1. Concerns when treating geriatric patients with psychotherapeutic
drugs include all of the following EXCEPT:
A. Elderly persons may be more susceptible to adverse effects of
psychotherapeutic drugs.
B. Elderly persons may metabolize psychotherapeutic drugs more
slowly.
C. Elderly persons may metabolize psychotherapeutic drugs more
rapidly.
D. Elderly persons may excrete psychotherapeutic drugs more
slowly.
Correct Answer: C
,Rationale: Geriatric populations generally experience decreased
hepatic metabolism and reduced renal clearance, which prolongs
drug half-lives and increases the likelihood of adverse effects and
toxicity. Older adults are more susceptible to side effects (option A),
metabolize drugs more slowly (option B), and excrete them more
slowly (option D). Option C stating that elderly persons may
metabolize drugs more rapidly is not accurate.
2. The treatment of others equitably and distribution of
benefits/burdens fairly is known as which of the following?
A. Fidelity
B. Justice
C. Beneficence
D. Non-maleficence
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Justice refers to the fair and equitable distribution of
benefits and burdens in society. In healthcare, this principle requires
that patients be treated fairly and that resources be distributed
equitably. Fidelity refers to keeping promises and maintaining
loyalty. Beneficence refers to acting in the patient's best interest.
Non-maleficence refers to the duty to do no harm.
3. Persons who subordinate their own needs to those of others, get
others to assume responsibility for major areas of their lives, lack
,self-confidence, and may experience intense discomfort when alone
for more than a brief period of time are demonstrating characteristics
consistent with which of the following personality disorders?
A. Avoidant personality disorder
B. Passive personality disorder
C. Dependent personality disorder
D. Antisocial personality disorder
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dependent personality disorder is characterized by a
pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of, leading to
submissive and clinging behavior and fears of separation. Key
features include difficulty making everyday decisions without
excessive advice and reassurance, allowing others to assume
responsibility for major areas of life, difficulty expressing
disagreement, and feeling uncomfortable or helpless when alone.
4. The half-life of lithium is approximately:
A. 8 hours
B. 12 hours
C. 24 hours
D. 48 hours
, Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lithium's plasma half-life in individuals with normal
renal function is typically around 24 hours. This moderate half-life
allows for once- or twice-daily dosing in many cases. Even slight
changes in kidney function or fluid balance can significantly affect
lithium levels and increase the risk of toxicity, making regular
monitoring essential.
5. Fluoxetine is the SSRI with the ______ withdrawal risk, due to its
long half-life.
A. Highest
B. Lowest
C. Moderate
D. No
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fluoxetine (Prozac) has one of the longest half-lives
among SSRIs, approximately two weeks when factoring in its active
metabolite. Because the drug leaves the body gradually,
discontinuation symptoms are less pronounced compared to shorter
half-life antidepressants. This makes fluoxetine the SSRI with the
lowest withdrawal risk.
