1. A woman diagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder has been prescribed oralparoxetine 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 eventuallyeliminated 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 intheir 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.

3. Which classification applies to morphine?
A. Central nervous system depressant
B. Central nervous system stimulant
C. Anti-inflammatory
D. Antihypertensive
ANS: A
Rationale: Drugs are classified according to their effects on particular body systems,their
therapeutic uses, and their chemical characteristics. Morphine is classified as a central nervous
system depressant and will produce this effect in the client. A centralnervous system stimulant
increases attention and raises mood. An anti-inflammatoryagent decreases inflammation at the
site of tissue or joint inflammation. An antihypertensive agent reduces blood pressure.

4. A client is administered amoxicillin. The generic name of this medication belongs towhich
drug group?
A. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
B. Diuretics
C. Penicillins
D. ACE inhibitors
ANS: C
Rationale: The generic name often indicates the drug group (e.g., drugs with generic names ending
in “cillin” are penicillins). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are medications that have
antidepressant effects; SSRI is a broad classification, not a genericname. Diuretics are medications
that increase urine output; diuretic is a broad classification, not a generic name. ACE inhibitor is
the broad classification for the angiotensin receptor blockers, not the generic name.
