CIRCULATED THROUGH THE BLOODSTREAM TO SITES OF ACTION IN
VARIOUS BODY TISSUES
PROTOTYPES - accurate answers-INDIVIDUAL DRUGS THAT REPRESENT
GROUPS OF DRUGS
GENERIC DRUG NAMES - accurate answers-RELATED TO THE CHEMICAL OR
OFFICIAL NAME AND IS INDEPENDENT OF THE MANUFACTURER.
OFTEN INDICATES DRUG GROUP
TRADE OR BRAND NAME - accurate answers-DESIGNATED AND PATENTED
BY THE MANUFACTURER.

THERAPY, INCLUDING COSTS OF PURCHASING, DISPENSING, STORAGE,
ADMINISTRATION, LABORATORY AND OTHER TESTS USED TO MONITOR
PATIENT RESPONSES AND LOSSES DUE TO EXPIRATION
SCHEDULE I DRUGS - accurate answers-DRUGS THAT ARE NOT APPROVED
FOR MEDICAL USE AND HAVE HIGH ABUSE POTENTIALS
FLUNITRAZEPAM(ROHYPNOL)
GHB
HEROIN
LSD
MARIJUANA
ECSTASY

HAVE HIGH ABUSE POTENTIALS
OPIOID ANALGESICS
--CODEINE, HYDROMORPHONE(DILAUDID), METHADONE, MORPHINE,
OXYCODONE
CNS STIMULANTS
-COCAINE, METHAMPHETAMINE;BARBITUATE SEDATIVE HYPNOTICS
SCHEDULE III - accurate answers-DRUGS WITH LESS POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE
THAN THOSE IN SCHEDULES I AND II BUT ABUSE MAY LEAD DEPENDANCE
-ANDROGENS AND ANABOLIC STEROIDS, KETAMINE, SOME CNS
STIMULANTS, MIXTURES CONTAINING SMALL AMTS OF CONTROLLED
SUBSTANCES(CODEINE)
SCHEDULE IV - accurate answers-DRUGS WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR
ABUSE
-BEZODIAZEPINES
--DIAZEPAM, LORAZEPAM, TEMAZEPAM
OTHER SEDATIVE HYPNOTICS AND SOME PRESCRIPTION APPETITE
SUPPRESSANTS(PHENTERAMINE)
SCHEDULE V - accurate answers-PRODUCTS CONTAINING MODERATE AMTS
OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES--MAY BE DISPENSED BY A PHARMACIST
W/O A PRESCRIPTION WITH SOME RESTRICTIONS
-LOMOTIL
-ATROPINE
PROTOPLASM - accurate answers-COMPRISES THE INTERNAL
ENVIRONMENT OF BODY CELLS, IS COMPOSED OF WATER,
ELECTROLYTES(K, MG, PHOSPHATES, SULFATES, BICARB),PROTEINS, LIPIDS
AND CARBOHYDRATES
WATER - accurate answers-MAKES UP TO 70-85% OF MOST
CELLS,CELLULAR ENZYMES, ELECTROLYTES AND OTHER CHEMICALS ARE
DISSOLVED OR SUSPENDED IN WATER
, ELECTROLYTES - accurate answers-PROVIDE CHEMICALS FOR CELLULAR
REACTIONS AND ARE REQUIRED FOR SOME PROCESSES(TRANSMISSION OF
IMPULSES IN NERVE AND MUSCLE CELLS)
PROTEINS - accurate answers-CONSIST OF PHYSICAL PROTEINS THAT FORM
THE STRUCTURE OF CELLS AND CHEMICAL PROTEINS THAT FUNCTION
MAINLY AS ENZYMES WITHIN THE CELL
LIPIDS - accurate answers-MAINLY PHOSPHOLIPIDS AND CHOLESTEROL,
FORM THE MEMBRANES THAT SEPERATE STRUCTURES INSIDE THE CELL
AND THE CELL ITSELF FROM SURROUNDING CELLS AND BODY FLUIDS
CARBOHYDRATES - accurate answers-PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN CELL
NUTRITION. GLUCOSE IS PRESENT IN EXTRACELLULAR FLUID AND IS
READILY AVAILABLE TO SUPPLY THE CELL'S NEED FOR ENERGY. A SMALL
AMT IS STORED AS GLYCOGEN WHICH CAN BE TRANSFORMED TO GLUCOSE
WHEN NEEDED.
NUCLEUS - accurate answers-REGULATES THE TYPES AND AMTS OF
PROTEINS, ENZYMES AND OTHER SUBSTANCES TO BE PRODUCED
PHARMACOKINETICS - accurate answers-INVOLVES THE DRUG MOVEMENT
THROUGH THE BODY TO REACH SITES OF ACTION, METABOLISM, AND
EXCRETION
ABSORPTION - accurate answers-IS THE PROCESS THAT OCCURS FROM THE
TIME A DRUG ENTERS THE BODY TO THE TIME IT ENTERS THE
BLOODSTREAM TO BE CIRCULATED
ORAL DRUGS - accurate answers-MUST BE SWALLOWED , DISSOLVED IN
GASTRIC FLUID AND DELIVERED TO THE SMALL INTESTINE BEFORE THEY
ARE ABSORBED.
LIQUID MEDICATIONS - accurate answers-ABSORBED FASTER THAN
TABLETS OR CAPSULES BECAUSE THEY NEED NOT BE DISSOLVED
INJECTION - accurate answers-SUB Q OR IM USUALLY ABSORB MORE
RAPIDLY THAN ORAL DRUGS BECAUSE THEY MOVE DIRECTLY FROM THE
