MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The listing of a medication and the amount of medication are found in which part of a prescription?
a. Superscription
b. Inscription
c. Subscription
d. Transcription (signature)
CORRECT ANSWER:-B
Rationale:->>>>The superscription directs the registered pharmacist to take the medication listed and prepare
the medication; the inscription lists the name and quantity of the medication being prescribed; the subscription
provides directions to the registered pharmacist for preparing the medication; and the transcription, or
signature, is the information the registered pharmacist writes on the label as instructions to the client.
REF: p. 7
2. If generic substitution is permitted on a prescription:
a. medication from only one manufacturer must be given.
b. medication formulation may be changed by the registered pharmacist.
c. any manufactured brand of the medication listed may be given.
d. medication strength may be changed by the registered pharmacist.
CORRECT ANSWER:-C
Rationale:->>>>A generic substitution allows any brand of a medication to be given, but the registered
pharmacist may not change a medication formulation without specific permission from the prescribing
physician. A physician can indicate to the registered pharmacist that generic substitution is permitted in the
filling of the prescription. In such a case, the registered pharmacist may provide any manufacturer’s version of
the prescribed medication, rather than a specific brand. However, the registered pharmacist may not change the
strength of a medication without specific permission from the prescribing physician.
REF: p. 8
3. The study of medication, including their origin, properties, and interactions with living organisms, is known as
a. pharmacogenetics.
b. pharmacology.
c. therapeutics.
d. toxicology.
CORRECT ANSWER:-B
Rationale:->>>>Pharmacogenetics is the study of the interrelationship of genetic differences and medication
effects. Pharmacology is the study of medication (chemicals), including their origin, properties, and interactions
with living organisms.
Therapeutics is the art of treating illness with medication. Toxicology is the study of toxic substances and their
pharmacologic actions, including antidotes and poison control.
REF: p. 3
4. The brand name given to a medication by a particular manufacturer is known as the medication’s
a. chemical name.
b. generic name. c.official name. d.trade name.
CORRECT ANSWER:-D
Rationale:->>>>The chemical name indicates the medication’s chemical structure. The generic name is assigned
by the United States
,Adopted Name Council and is usually based loosely on the medication’s chemical structure. The official name is
the
name given to the generic name once a medication becomes fully approved for general use and is admitted to
the United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary. The trade name is the brand, or proprietary, name given
by a particular manufacturer. For example, the generic medication albuterol is currently marketed by Schering-
Plough as Proventil® and by GlaxoSmithKline as Ventolin®.
REF: p. 5
5. To find official information about medication (according to the FDA), you need to go to the
a. Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR).
b. Basic & Clinical Pharmacology.
c. United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP-NF).
d. Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics.
CORRECT ANSWER:-C
Rationale:->>>>Because the PDR is prepared by medication manufacturers themselves, it may be lacking in
objectivity. Basic & Clinical Pharmacology covers only general pharmacologic principles and medication
classes. Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics covers only general pharmacologic
principles and medication classes. The USP-NF is a book of standards containing information about
medications, dietary supplements, and medical devices. The U.S. Food and Medication Administration (FDA)
considers this book the official standard for medication marketed in the United States.
REF: p. 5
6. Medication may be obtained from which of the following sources?
a. Plants
b. Animals
c. Minerals
d. Plants, animals, and minerals
CORRECT ANSWER:-D
Rationale:->>>>Medication may be obtained from plants (e.g., digitalis), animals (e.g., insulin), and minerals
(e.g., magnesium sulfate).
REF: p. 5
7. The branch of the U.S. government responsible for the process of approving medication for clinical use is the
a. USAN Council.
b. FDA.
c. USP-NF.
d. PDR.
CORRECT ANSWER:-B
Rationale:->>>>The United States Adopted Name (USAN) Council is responsible for assigning a generic
name to a chemical that appears to have therapeutic use. The U.S. Food and Medication Administration (FDA)
is responsible for the process of approving medication for clinical use. The process by which a chemical moves
from the status of a promising potential medication to one fully approved by the FDA for general clinical use is,
on average, long, costly, and complex. Cost estimates vary, but in the 1980s it took an average of 13 to 15 years
from chemical synthesis to marketing approval by the FDA, with a cost of $350 million in the United States.
The USP-NF is a book
of standards for medications, dietary supplements, and medical devices. The PDR is a source of medication
information prepared by medication manufacturers.
REF: p. 4
, 8. An orphan medication is a medication that is
a. used for rare illness.
b. used for common illness.
c. inexpensive to produce.
d. not claimed by a medication manufacturer.
CORRECT ANSWER:-A
Rationale:->>>>An orphan medication is a medication or biologic product for the diagnosis or treatment of a
rare illness. Rare is defined as a illness that affects less than 200,000 persons in the United States.
Alternatively, a medication may be designated as an orphan if used for a illness that affects more than 200,000
persons in the United States but for which there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the cost of
medication development. Orphan medication are often quite expensive to produce because they have a limited
market in which to recoup the initial investment.
REF: p. 6 | p. 7
9. Which of the following health care practitioners are authorized to write a prescription in the United States?
1. Physicians
2. Chiropractors
3. Dentists
4. Osteopaths
5. Veterinarians
a. 1 only
b. 1, 2, and 3 only
c. 1, 3, 4, and 5 only
d. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
CORRECT ANSWER:-C
Rationale:->>>>A prescription may be written by a physician, osteopath, dentist, and veterinarian and some
other practitioners but not by chiropractors.
REF: p. 7
10. Medication that are available to the general public without a prescription are known as
a. illegal medication.
b. generic medication.
c. investigational medication.
d. over-the-counter medication.
CORRECT ANSWER:-D
Rationale:->>>>Illegal medication are not legally available to the general public, and many generic medication
require a prescription. The use of investigational medication is very closely monitored, and they are not
available to the general public. Medication available to the general public without a prescription are referred to
as over-the-counter (OTC) products.
