Question 1: What does a drug's therapeutic index compare?
Drug strength and tablet size
Absorption and elimination rates
Brand-name and generic prices
Effective and toxic dose ranges
Question 2: A competitive antagonist is present at a receptor. What can often overcome its effect?
Increasing agonist concentration
Increasing renal excretion
Blocking drug metabolism
Reducing receptor number
Question 3: Which pharmacokinetic process is most directly reduced by first-pass metabolism?
Plasma protein production
Systemic bioavailability
Renal filtration rate
Receptor affinity
Question 4: A drug has a half-life of eight hours. About how long does it usually take to approach steady state with regular dosing?
About 8 to 16 hours
About 2 to 4 hours
About 64 to 80 hours
About 32 to 40 hours
Question 5: A patient taking warfarin starts a medicine that inhibits its metabolism. What is the main concern?
Reduced platelet production
Increased bleeding risk
Immediate loss of kidney function
Reduced anticoagulant effect
Question 6: Why can a partial agonist reduce the effect of a full agonist at the same receptor?
It speeds the full agonist's absorption
It permanently destroys the receptors
It occupies receptors but activates them less
It converts the full agonist into an inactive drug
Question 7: A patient has reduced kidney function. Which medication property most directly suggests a need to adjust the dose?
Predominant renal elimination
Rapid absorption from the gut
Strong receptor selectivity
High oral bioavailability
Question 8: Why should a prescribed antibiotic course not be shortened without clinical advice?
Every antibiotic requires lifelong dosing
Shortening treatment always causes an allergy
Antibiotics stop working after one missed dose
The infection may not be adequately treated
