1. Distribution of the drugs to the target tissue may be affected
2. The solubility of the drug will not match the site of absorption
3. There will be less free drug available to generate an effect.
4. Drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the kidneys - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Distribution of
drugs to target tissue may be affected.
Drugs that have a significant first pass effect:
1. Must be given by the enteral (oral) route only
2. Bypass the hepatic circulation
3. Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have
little if any desired action
4. Are converted by the liver to more active and fat-soluble forms - CORRECT ANSWER-3. Are rapidly
metabolized by the liver and may have little if any desired action
The route of excretion of a volatile drug will likely be the:

Azithromycin dosing requires that the first day's dosage be twice those of the other 4 days of the
prescription. This is considered a loading dose. A loading dose:

2. Requires four or five half lives to attain
3. Is influenced by renal function
4. Is directly related to the drug circulating to the target tissues - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Rapidly achieves
drug levels in the therapeutic range

therapeutic effect is the:
1. Minimum adverse effect level
2. Peak of action
, 3. Onset of action
4. Therapeutic range - CORRECT ANSWER-3. Onset of action
A laboratory result indicates that the peak level for a drug is above the minimum toxic concentration.
This means that the:
1. Concentration will produce therapeutic effects
2. Concentration will produce an adverse response
3. Time between doses must be shortened
4. Duration of action of the drug is too long - CORRECT ANSWER-2. Concentration will produce an
adverse response
Drugs that are receptor agonists may demonstrate what property?
1. Irreversible binding to the drug receptor site
2. Up-regulation with chronic use
3. Desensitization or down-regulation with continuous use
4. Inverse relationship between drug concentration and drug action - CORRECT ANSWER-3.
Desensitization or down-regulation with continuous use
Drugs that are receptor antagonists, such as beta blockers, may cause:
1. Down regulation of the drug receptor
2. And exaggerated response if abruptly discontinued
3. Partial blockade of the effects of agonist drugs
4. An exaggerated response to competitive drug agonsits - CORRECT ANSWER-2. An exaggerated
