Multiple selection
Identify the option that best completes the statement or answers the question.
1. Nurse practitioner prescriptive authority is regulated by:
1. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing
2. The U.S. Medical drug Enforcement Administration
3. The State Board of Nursing for each state
4. The State Board of Pharmacy
2. The benefits to the hospital client of having an Advanced Practice Registered Caregiver
(APRN) prescriber include:
1. Caregivers know more about Pharmacology than other prescribers because they
take it both in their basic nursing program and in their APRN program.
2. Caregivers care for the hospital client from a holistic approach and include
the hospital client indecision making regarding their care.
3. APRNs are less likely to prescribe narcotics and other controlled substances.
4. APRNs are able to prescribe independently in all states, whereas a physician’s
assistant needs to have a physician supervising their practice.
3. Clinical judgment in prescribing includes:
1. Factoring in the cost to the hospital client of the medication prescribed
2. Always prescribing the newest medication available for the disease process
3. Handing out medical drug samples to poor hospital clients
4. Prescribing all generic medications to cut costs
4. Criteria for choosing an effective medical drug for a disorder include:
1. Asking the hospital client what medical drug they think would work best for them
2. Consulting nationally recognized guidelines for disease management
3. Prescribing medications that are available as samples before writing a prescription
4. Following U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration guidelines for prescribing
5. Caregiver practitioner practice may thrive under health-care reform because of:
1. The demonstrated ability of caregiver practitioners to control costs and improve
hospital client outcomes

CH 2. Review of Basic Principles of Pharmacology
Multiple selection
Identify the option that best completes the statement or answers the question.
1. A hospital client’s nutritional intake and laboratory results reflect hypoalbuminemia. This is
critical toprescribing because:
1. Distribution of medical drugs to target tissue may be affected.
2. The solubility of the medical drug will not match the site of absorption.
3. There will be less free medical drug available to generate an effect.
4. Medical drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the kidneys.
2. Medical drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
1. Must be given by the enteral (oral) route only
2. Bypass the hepatic circulation
3. Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little if any desired action
4. Are converted by the liver to more active and fat-soluble forms
3. The route of excretion of a volatile medical drug will likely be the:
1. Kidneys
2. Lungs
, 3. Bile and feces
4. Skin
4. Medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed intramuscularly (IM) to create a storage
reservoir of the medical drug. Storage reservoirs:
1. Assure that the medical drug will reach its intended target tissue
2. Are the reason for giving loading doses
3. Increase the length of time a medical drug is available and active
4. Are most common in collagen tissues
5. The NP chooses to give cephalexin every 8 hours based on knowledge of the medical drug’s:
1. Propensity to go to the target receptor
2. Biological half-life
3. Pharmacodynamics
4. Safety and side effects
