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

2. A client has been prescribed an antibiotic. This medication is a naturally occurring
substance that has been chemically modified. What is another name for this type of
medication?
A. Synthetic drug
B. Semisynthetic drug
C. Biotechnology drug
D. Prototype drug
ANS: B
Rationale: Semisynthetic drugs (e.g., many antibiotics) are naturally occurring substances
that have been chemically modified. Synthetic drugs are more standardized in their
chemical characteristics, more consistent in their effects, and less likely to produce allergic
reactions. Biotechnology drugs involve manipulating DNA and RNA and recombining
genes into hybrid molecules that can be inserted into living organisms. Prototype drugs are
the first drug of a particular group to be developed.
