Question 1
A 68-year-old male with chronic kidney disease stage 4 is prescribed gentamicin for a
urinary tract infection. The nurse plans to monitor serum drug concentrations to ensure
therapeutic effectiveness while avoiding toxicity. Considering the patient's reduced renal
function, which pharmacokinetic parameter should be primarily evaluated to adjust the
dosing regimen appropriately?
A. Volume of distribution
B. Clearance
C. Bioavailability
D. Half-life
Correct Answer
Clearance
Rationale:
Renal impairment lowers drug clearance, making clearance the key parameter for dose adjustments to
prevent accumulation and toxicity.

, Question 2
A 45-year-old woman with moderate persistent asthma is prescribed inhaled albuterol
(salbutamol) via a metered‑dose inhaler (MDI) for acute symptom relief. She reports that
the medication takes several minutes to relieve her wheezing, which is longer than
expected. The nurse reviews the pharmacokinetic properties of albuterol and the
technique for MDI use. Which factor most likely contributes to the delayed onset of action
in this patient?
A. Albuterol undergoes extensive first‑pass hepatic metabolism, reducing its
bioavailability.
B. The patient's inspiratory flow rate during inhalation is insufficient to aerosolize the
medication effectively.
C. Albuterol's low lipid solubility limits its ability to penetrate airway tissues quickly.
D. High protein binding of albuterol decreases the free fraction available to act on
bronchial smooth muscle.
Correct Answer
The patient's inspiratory flow rate during inhalation is insufficient to aerosolize the
medication effectively.
Rationale:
Adequate inspiratory flow is essential for optimal aerosol deposition; insufficient flow delays drug reaching
airway receptors, prolonging onset.
