Medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed intramuscularly (IM) to create a
storage reservoir of the drug. Storage reservoirs:
1. Assure that the drug will reach its intended target tissue
2. Are the reason for giving loading doses
3. Increase the length of time a drug is available and active
4. Are most common in collagen tissues - CORRECT ANSWERS-3. Increase the length
of time a drug is available and active
Azithromycin dosing requires that the first day's dosage be twice those of the other
4 days of the prescription. This is considered a loading dose. A loading dose:
1. Rapidly achieves drug levels in the therapeutic range
2. Requires four- to five-half-lives to attain
3. Is influenced by renal function
4. Is directly related to the drug circulating to the target tissues - CORRECT
ANSWERS-1. Rapidly achieves drug levels in the therapeutic range
The ailment that generates the greatest over-the-counter annual drug sales is:
,1. Constipation
2. Cough and colds
3. Heartburn
4. Acute and chronic pain - CORRECT ANSWERS-2. Cough and colds
The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act, which is part of the 2006 U.S. Patriot Act:
1. Requires all providers to screen their patients for methamphetamine use
2. Restricts the prescribing of amphetamines to U.S. citizens
3. Requires a prescription be written for all methamphetamine precursors in all states
4. Restricts the sales of drugs that contain methamphetamine precursors, including a
daily and 30-day limit on sales - CORRECT ANSWERS-4. Restricts the sales of drugs
that contain methamphetamine precursors, including a daily and 30-day limit on sales
When prescribing a tetracycline or quinolone antibiotic it is critical to instruct the
patient:
1. Not to take their regularly prescribed medications while on these antibiotics
2. Regarding the need for lots of acidic foods and juices, such as orange juice, to
enhance absorption

4. That there are no drug interactions with these antibiotics - CORRECT ANSWERS-3.
Not to take antacids while on these medications, as the antacid decreases absorption
Factors that place a patient at risk of developing an antimicrobial-resistant organism
include:
1. Age over 50 years
2. School attendance
3. Travel within the U.S.
4. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials - CORRECT ANSWERS-4. Inappropriate use of
antimicrobials
, Infants and young children are at higher risk of developing antibiotic-resistant infections
due to:
1. Developmental differences in pharmacokinetics of the antibiotics in children
2. The fact that children this age are more likely to be in daycare and exposed to
pathogens from other children
3. Parents of young children insisting on preventive antibiotics so they don't miss work
when their child is sick
4. Immunosuppression from the multiple vaccines they receive in the first 2 years of life
- CORRECT ANSWERS-2. The fact that children this age are more likely to be in
daycare and exposed to pathogens from other children
Providers should use an antibiogram when prescribing. An antibiogram is:
1. The other name for the Centers for Disease Control guidelines for prescribing
antibiotics
2. An algorithm used for prescribing antibiotics for certain infections
3. The reference also known as the Pink Book, published by the Centers for Disease
Control
4. A chart of the local resistance patterns to antibiotics developed by laboratories -
CORRECT ANSWERS-4. A chart of the local resistance patterns to antibiotics
developed by laboratories
There is often cross-sensitivity and cross-resistance between penicillins and
cephalosporins because:
1. Renal excretion is similar in both classes of drugs.
2. When these drug classes are metabolized in the liver they both produce resistant
enzymes.
3. Both drug classes contain a beta-lactam ring that is vulnerable to beta-lactamase-
producing organisms.
4. There is not an issue with cross-resistance between the penicillins and
cephalosporins. - CORRECT ANSWERS-3. Both drug classes contain a beta-lactam
ring that is vulnerable to beta-lactamase-producing organisms.
