Tall man lettering helps to distinguish sound-alike, look-alike drugs

(SALAD’s) from one another to avoid medication errors.
Some examples include acetaZOLAMIDE and acetoHEXAMIDE,
chlorproPAMIDE and chlorproMAZINE, clomiPRAMINE and
clomiPHENE, and dimenhyDRINATE and diphenhydrAMINE

What Pharmacokinetic Process Is Affected When Two Drugs That Are

Administered Resulted To Neutralization Reaction?

a.
Absorption

b.
Distribution

c.
Metabolism

d.
Excretion
Feedback
When an acid and a base react, neutralization occurs. The products
formed are salt and water. Salt is ionized, thus making it hard to absorb
since absorption generally favors non-ionized drugs.
The correct answer is: Absorption

d.
No Statement Is Correct
Feedback
I- History of Present Illness (HPI) is information about the current
condition of the patient
II- Past Medical History (PMH) is the total sum of patient’s health status
prior to the present problem
III- Review of Systems (ROS) is designed to uncover dysfunction and
disease with a list of questions arranged by the organ system
IV- Physical Examinaton (PE) is the process of evaluating anatomic
findings through the use of observation, palpation, percussion, and
auscultation

The correct answer is: No Statement Is Correct

I. Flashlight – aid in examination of the oropharynx and the skin

II. Tongue depressor – perform funduscopic examination
III. Otoscope – assess the tympanic membrane
IV. Sphygnomanometer – measure blood pressure
Tongue depressor is used to examine the oropharynx NOT the fundus of
the eye
Funduscopy is more commonly known as ophthalmoscopy

A Capsule Contains 1/4 Gr Of Theophylline, 1/16 Gr Of Phenobarbital

And 1/8 Gr Of Lactose. What Is The Total Mass Of The Active
Ingredients In Milligrams?

a.
20.3 Mg

b.
12.2 Mg

c.
28.4 Mg

d.
24.4 Mg
Feedback
1 gr (grain) = 65 mg
x = mg of theophylline                     y = mg of phenobarbital
¼  =  1                                                1/16  =   1
x      65                                                 y          65
x = (65)(1/4)                                        y = (65)(1/16)         
            1                                                            1
x = 16.25 mg                                       y = 4.0625 mg
 
?AI = x + y
?AI = 16.25 mg + 4.0625 mg
?AI = 20.3125 mg, answer
 
Note: C. 28.4 mg is not correct since the question asks for total mass of
active ingredients ONLY, NOT INCLUDING lactose which is an
excipient.

The correct answer is: 20.3 Mg

A Nutritional Product Is Said To Contain 14 G Of Protein, 18 G Of

Carbohydrate, And 10 G Of Fat In Each 100-Ml Serving. The Caloric
Content Of Two Servings Would Be

a.
238 Kcal

b.
436 Kcal

c.
218 Kcal

d.
476 Kcal
Feedback
14 g   x   4 kcal     =   56 kcal of protein
                 1 g
18 g   x   4 kcal     =   72 kcal of protein
                 1 g
10 g   x   9 kcal     =   90 kcal of protein
                 1 g
One serving (100 mL) will have 56 + 72 + 90 = 218 kcal
Therefore, two servings (200 mL) will have 436 kcal, answer

The correct answer is: 436 Kcal

For example, if a patient experiences sunburn after 30 minutes and uses

a sunscreen product with SPF 12, there will be 6 hours (360 minutes)
maximum protection that may be expected.
 
Time of protection  = (Number of minutes a person experiences sunburn)
(Sun protection factor of sunscreen product used)
Time of protection = 30 minutes   x   SPF 12
Time of protection = 360 minutes or 6 hours
The correct answer is: Sun Protection Factor
