Quizlet Pharmacology Questions for LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
Nurse practitioner practice may thrive under health-care reform because of:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Choice A is correct because studies show NPs provide cost-effective care with outcomes comparable to physicians, aligning with healthcare reform's focus on value and efficiency.
Choice B is incorrect as independent practice isn't guaranteed by reform; it depends on state laws.
Choice C is wrong because full reimbursement isn't universally promised and varies by system.
Choice D is incorrect since shifting Medicaid costs is a policy issue, not a direct driver of NP practice thriving.
Question 2 of 5
Components of a REMS program may include:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Choice D is correct because REMS programs can include medication guides (patient education), communication plans (provider awareness), and restricted distribution (controlled access), per FDA guidelines.
Choice A is incorrect alone as it's one component.
Choice B is wrong by itself because communication is just part.
Choice C is incorrect solo since restriction is only one element.
Question 3 of 5
Drugs that should be avoided in pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks include:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Choice C is correct because isotretinoin (Category X) causes severe birth defects and is avoided in pregnancy unless benefits (e.g., life-saving) outweigh risks, unlike others.
Choice A is incorrect as fluoxetine (Category
C) is often used if benefits justify it, with less severe risk.
Choice B is wrong because acetaminophen (Category
B) is generally safe in pregnancy.
Choice D is incorrect since only isotretinoin fits the strict avoidance criterion.
Question 4 of 5
Risks of off-label drug use include:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Choice D is correct because off-label use lacks FDA approval (unregulated indication), risks ADRs (untested context), and may have limited evidence, per pharmacology concerns.
Choice A is incorrect alone as it's one risk.
Choice B is wrong by itself because ADRs are just part.
Choice C is incorrect solo since evidence is only one issue.
Question 5 of 5
Pharmaceutical promotion may affect prescribing. To address the impact of pharmaceutical promotion, the Institute of Medicine recommends that:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Choice A is correct because the Institute of Medicine recommends transparency in conflicts of interest to reduce bias in prescribing education, promoting objectivity.
Choice B is incorrect as banning reps isn't a universal recommendation—disclosure is preferred.
Choice C is wrong because samples aren't tied to insurance status in this context.
Choice D is incorrect since even low-value gifts can influence, and disclosure is the broader solution.
