MSN 623 Exam 1 Questions And
Answers With Verified Solutions 100%
Correct!!!
schedule I - ANSWER✔✔Potential for abuse is so high as to be unacceptable. May
be used for research with appropriate limitations. Examples are heroin, LSD, and
cocaine.
schedule II - ANSWER✔✔High potential for abuse and severe dependence
liability; current, accepted medical use; prescription drug-signed, not stamped
prescription. 30-day supply, no refills. Examples: opium, morphine, methadone.
schedule III - ANSWER✔✔Less abuse potential, than C-II; low-moderate physical
dependence. High psychological dependence; by prescription only, which expires
in 6 months. Maximum of five refills on one script. Examples: Tylenol with
codeine and hydrocodone
schedule IV - ANSWER✔✔Less abuse potential than C-III; accepted medical use;
limited physical and psychological dependence; written or verbal prescription,
expires in 6 months; maximum of five refills on one script. Examples: Librium,
and valium.
schedule V - ANSWER✔✔Limited abuse potential; accepted medical use; small
amounts of narcotics used as antitussives (cough medicine) or antidiarrheals; may
not need a prescription but must be recorded as a transaction. Examples: lomotil
and Robitussin A-C.
info included in writing prescription - ANSWER✔✔a. Date
b. Patients full name, legal name
c. Name of medication written out
d. The dose
e. The SIQ: directions
f. Dispensing amount, how much you want them to get
g. Refill: zero or none
h. Signature, full signature. APNP at the end.
, a. Decongestants: - ANSWER✔✔pseudoephedrine. They work like the
sympathetic nervous system they cause vasoconstriction, so the histamine doesn't
cause boogers, drainage, inflammation
b. Cause blood vessels to constrict
Sympathomimetics - ANSWER✔✔Drugs used therapeutically that mimic the
catecholamines epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Also called adrenergic
agonists.
i. Reduce nasal congestion (do not reduce rhinorrhea, sneezing, or itching)
ii. Activate alpha1-adrenergic receptors on nasal blood vessels
iii. Adverse effects
1. Rebound congestion
2. CNS stimulation
3. Cardiovascular effects and stroke
4. Abuse
Antihistamine-sympathomimetic combinations - ANSWER✔✔1. Ipratropium
bromide [Atrovent]
2. Montelukast [Singulair]
3. Omalizumab [Xolair]
steady state - ANSWER✔✔The physiologic state in which the amount of drug
removed via elimination is equal to the amount of drug absorbed with each dose.
In pharmacokinetics, steady state refers to the situation where the overall intake of
a drug is fairly in dynamic equilibrium with its elimination. In practice, it is
generally considered that steady state is reached when a time of 4 to 5 times the
half-life for a drug after regular dosing is started. Whatever medication is going in
is coming out.
minimum effective concentration - ANSWER✔✔there is a minimum amount of
the medication in the body doing the job. It is defined as the minimum
concentration of drug in plasma required to produce the therapeutic effect. It
reflects the minimum concentration of drug at the receptor site to elicit the desired
pharmacological response.
