Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is not a side effect of loop diuretics?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nausea. Loop diuretics like furosemide work by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and water in the loop of Henle in the kidneys. This mechanism can lead to electrolyte imbalances, such as potassium deficits (choice
D), and volume depletion, resulting in hypotension (choice
C). Loop diuretics can also cause metabolic alkalosis (choice
A) due to loss of hydrogen ions. Nausea, however, is not a common side effect of loop diuretics.
Therefore, choice B is not a side effect of loop diuretics, making it the correct answer.
Question 2 of 5
In which of the following cases is Lansoprazole not used?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Rationale: Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid. Thalamus hypertrophy is not a condition affecting stomach acid production, making it unrelated to Lansoprazole use. A: Gastritis, B: Peptic Ulcers, and C: Zollinger-Ellison syndrome all involve excessive stomach acid secretion, hence Lansoprazole is used in these cases. Thalamus hypertrophy does not involve stomach acid issues, making it the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following drugs is associated with hepatitis as a reaction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct Answer: C (Isoniazid)
Rationale:
1. Isoniazid is known to cause drug-induced hepatitis due to its hepatotoxic effects.
2. It can lead to liver inflammation, causing hepatitis as a reaction.
3. Regular monitoring of liver function tests is essential when using isoniazid.
Summary of other choices:
A. Valproic acid: Can cause hepatotoxicity but not specifically linked to hepatitis.
B. Quinidine: Mainly known for cardiac side effects, not commonly associated with hepatitis.
D. Ethosuximide: Primarily used for treating absence seizures, not typically associated with hepatitis.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is not directly related to the drug toxicity of Ibuprofen?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Muscle wasting. Ibuprofen is primarily associated with gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, renal dysfunction, and anemia due to its effects on the stomach, kidneys, and blood. Muscle wasting is not a known direct effect of Ibuprofen toxicity. Ibuprofen is not typically linked to muscle-related issues, making choice D the correct answer.
Question 5 of 5
A drug ending in the suffix (pril) is considered a ______.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: ACE inhibitor. Drugs ending in the suffix (-pril) typically refer to ACE inhibitors, which are commonly used to treat hypertension and heart failure by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme. ACE inhibitors do not belong to the categories mentioned in the other choices.
Choice A (H) is vague and does not provide any relevant information.
Choice C (Antifungal) is incorrect as drugs ending in (-pril) are not typically used to treat fungal infections.
Choice D (Beta agonist) is also incorrect as drugs ending in (-pril) do not belong to the class of beta agonists, which are used to treat conditions like asthma and COPD.
