the NP should:
Assess cognitive functioning in the elder
Encourage the patient to take a weekly “drug holiday” to keep
drug costs down
Encourage the patient to cut drugs in half with a knife to lower
costs
All of the above options are correct
Question 2. Question : The developmental variation in Phase I enzymes has what impact
on pediatric prescribing?
None; Phase I enzymes are stable throughout childhood
Children should always be prescribed lower than adult doses
per weight due to low enzyme activity until puberty
Children should always be prescribed higher than adult doses
per weight due to high enzyme activity
Prescribing dosages will vary based on the developmental
activity of each enzyme, at times requiring lower than adult doses
and at other times requiring higher than adult doses based on the
age of the child
, Question 3. Question : The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates:
Prescribing of drugs by MDs and NPs
The official labeling for all prescriptions and over-the-counter

Off-label recommendations for prescribing
Pharmaceutical educational offerings
Question 4. Question : Asians from Eastern Asia are known to be fast acetylators. Fast
acetylators:
Require acetylization in order to metabolize drugs
Are unable to tolerate higher doses of some drugs that require
acetylization
May have a toxic reaction to drugs that require acetylization
Require higher doses of drugs metabolized by acetylization to
achieve efficacy
Question 5. Question : The factor that has the greatest effect on males developing male
