drugs under the direction of a pharmacist?

a. Physician

ANS: D h g
The physician and nurse practitioner have the major responsibility for prescribing drugs, not
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
dispensing them. The licensed nurse has the primary responsibility for administering drugs,
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
although under some circumstances a licensed nurse may dispense prescribed drugs but this is

not his or her major responsibility in drug therapy. The pharmacy technician has the major

The purpose of drug therapy is to take a drug to prevent, reduce, or correct a health problem.

ANS: D h g
The chemical name is a drug’s exact chemical composition. The generic name is the name

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

4. Which drug or drug class is a “high alert” drug?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
a. Penicillin

.
ANS: B h g
A high alert drug is one in which harm is likely to result if given at the wrong dose, to the wrong
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
patient, or not given to the correct patient. Drugs classified as high alert drugs include potassium,
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
narcotics (opioids), insulin, cancer chemotherapy drugs, and heparin (or any drug that strongly
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
affects blood clotting). Penicillin, NSAIDs, and calcium are not considered high alert drugs.

body hormone or enzyme?
hg hg hg hg
a. Agonist
b Blocking agent hg

c. Chemical
d Duplicator

ANS: A h g
A drug agonist is an extrinsic drug that activates the receptor sites of a cell and mimics the

ANS: D h g
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
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
how strongly or to what degree a drug exerts its effects. The therapeutic effect is closer to
