PHRM 2101 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS VERIFIED
100% CORRECT
List four characteristics that the following diets have in common: vegetarian diet,
Mediterranean diet, DASH diet, low carbohydrate diet, low-glycemic index diet - ✔✔1.
Emphases on whole foods
2. Focus on plant-based foods
3.healthy fat sources / low carb intake
4. Health-conscious approach
impaired insulin secretion - ✔✔Diabetes mellitus - type 2 diabetes, is a chronic disorder
characterised by high blood sugar levels. It can lead to damage of the blood vessels and nerves,
including those with erectile dysfunction or can develop into erectile dysfunction.
hypogonadism - ✔✔the condition of insufficient secretion of hormones by the sex glands -
the testes in males or ovaries in females. In males, low levels of testosterone can contribute to
erectile dysfunction. Caused by various factors: primary testicular dysfunction or hypothalamic-
pituitary disorders
The two endocrine disorders that may contribute to erectile dysfunction - ✔✔Hypogonadism
and Diabetes Mellitus
How do medications for schizophrenia affect neurotransmitters? - ✔✔Typical antipsychotics
are dopamine antagonists
How might medications impact a person's ability to be physically active? - ✔✔Fatigue or
drowsiness: certain medications such as sedatives, antihistamines or medications used to
manage certain health conditions may cause drowsiness or fatigue as a side effect. It can make
it challenging for an individual to engage in physical activities
, Examples of sedatives - ✔✔barbiturates and benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines
(temazepam, nitrazepam, diazepam, oxazepam and alprazolam) are most used for insomnia
Medications for coordination issues/ muscle relation - ✔✔Benzodiazepines have a muscle
relaxing effect. Medications include temazepam, nitrazepam, diazepam, oxazepam and
alprazolam.
Medications for heart conditions - ✔✔Beta-blockers or medications for managing certain
heart conditions may lower heart rate or blood pressure. Beta-blockers include: opioids, cold
and flu medications (codeine)
Medications for respiratory issues - ✔✔Bronchodilators or medications for asthma include
opioids like oxycodone which can cause respiratory depression inhibiting person from breathing
properly
Medications for depression - ✔✔Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs): Amitriptyline
Tricyclics have sedative effects and interact with various receptors including GABA(A) receptors.
Orlistat MOA - ✔✔Orlistat is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs called lipase
inhibitors. It aids weight loss by inhibiting the action of pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that breaks
down dietary fats in the intestine. Blocking the activity of this enzyme reduces fewer fat and
calorie intake, and undigested fat is excreted in the stool. Orlistat is used in conjunction with a
reduced-calorie diet.
Phentermine MOA - ✔✔Sympathomimetic (stimulant) with effects similar to amphetamines,
causing an increase in norepinephrine which reduces hunger and satiety. Used as an appetite
suppressant and only short-term weight loss management due to its potential for dependency
and the development of tolerance.
too much hormone activity - ✔✔too much hormone secreted by the endocrine gland
(hypersecretion):
- reduced plasma protein binding of the hormone (too much free, biologically active hormone)
