a.Lisa is researching botanical and zoologic sources of drugs to treat multiple sclerosis.She is part of a university research team that is currently experimenting with varying the biochemical composition and therapeutic effects of several possible new drugs.

• Jeffrey works for a pharmaceutical corporation. One of its new drugs looks very

promising, and Jeffrey’s company is experimenting with dosage forms for this investigational new drug. He is responsible for measuring the relationship between the physiochemical properties of the dosage form and the clinical therapeutic response.

• Micah is performing a cost–benefit analysis to compare the effectiveness of two blood

pressure medications for a health insurance company.

• Devon researches various poisons and is particularly concerned with the detection

and treatment of the effects of drugs and other chemicals in certain mammals.

• Diane and Phil have spent the past 3 years gathering family histories, legal case

reports, and current clinical data to identify possible genetic factors that influence individuals’ responses to meperidine and related drugs.

• David works on a study that is gathering data on the use of two different drugs for

the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

• Leslie’s laboratory monitors drug distribution rates between various body

compartments from absorption through excretion. Recently, her laboratory was able to suggest a positive change in the dosage regimen for an injectable drug, bringing her firm a prestigious award.

• Gregory’s research unit recently recommended two new contraindications for the use

of a newly marketed drug after discovering previously unknown biochemical and physiologic interactions of this drug with another, unrelated drug.Ch.3

• Which physiologic factor is most responsible for the differences in the

pharmacokinetic and pharmaco-dynamic behavior of drugs in neonates and adults? This study source was downloaded by 100000869267694 from CourseHero.com on 08-02-2023 16:04:09 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/115596110/Pharmacology-Quiz-1-May-2021-completeddocx/

• Infant’s stature
• Infant’s smaller weight
• Immaturity of neonatal organs
• Adult’s longer exposure to toxins
• Understanding the role of the kidney in the elimination of drugs from the body,

which laboratory test assessment is priority in evaluating kidney function?

• Albumin level
• Red blood cell count
• Creatine
• Bicarbonate
• Most drug references provide recommended pediatric dosages based on which of

the following? a. Total body water content

• Fat-to-lean mass ratio
• Renal function studies
• Body weight in kilograms
• When giving medications to older adults, the nurse will keep in mind the changes

that occur as a result of aging. Which statements regarding changes in the older patient are true? (Select all that apply.)

• The ratio of fat to water is increased.
• Gastric pH is less acidic because of reduced hydrochloric acid production.
• Protein albumin binding sites are reduced because of decreased serum protein.
• Total body water content increases as body composition changes.
• The absorptive surface area of the gastrointestinal tract is increased because of

flattening and blunting of the villi.

• Which factor would have the greatest effect on medication response in the

newborn?

• Immaturity of the organs
• Increased muscle mass
• Increased protein binding
• Less drugs enter the brain This study source was downloaded by 100000869267694 from CourseHero.com on 08-02-2023 16:04:09 GMT -05:00
