PHARMACEUT CNPR NAPSRx Quizzes
(20 set quiz) complete solution
Physical chemistry is the study of the macroscopic, atomic, subatomic, and particulate phenomena in
chemical systems in terms of the laws and concepts of physics.>>> true
Some practical aspects of what you will study in Pharmaceutics I and II include (select all correct
statements)>>> Be proficient in ALL aspects of pharmaceutical calculations.
Prepare different types of topical formulations.
Reformulate medication into a dosage form more suitable for a specific patient.
Evaluate the inert (non-active) ingredients in formulations and perhaps make recommendations for
changes.
Calculate the shelf life (the expiration date) of medications.
Understand how basic chemical principles will affect drugs.
Pharmaceutics is most like physical chemistry, since both focus on the following topics:>>>
Pharmaceutics is most like physical chemistry, since both focus on>>> The physics and properties of
gases
The physics and properties of liquids
Chemical kinetics
, Thermodynamics
Equilibrium states
Inter-molecular forces
The physics and properties of solids
Ionic and non-ionic properties
Dimensional analysis:>>> is the process of setting up an equation in an orderly fashion to facilitate
canceling of units.
When using dimensional analysis, you should start by assigning the "unit" answer of the problem on one
side of the equal sign, then arranging the units of the variables on the other side, so the units cancel and
you are left with the correct units on both sides of the equal sign.>>> true
Pressure>>> Force per unit area.
dyne/cm2, newton/m2
Force>>> The acceleration of a mass (dyne or newton).
gm-cm/sec2, kg-m/sec2
Temperature>>> Degrees kelvin (273 °K = 0°C)
Energy>>> A force over a specific distance.
dyne-cm, newton-m
Velocity>>> Speed or distance per time.
cm/sec; m/sec
Acceleration>>> The 2nd derivative of velocity, or the rate of speed per time.cm/sec2, m/sec2
Pharmacy Practice>>> Studies effectiveness in humans.
Pharmacologists>>> Tests in animals.
Pharmacoeconomics>>> Evaluates economics of drug.
