Finals Exam (Qns & Ans)
2025
General Instructions
1. Read All Questions Carefully: Make sure you understand each question.
2. Time Management: You have a specific amount of time to complete the exam.
Keep an eye on the clock and pace yourself.
3. Allowed Materials: Only use materials that are explicitly allowed. Unauthorized
materials can lead to disqualification.
4. ANS Format: Follow the required format for your ANS. For example, multiple-
choice questions might need you to select the best ANS, while essay questions
require detailed responses.
5. Academic Integrity: Adhere to the university's honor code. Any form of cheating or
plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
6. Technical Requirements: Ensure your computer and internet connection are
stable. For online exams, you might need a webcam and microphone for proctoring
purposes.
7. Submission: Submit your ANS before the time expires. Late submissions might
not be accepted.

,1. Which of the following factors can significantly influence
drug bioavailability?
- A) Drug formulation
- B) Patient age
- C) Route of administration
- D) All of the above
- Correct ANS: D
- Rationale: All these factors can affect how much and how
quickly a drug reaches systemic circulation.
2. Which route of drug administration generally has the longest
onset of action?
- A) Intravenous
- B) Intramuscular
- C) Oral
- D) Subcutaneous
- Correct ANS: C
- Rationale: Oral medications usually take longer to be
absorbed than medications administered via injection.

,3. What is the primary organ responsible for drug metabolism?
- A) Kidneys
- B) Liver
- C) Lungs
- D) Intestines
- Correct ANS: B
- Rationale: The liver is the primary site for the metabolism
of many drugs due to its enzyme systems.
4. Which pharmacokinetic phase involves the elimination of the
drug from the body?
- A) Absorption
- B) Distribution
- C) Metabolism
- D) Excretion
- Correct ANS: D
- Rationale: Excretion is the process through which drugs and
their metabolites are removed from the body.
5. In pharmacodynamics, what does 'agonist' refer to?
©2024/2025
, - A) A drug that blocks receptors
- B) A drug that enhances the effect of another drug
- C) A drug that activates receptors
- D) A drug that prevents side effects
- Correct ANS: C
- Rationale: An agonist is a substance that initiates a
physiological response when it binds to a receptor.
True/False Questions
6. True or False: Drug half-life is the time it takes for the plasma
concentration of a drug to reduce by half.
- Correct ANS: True
- Rationale: This definition is accurate; half-life helps
determine dosing intervals for medications.
7. True or False: Protein binding does not affect the drug's
therapeutic effects.
- Correct ANS: False
- Rationale: Protein binding can significantly influence the
drug's efficacy and safety since only unbound drug molecules can
exert therapeutic effects.
