,Pharmacokinetics & Pharmacodynamics (6 Questions)
Question 1
A patient with kidney disease is receiving hemodialysis. Which pharmacokinetic parameter is
most affected in this patient?
A. Volume of distribution (Vd)
B. Clearance (Cl)
C. Half-life (t1/2)
D. Bioavailability (F)
Correct Answer
B
Rationale:
In patients with kidney disease, clearance is significantly reduced due to impaired renal function, leading to
accumulation of toxins and drugs.
Question 2
A medication has a narrow therapeutic index. Which pharmacokinetic parameter is most
important to monitor in this patient?
A. Peak concentration (Cmax)
B. Trough concentration (Cmin)
C. Area under the curve (AUC)
D. Volume of distribution (Vd)
Correct Answer
B
Rationale:
Monitoring trough concentrations is critical for patients with narrow therapeutic indices to prevent toxicity and
ensure efficacy.

,Question 3
A patient is taking a medication that is highly bound to plasma proteins. Which pharmacokinetic
parameter is affected?
A. Clearance (Cl)
B. Volume of distribution (Vd)
C. Bioavailability (F)
D. Protein binding
Correct Answer
B
Rationale:
Highly bound medications have a larger volume of distribution, which can affect their pharmacokinetics and
pharmacodynamics.
Question 4
A medication has a long half-life. What is the implication of this pharmacokinetic parameter?
A. The medication requires frequent dosing.
B. The medication has a rapid onset of action.
C. The medication can be administered once a day.
D. The medication has a short duration of action.
Correct Answer
C
Rationale:
A long half-life allows for less frequent dosing, making it easier to maintain adherence and reduce the risk of
toxicity.

, Question 5
A patient is taking a medication that is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system.
Which pharmacokinetic parameter is affected?
A. Clearance (Cl)
B. Volume of distribution (Vd)
C. Bioavailability (F)
D. Metabolism
Correct Answer
D
Rationale:
Medications metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system can be affected by inhibitors or inducers,
leading to changes in their pharmacokinetics.
Question 6
A patient is taking a medication that has a long elimination half-life. Which pharmacokinetic
parameter is affected?
A. Clearance (Cl)
B. Volume of distribution (Vd)
C. Bioavailability (F)
D. Elimination half-life
Correct Answer
D
Rationale:
A long elimination half-life indicates that the medication takes a long time to eliminate from the body.
