
drug metabolism?
Drug metabolism occurs only at high concentrations.
The drug is metabolized at a constant rate regardless of
concentration.
The rate of drug metabolism is proportional to the drug
concentration.
The drug is eliminated completely in a fixed time period.
7. What is the preferred treatment for acute gouty attacks?
Corticosteroids
Colchicine
, Opioids
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
8. What is a common comorbid condition associated with gout?
Asthma
Diabetes
Hypertension
Heart failure
9. Describe the process by which a pathological fracture occurs.
A pathological fracture occurs when a bone is subjected to excessive
force during physical activity.
A pathological fracture occurs when a bone is exposed to extreme
temperatures.
A pathological fracture occurs when a bone is improperly healed from
a previous injury.
A pathological fracture occurs when a bone that has been
weakened by a disease, such as osteoporosis or cancer, breaks
under normal stress.
10. If a patient with osteoporosis experiences a fall and sustains a fracture, what
type of fracture is most likely to occur and why?
Traumatic fracture due to excessive force.
Pathological fracture due to weakened bone structure.
Compound fracture due to an open wound.
Stress fracture due to repetitive strain.
, 11. In a patient with left heart failure, which of the following symptoms would
most likely indicate reduced blood delivery to the body's tissues?
Shortness of breath during exercise
Fatigue and weakness
Increased heart rate at rest
Elevated blood pressure
12. The proportion of essential (primary) hypertension among all hypertension
cases is as high as:
40-45%
25-30%
90-95%
60-65%
13. If a newborn with Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) does not respond to
NSAID treatment, what would be the next appropriate step in management?
Consider surgical intervention to close the ductus.
Increase the dosage of NSAIDs.
Monitor the patient without intervention.
Switch to a different class of medication.
14. What is the role of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in
lowering blood pressure?
They reduce formation of the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and
reduce blood volume
They reduce renal reabsorption of Na+ and water
