,Section A - Prescribed
Q1.
A patient with chronic heart failure is prescribed digoxin and furosemide. Which
laboratory value, if present, would most significantly increase the risk of digoxin toxicity?
A. Serum potassium 3.0 mEq/L B. Serum sodium 135 mEq/L
C. Serum creatinine 1.0 mg/dL D. Serum calcium 9.0 mg/dL
Correct: A - Serum potassium 3.0 mEq/L
Rationale:Hypokalemia (K < 3.5 mEq/L) sensitizes the myocardium to digoxin, increasing
toxicity risk. Furosemide causes potassium loss, making this combination dangerous. Normal
sodium, creatinine, and calcium do not directly enhance digoxin toxicity.
Q2.
Which statement best describes the mechanism of action of angiotensin II receptor
blockers (ARBs) in managing hypertension?
A. They inhibit the conversion of angiotensin B. They block the binding of angiotensin II to
I to angiotensin II. AT1 receptors.
C. They increase the degradation of D. They stimulate aldosterone release from
bradykinin. the adrenal cortex.
Correct: B - They block the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors.
Rationale:ARBs selectively block AT1 receptors, preventing angiotensin II-mediated
vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion. ACE inhibitors inhibit the conversion of
angiotensin I to II, while ARBs do not affect bradykinin degradation, which is an ACE inhibitor
effect.
Q3.
A patient on warfarin has an INR of 5.2 and exhibits signs of bleeding. Which intervention
is most appropriate?
A. Administer vitamin K orally B. Administer fresh frozen plasma
C. Administer protamine sulfate D. Hold the next dose and monitor INR
Correct: B - Administer fresh frozen plasma
Page 3
, Section A - Prescribed
Rationale: In the presence of active bleeding, urgent reversal with vitamin K (IV) and clotting
factors (fresh frozen plasma or prothrombin complex concentrate) is required. Oral vitamin K
acts too slowly; protamine reverses heparin, not warfarin; holding the dose alone is
insufficient.
Q4.
Which drug class is first-line for the treatment of opioid use disorder in a patient who is
currently abstinent from opioids?
A. Methadone B. Buprenorphine
C. Naltrexone D. Naloxone
Correct: C - Naltrexone
Rationale:Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist that blocks the euphoric effects of opioids and is
used for maintenance in abstinent patients. Methadone and buprenorphine are
agonists/partial agonists used for withdrawal management and maintenance, but they are
also opioid-dependent treatments. Naloxone is for emergency overdose reversal.
Q5.
A patient is prescribed a sulfonylurea for type 2 diabetes. Which instruction is essential to
prevent hypoglycemia?
A. Take the medication with meals B. Skip meals if blood glucose is normal
C. Increase fluid intake D. Avoid all carbohydrates
Correct: A - Take the medication with meals
Rationale:Sulfonylureas stimulate insulin release; taking with meals ensures glucose
availability and reduces hypoglycemia risk. Skipping meals without adjusting dose can cause
severe hypoglycemia. Fluid intake and carbohydrate avoidance do not directly address the
insulin surge.
Q6.
A patient is taking clopidogrel and omeprazole. Which interaction is most clinically
significant?
A. Increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding B. Reduced antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel
C. Increased serum levels of omeprazole D. Decreased absorption of clopidogrel
Correct: B - Reduced antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel
