According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, which drug class has the highest potential for abuse?

1. Schedule I
2. Schedule II
3. Schedule III
4. Schedule IV



After a drug is administered, it must get to the site where it exerts its action. This phase of pharmacokinetics is called

1. absorption
2. distribution
3. metabolism
4. excretion



After a drug is administered, it goes to the site of action. Soon after this, the blood level of the drug begins to decline. This decline in blood levels best represents

1. absorption
2. distribution
3. metabolism
4. allergy



If a rapid onset of action is important, which route of administration would you choose?

1. transcutaneous
2. inhaled
3. intravenous
4. oral



Which pregnancy category indicates that controlled studies in humans have not shown risk to the mother or fetus?

A. Category A
B. Category C
C. Category D
D. Category X


In the US, controlled substances are

A. drugs whose use, distribution, and prescribing is determed by the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and it ammendaments.
B. not intended for human use.
C. usually sold over the counter in low doses.
D. restricted because of risk in pregnancy.



When two or more drugs are given together and the result is smaller than you would have seen if the drugs had been given alone, you have a drug interaction known as:

A. potentiation
B. synergy
C. summation
D. antagonism



Which of the following is an adverse effect of subcutaneous administration of drugs?

1. little of the drug is absorbed by this route.
2. drug metabolism is slower.
3. drug distribution is usually a problem.
4. pain, swelling or infection could occur.

An important disadvantage of administering a drug intravenously is that

1. the potential for infection is higher than for oral administration.
2. drug metabolism is slower.
3. drug abosrption is less complete.
4. drug absorption is erratic.



Most drug metabolism occurs in the:

A. liver
B. kidney
C. intestines
D. gall bladder

Which pregnancy category indicates that either risks found in animal studies were not validated in human studies, or there were no risks found in animal studies?

A. Category A
B. Category B
C. Category C
D. Category X



Drugs may not be sold in the United States until they have been approved by:

A. The Food and Drug Administration
B. The National Institute of Drugs
C. The American Association of Pharmacists
D. The Center for Drug Control



An important advantage of administering a drug intravenously is that

1. you can control the duration of action.
2. there are fewer adverse effects.
3. the onset of action is faster than other routes.
4. first pass metabolism is enhanced.



Which pregnancy category indicates that there is evidence of human fetal risk but that use of the drug might still be acceptable if the woman is very ill and there are not safer, effective drug choices.

1. Category A
2. Category C
3. Category D
4. Category X
