MULTIPLE RESPONSE

1. The listing of a drug and the amount of drug are found in which part of a prescription?
a. Superscription
b. Inscription
c. Subscription
d. Transcription (signature)
PRECISE ANSWER:-B
Reasoning :->>>The superscription directs the registered pharmacist to take the drug listed
and preparethe drug; the inscription lists the name and quantity of the drug being prescribed;
the subscriptionprovides directions to the registered pharmacist for preparing the drug; and the
transcription, or signature, is the information the registered pharmacist writes on the label as
instructions to the patient.

2. If generic substitution is permitted on a prescription:
a. drug from only one manufacturer must be given.
b. drug formulation may be changed by the registered pharmacist.
c. any manufactured brand of the drug listed may be given.
d. drug strength may be changed by the registered pharmacist.
PRECISE ANSWER:-C
Reasoning :->>>A generic substitution allows any brand of a drug to be given, but the
registered pharmacist may not change a drug formulation without specific permission from the
prescribing physician. A physician can indicate to the registered pharmacist that generic
substitution is permitted in the filling of the prescription. In such a case, the registered
pharmacist may provide any manufacturer’s version of the prescribed drug, rather than a
specific brand. However, the registered pharmacist may not change thestrength of a drug
without specific permission from the prescribing physician.

3. The study of drug, including their origin, properties, and interactions with living organisms, is
known as
a. pharmacogenetics.
b. pharmacology.
c. therapeutics.
d. toxicology.
PRECISE ANSWER:-B
Reasoning:->>>Pharmacogenetics is the study of the interrelationship of genetic differences and
drug effects. Pharmacology is the study of drug (chemicals), including their origin, properties,
and interactions with living organisms.
Therapeutics is the art of treating illness with drug. Toxicology is the study of toxic substances and
theirpharmacologic actions, including antidotes and poison control.

4. The brand name given to a drug by a particular manufacturer is known as the drug’s

,a. chemical name.
b. generic name. c.official name. d.trade name.
PRECISE ANSWER:-D
Reasoning:->>>The chemical name indicates the drug’s chemical structure. The generic name is
assignedby the United States

, Adopted Name Council and is usually based loosely on the drug’s chemical structure. The official
name isthe
name given to the generic name once a drug becomes fully approved for general use and is
admitted to the United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary. The trade name is the brand, or
proprietary, name given by a particular manufacturer. For example, the generic drug albuterol
is currently marketed by Schering-Plough as Proventil® and by GlaxoSmithKline as Ventolin®.

5. To find official information about drug (according to the FDA), you need to go to the
a. Physician’s Desk Referenceerence (PDR).
b. Basic & Clinical Pharmacology.
c. United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP-NF).
d. Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics.
PRECISE ANSWER:-C
Reasoning:->>>Because the PDR is prepared by drug manufacturers themselves, it may be
lacking in objectivity. Basic & Clinical Pharmacology covers only general pharmacologic
principles and drug classes. Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics
covers only general pharmacologicprinciples and drug classes. The USP-NF is a book of
standards containing information about drugs, dietary supplements, and medical devices. The
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)considers this book the official standard for drug
marketed in the United States.

6. Drug may be obtained from which of the following sources?
a. Plants
b. Animals
c. Minerals
d. Plants, animals, and minerals
PRECISE ANSWER:-D
Reasoning:->>>Drug may be obtained from plants (e.g., digitalis), animals (e.g., insulin), and
minerals(e.g., magnesium sulfate).

REFERENCE: p. 5

7. The branch of the U.S. government responsible for the process of approving drug for clinical use is
the
a. USAN Council.
b. FDA.
c. USP-NF.
d. PDR.
PRECISE ANSWER:-B
Reasoning:->>>The United States Adopted Name (USAN) Council is responsible for assigning a
generic name to a chemical that appears to have therapeutic use. The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is responsible for the process of approving drug for clinical use. The
process by which a chemical movesfrom the status of a promising potential drug to one fully
approved by the FDA for general clinical use is,on average, long, costly, and complex. Cost
estimates vary, but in the 1980s it took an average of 13 to 15 yearsfrom chemical synthesis to
marketing approval by the FDA, with a cost of $350 million in the United States.
The USP-NF is a book
of standards for drugs, dietary supplements, and medical devices. The PDR is a source of drug
