Therapeutic serum level for Tegretol (carbamazepine) is:
A. 1–4 mcg/mL
B. ✅5–12 mcg/mL ✅
C. 15–25 mcg/mL
D. 20–40 mcg/mL
Rationale: Carbamazepine therapeutic range is generally 5–12 mcg/mL to balance efficacy and
toxicity.
Therapeutic serum level for digoxin (Lanoxin) is:
A. 0.1–0.4 ng/mL
B. 2.5–4 ng/mL
C. ✅0.5–2 ng/mL ✅
D. 5–10 ng/mL
Rationale: Therapeutic digoxin levels are typically 0.5–2 ng/mL (narrow therapeutic index).
Therapeutic peak levels for gentamicin (Garamycin) are:
A. 1–3 mcg/mL
B. ✅5–10 mcg/mL ✅
C. 15–20 mcg/mL
D. 20–30 mcg/mL
Rationale: Traditional peak target for gentamicin is 5–10 mcg/mL (depends on dosing regimen).
Therapeutic serum level for phenytoin (Dilantin) is:
A. 2–5 mcg/mL
B. ✅10–20 mcg/mL ✅
C. 25–40 mcg/mL
D. 0.5–3 mcg/mL
Rationale: Phenytoin therapeutic range is ~10–20 mcg/mL to prevent seizures while minimizing
toxicity.
Therapeutic serum level for theophylline is:
A. 0.5–2 mcg/mL
B. ✅10–20 mcg/mL ✅
C. 30–50 mcg/mL
D. 25–40 mcg/mL
, ESTUDYR
Rationale: Theophylline therapeutic range is usually 10–20 mcg/mL; levels >20 increase toxicity
risk.
Therapeutic peak levels for tobramycin (Nebcin) are:
A. 1–3 mcg/mL
B. ✅5–10 mcg/mL ✅
C. 15–25 mcg/mL
D. 25–35 mcg/mL
Rationale: Tobramycin peak ranges are similar to gentamicin — about 5–10 mcg/mL depending
on regimen.
Which best summarizes the Pyramid to Success for study?
A. Passive reading only
B. Rote memorization
C. ✅Control, structured study plan, positive attitude ✅
D. Night-before cramming
Rationale: Effective preparation combines control (organisation), structured planning, and a
positive mindset.
Which is the correct sequence of Maslow’s Hierarchy (bottom → top)?
A. Self-esteem → Love → Physiological → Safety
B. Safety → Physiological → Self-actualization → Love
C. ✅Physiological → Safety → Love/Belonging → Self-Esteem → Self-Actualization ✅
D. Love → Physiological → Safety → Self-actualization
Rationale: Maslow’s pyramid starts with physiological needs, then safety, social, esteem, and
self-actualization.
Which are basic physiological needs for patient care priority?
A. Education and family support
B. Mobility and recreation
C. ✅Airway, respiratory effort, heart rate/rhythm/contractility, nutrition, elimination ✅
D. Self-esteem and spiritual growth
Rationale: Physiological needs (ABC + other vital functions) are prioritized in Maslow/triage.
Which describes Safety and Security needs?
A. Self-actualization only
B. Being liked by peers
C. ✅Protect from injury, promote sense of security, build trust ✅
D. Achievement recognition
Rationale: Safety needs focus on protection and predictable environment.
