BIO391 Exam – 180 Questions | Family Medicine Drugs, Pharmacology & Clinical Orders | UConn Health

This document is a comprehensive, exam-ready pharmacology and clinical reference for BIO391 (Scribe Training / Family Medicine) at UConn Health, containing approximately 180 verified questions and answers. It focuses on high-yield medications commonly encountered in family medicine, primary care, and outpatient clinical settings, with each drug clearly paired with its generic name, drug class, and primary clinical use. The content is structured in a concise question–answer format, making it ideal for rapid memorization, clinical recall, and exam preparation. The document provides broad coverage of cardiovascular, psychiatric, endocrine, gastrointestinal, respiratory, neurological, infectious disease, and pain-management medications. Drug classes include antihypertensives (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics), antidepressants and anxiolytics (SSRIs, SNRIs, benzodiazepines, atypical antipsychotics), hypoglycemic agents for type II diabetes, antibiotics, anticoagulants, statins, bronchodilators, proton pump inhibitors, NSAIDs, opioids, anticonvulsants, and hormone therapies. Emphasis is placed on real-world prescribing relevance rather than purely theoretical pharmacology. In addition to medications, the document includes clinically relevant diagnostic and laboratory orders commonly used in family medicine practice, such as fatigue workups, thyroid disease panels, diabetes monitoring labs, and metabolic screening tests. This integration of pharmacology with diagnostic reasoning makes the resource particularly valuable for students training in clinical documentation, patient encounters, and medical scribing environments. This resource is especially relevant for undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students enrolled in Medical Scribe programs, Clinical Experience courses, Health Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Nursing, Pre-Med, Pre-PA, Pre-NP, and Allied Health programs. It is also well suited for students preparing for clinical practicums, scribe certification exams, pharmacology assessments, or those seeking a high-yield reference for medication recognition and clinical workflow in family medicine settings.
