QUESTIONS & VERIFIED CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADED A+.
Which of the following statements correctly describes
hydromorphone? - <<<Answers>>>It is more potent and has
lower dosages requirements than morphine
What effects do cholinesterase inhibitors have on sinoatrial
and atrioventricular nodes? - <<<Answers>>>Vagotonic How
do "mixed acting" sympathomimetic drugs work? -
<<<Answers>>>They directly activate the release of
norepinephrine while also indirectly causing a release of
norepinephrine
After the first dose of warfarin how much time is required for
therapeutic effects to begin? - <<<Answers>>>5 to 7 days
Which of the following statements accurately describes
centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxants? -
<<<Answers>>>Most evidence does not support their
effectiveness
Drug acts as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor -
<<<Answers>>>Nintedanib
,Drug-drug interactions between first generation antihistamines
and monoamine oxidase and appropriate prescribing protocol
of first generation antihistamines to
patients who take MAOIs? - <<<Answers>>>MAOIs can
exacerbate anticholinergic side effects of first generation
antihistamines and should not be used during treatment or
within 2 weeks of MAOI discontinuation, dry eye, urinary
retention, constipation, cognitive disturbances, peptic ulcer
disease
In the stomach, histamine is released by what -
<<<Answers>>>Enterochromaffin-like cells
When does tumor flare occur and associated symptoms? -
<<<Answers>>>During the initial phase of hormonal
treatment and symptoms include a sudden and painful increase
in the tumor size, rash, low grade fever, hypercalcemia, bone
pain, and increase in the tumor marker levels
Potential adverse side effect of autonomic-anticholinergic
agents in older males? - <<<Answers>>>Benign prostatic
hypertrophy due to worsening urinary retention
FDA-approved drug for Alzheimer's disease -
<<<Answers>>>Donepezil

alternative for patients with a high risk of relapse or who have
a history of poor therapy adherence
How many muscarinic receptors have been identified? -
<<<Answers>>>5
Dosage considerations of histamine-2 receptor antagonists
relative to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier? -
<<<Answers>>>Dosage adjustments of these agents in
patients with renal insufficiency are recommended to reduce
adverse effects as CNS symptoms, H2RA use may be limited
due to tolerance that develops to gastric antisecretory
effects—take as needed versus daily
