1. Polypharmacy is a primary predictor for any undesired or
unwanted consequences that can occur because of taking
medications. Which is of the following is the correct term for
these undesired or unwanted consequences?
1. Adverse drug reaction (ADR)
2. Prototype drug
3. Adverse drug event
4. Schedule II drugs
1. Answer: 1
Feedback
1.
ADR is a reaction attributed to the drug. It is any undesired or
unwanted consequence that occurs because of taking
medications.
2.
,A prototype drug is the original drug model from which other
medications in a pharmacological class have been developed.
3.
An adverse drug event is any event that occurs during treatment
and is not necessarily caused by the drug itself. It is a side effect
that was revealed after usage of the drug and is reported by the
patient or the doctor who has personal experience with the
event.
4.
Schedule II drugs are drugs with abuse potential, and psychic
and physical dependence liability.
2. Which of the following is related to the incidence of gastric
acidity declining with age
because of decreased intestinal blood flow?
1. Drug metabolism
2. Drug distribution
3. Drug absorption
4. Drug elimination
2. Answer: 3
,Feedback
1.
Drug metabolism is affected with decreased liver size and blood
flow, which can result in decreased first-pass metabolism. Drug
activity for some medications is prolonged because drugs are
metabolized and eliminated more slowly.
2.
Drug distribution is affected by aging, particularly in individuals
of smaller body size, those who have decreased body water, and
those with higher body fat.
3.
Drug absorption is affected when gastric acidity declines with
age because of decreased intestinal blood flow and fewer
absorbing cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is also
affected with the presence of food and other drugs in the
stomach at the same time.
4.
Drug elimination is affected by the changes in the kidney
functions.
3. Biotransformation means chemical alteration of things such as
nutrients, amino acids, toxins, and drugs in the body. In which
organ does biotransformation occur?
, 1. Intestines
2. Liver
3. Pancreas
4. Bile
3. Answer: 2
Feedback
1.
The intestines are vital organs in the GI tract of our digestive
system and their functions are to digest food and enable the
nutrients released from that food to enter the bloodstream.
2.
Biotransformation occurs in all body tissues, but primarily in the
liver, where enzymatic activity alters and detoxifies the drug and
prepares it for excretion.
3.
The pancreas plays an essential role in converting the food we
eat into fuel for the body's cells.
4.
The bile is critical for digestion and absorption of fats and fat-
soluble vitamins in the small intestine.
