what does a STAT order mean? - correct answer -a drug needed immediately and given only once
what information does the overdosage section of the labeling provide? - correct answer -signs,
symptoms and treatment of acute overdoses
types of drug-drug interactions: - correct answer -duplication, opposition (antagonism) and alteration
(p.51)
tolerance vs resistance - correct answer -tolerance is the diminished response to a drug; resistance is
the cells ability to resist the effects of the drug on them.
abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) - correct answer -the process by which applicants must
scientifically demonstrate to the FDA that their generic product is bioequivalent to or performs in the
same way as the innovator drug, no duplicate testing (p. 75)
the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 - correct answer --A.K.A. Drug Price Competition and Patent Restoration
Act
-made it easier to bring generic drugs to the market by requiring the FDA to only look at bioavailability

four basic transport mechanisms - correct answer -passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active

efficacy: magnitude of maximal response that can be received from a drug
*efficacy is almost always more important that potency* (p. 106)
the four phases of clinical trials - correct answer -phases I-IV (P. 124-126)
Key Parts Of A Clinical Paper (5) - correct answer -Abstract, Introduction, methods, results,
discussion/conclusions (p. 128-129)
reliability vs validity - correct answer -reliability = consistency and validity = accuracy
(p. 138; 143)
sampling error vs selection bias - correct answer -sampling error is unbiased and is randomly chosen
from the population.
selection bias is when the sample was specifically chosen based on particular characteristics (p.142-143)
independent vs dependent variable - correct answer -An independent variable is the one that influences
the variation. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment
(the result of applying the independent variable).
Drug Utilization Review (DUR) programs - correct answer --involve retrospective monitoring of
physicians' prescribing patterns
-more than 90% of HMOs require DURs
-nowadays mostly monitors cost savings (p. 181)
