a. Manufacturer’s section a2
b. Brand and Generic Name section a2 a2 a2 a2
c. Product Category section a2 a2

A physician’s order would include the brand and/or generic name of the drug. The alphabetic
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
index in the PDR would make this section the most user friendly. Based on a physician’s order,
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
manufacturer’s information and classification information would not be known. The
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
Manufacturer’s section is a roster of manufacturers. The Product Category section lists
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
products subdivided by therapeutic classes, such as analgesics, laxatives, oxytocics, and
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
antibiotics. The Product Information section contains reprints of the package inserts for the
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
major products of manufacturers.

d. Kefauver Harris Drug Amendment (1962) a2 a2 a2 a2
ANS: a 2 A
The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 authorized the FDA to determine the safety
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
of all drugs before marketing. Later amendments and acts helped tighten FDA control and
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
ensure drug safety. The Durham Humphrey Amendment defines the kinds of drugs that cannot
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
be used safely without medical supervision and restricts their sale to prescription by a licensed
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
practitioner. The Controlled Substances Act addresses only controlled substances and their
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
categorization. The Kefauver Harris Drug Amendment ensures drug efficacy and greater drug
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
safety. Drug manufacturers are required to prove to the FDA the effectiveness of their products
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
before marketing them.

7. Meperidine (Demerol) is a narcotic with a high potential for physical and psychological
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
a2 dependency. Under which classification does this drug fall? a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
a. I
b. II
c. III
d. IV
ANS: a 2 B
Meperidine (Demerol) is a Schedule II drug; it has a high potential for abuse and may lead to
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
severe psychological and physical dependence. Schedule I drugs have high potential for abuse
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
and no recognized medical use. Schedule III drugs have some potential for abuse. Use may lead
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
to low to moderate physical dependence or high psychological dependence. Schedule IV drugs
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
have low potential for abuse. Use may lead to limited physical or psychological dependence.

8. What would the FDA do to expedite drug development and approval for an outbreak of
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
a2 smallpox, for which there is no known treatment? a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
a. List smallpox as a health orphan disease. a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
b. Omit the preclinical research phase. a2 a2 a2 a2
c. Extend the clinical research phase. a2 a2 a2 a2
d. Fast track the investigational drug. a2 a2 a2 a2
ANS: a 2 D
Once the Investigational New Drug Application has been approved, the drug can receive
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
highest priority within the agency, which is called fast tracking. A smallpox outbreak would
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
become a priority concern in the world. Orphan diseases are not researched in a priority
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
manner. Preclinical research is not omitted. Extending any phase of the research would mean a
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
longer time to develop a vaccine. The FDA must ensure that all phases of the preclinical and
a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a2
clinical research phase have been completed in a safe manner.
