James M. Ritter: Rang & Dale's Pharmacology 9th Edition, Test Bank
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. What Is The Primary Focus Of Pharmacology?
A. The Study Of Disease Processes
B. The Study Of Drug Interactions With Living Systems
C. The Formulation Of Pharmaceutical Products
D. The Management Of Patient Care
ANSWER: B.
Pharmacology Is The Branch Of Science Concerned With The Study Of Drug Actions On
Biological Systems. It Encompasses Understanding How Drugs Interact With Biological
Systems To Affect Function, Including Mechanisms Of Action, Therapeutic Effects, And
Side Effects.
2. Which Of The Following Best Defines A 'Drug' In Pharmacology?
A. Any Substance Used In The Diagnosis, Cure, Mitigation, Treatment, Or
Prevention Of Disease
B. Only Synthetic Substances Designed In Laboratories
C. Natural Substances With No Therapeutic Use
D. Substances That Alter The Structure Of DNA
ANSWER: A.
,In Pharmacology, A Drug Is Defined As Any Chemical Substance That, When
Administered To A Living Organism, Produces A Biological Effect. This Includes
Substances Used To Diagnose, Cure, Mitigate, Treat, Or Prevent Diseases.
3. What Are The Primary Targets Through Which Most Drugs Exert Their Effects?
A. DNA And RNA
B. Lipids And Carbohydrates
C. Proteins Such As Receptors, Enzymes, Ion Channels, And Transporters
D. Vitamins And Minerals
ANSWER: C.
Most Drugs Exert Their Effects By Interacting With Specific Proteins In The Body,
Including Receptors, Enzymes, Ion Channels, And Transporters. These Interactions Can
Modulate Physiological Processes, Leading To Therapeutic Effects.
4. Which Of The Following Statements About Receptors Is TRUE?
A. All Drugs Act Through Receptors
B. Receptors Are Only Found On The Cell Surface
C. Receptors Are Specific Protein Molecules That Drugs Bind To, Initiating A
Response
D. Receptors Are Non-Specific Binding Sites For All Chemicals
ANSWER: C.
Receptors Are Specific Proteins That Recognize And Bind To Particular Molecules
(Ligands), Such As Drugs, Leading To A Biological Response. They Can Be Located On
The Cell Surface Or Within Cells.
5. What Is The Term For The Study Of How The Body Affects A Drug Over Time?
A. Pharmacodynamics
B. Pharmacokinetics
C. Pharmacogenomics
, D. Toxicology
ANSWER: B.
Pharmacokinetics Involves The Study Of How The Body Absorbs, Distributes,
Metabolizes, And Excretes Drugs. It Describes The Time Course Of Drug Concentrations
In The Body.
6. Which Process Describes The Movement Of A Drug From Its Site Of Administration
Into The Bloodstream?
A. Distribution
B. Metabolism
C. Absorption
D. Excretion
ANSWER: C.
Absorption Is The Process By Which A Drug Enters The Bloodstream From Its Site Of
Administration. The Rate And Extent Of Absorption Can Influence The Onset And
Intensity Of The Drug's Effect.
7. What Is The Main Focus Of Pharmacodynamics?
A. The Genetic Factors Influencing Drug Response
B. The Movement Of Drugs Within The Body
C. The Biochemical And Physiological Effects Of Drugs And Their Mechanisms Of
Action
D. The Economic Aspects Of Drug Therapy
ANSWER: C.
Pharmacodynamics Studies How Drugs Affect The Body, Including The Mechanisms By
Which Drugs Exert Their Effects, The Relationship Between Drug Concentration And
Effect, And The Drug's Therapeutic And Toxic Effects.
