How to Use This Guide (High-Yield Workflow)
1. Start each section with the Prototype/Go-To drugs + decision rules (these drive most test
stems).
2. Then do the mini clinical vignettes; force yourself to pick the drug + dose + duration + key
counseling line.
3. Memorize the “trap” contraindications (pregnancy, pediatrics, renal disease, severe
beta-lactam allergy, QT/serotonergic interactions).
4. Finish with the Rapid Self-Test + prescription templates and re-write 10 prescriptions from
memory.
One-Page Must-Know Checklist (If You’re Short on Time)
Topical steroid potency ladder + where you can/can’t use Class I/II (face/groin/axilla
rules) and duration limits.
Acne: topical retinoid + benzoyl peroxide logic; oral doxy/mino only as adjunct; isotretinoin
= iPLEDGE + teratogen.
Psoriasis: high-potency topical steroid + vitamin D analog (calcipotriene) prototypes;
counseling for chronic relapsing course.

Quiz 2 Blueprint + Outcomes Map
Use this front section as your 'what will be tested' checklist. It aligns each quiz block to the
course SLOs and the module objectives provided in the lecture/handouts.
Quiz blueprint (40 questions, 50 minutes):
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) - what the test is trying to prove
SLO6 (legal Rx writing): complete prescription elements; correct route, quantity, refills,
instructions.
SLO5 (counseling): adherence, expectations, adverse effects, OTC/herb/supplement
interactions.
SLO4 (minimize reactions/interactions): DDI red flags, vulnerable populations,
contraindications.
SLO3 (monitoring): what to check, when to re-evaluate, and what triggers
escalation/referral.
SLO2 (choose drug wisely): efficacy, safety, cost, expected outcomes, comorbid conditions.
SLO1 (PK/PD + patient characteristics): age, pregnancy/lactation, immunocompromised,
organ dysfunction, culture/gender considerations.
Module Outcomes (MO) focus for Quiz 2
Module 5: Antimicrobials (biggest block) - pick correct drug, duration, and
counseling/monitoring for common infections.
Module 4: Recognize key terms/concepts for drugs used in women's health and
GI/antiemetics; write a prescription for a skin disease.
Module 3: Recognize key terms/concepts for drugs used for skin disease and immune
disease.
