Safety Pharmacology Across the Lifespan Questions
Question 1 of 5
Beta-blocker-induced adverse effects include all of the following EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following hypnotic drugs is used intravenously as an anesthetic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
The mechanism of action of antiseizure drugs is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Antiseizure drugs work through multiple mechanisms to reduce neuronal excitability and prevent seizures. Enhancement of GABAergic transmission increases inhibition, diminution of excitatory glutamatergic transmission reduces overstimulation, and modification of ionic conductance (e.g., sodium or calcium channels) stabilizes neuronal membranes. Since all these mechanisms are employed by various antiseizure drugs, the correct answer is 'all of the above.'
Question 4 of 5
The antiseizure drug, which induces hepatic microsomal enzymes, is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
Indicate an irreversible inhibitor of GABA aminotransferase (GABA-T):
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
