|

a. A |“right |time” |problem
b. A |“right |dose” |problem
c. A |“right |route” |problem

MULTIPLE |CHOICE

1. A |patient |is |receiving |two |different |drugs, |which, |at |their |current |dose |forms |and |dosages, |are |both |absorbed
identical |amounts. |Which |term |best |denotes |that |the |drugs |have |the |same |absorption |rates?
|

a. Equivalent
b. Synergistic
c. Compatible
d. Bioequivalent
ANS: | D
Two |drugs |absorbed |into |the |circulation |at |the |same |amount |(in |specific |dosage |forms) |have |the |same |b
|bioequivalent. |“Equivalent” |is |incorrect |because |the |term |“bioavailability” |is |used |to |express |the |extent |o

“Synergistic” |is |incorrect |because |this |term |refers |to |two |drugs |given |together |whose |resulting |effect |is
|effects |of |each |drug |given |alone. |“Compatible” |is |incorrect |because |this |term |is |a |general |term |used |to |ind

|not |have |a |chemical |reaction |when |mixed |(or |given, |in |the |case |of |drugs) |together.

d. Most |of |the |drug |is |inactivated |by |the |liver |before |it |reaches |the |target |area.
ANS: | C
Intravenous |injections |are |the |fastest |route |of |absorption. |The |intravenous |route |does |not |affect |the |num
|intravenous |route |is |not |a |slow |route |of |absorption, |and |the |intravenous |route |does |not |cause |inactivati

c. They |are |altered |by |the |presence |of |food |in |the |stomach.
d. They |exert |their |effects |while |circulating |in |the |bloodstream.
ANS: | A
Drugs |given |by |the |parenteral |route |bypass |the |first-pass |effect, |but |they |still |must |be |absorbed |into |cells |an
|exert |their |effects. |Enteral |drugs |(drugs |taken |orally), |not |parenteral |drugs, |decrease |blood |flow |to |the |sto

|presence |of |food |in |the |stomach. |Parenteral |drugs |must |be |absorbed |into |cells |and |tissues |from |the |circula
