Question 1 of 5
The following topical antifungal drugs include all EXCEPT: *
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Crotamiton. Crotamiton is not an antifungal drug; it is actually a scabicide and antipruritic agent used to treat scabies and itching. A: Tolnaftate is an antifungal commonly used to treat fungal skin infections like athlete's foot. C: Terbinafine is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the skin and nails. D: Ciclopirox is an antifungal used to treat fungal infections of the nails and skin.
Question 2 of 5
A 75 year old man is suffering from benign prostatic hypertrophy and is being * treated with terazosin. Which of the following adverse reaction would be expected taking this drug?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Orthostatic hypotension. Terazosin is an alpha-1 blocker commonly used to treat BPH. It can cause vasodilation, leading to a drop in blood pressure, especially when standing up suddenly, resulting in orthostatic hypotension. This is because terazosin relaxes smooth muscle in blood vessels, causing dilation and blood pooling in the extremities. Erectile dysfunction (A) is not a common side effect of terazosin. GI distress (C) is less likely because terazosin does not directly affect the gastrointestinal system. Gynecomastia (D) is not a typical side effect of terazosin since it does not impact hormone levels significantly.
Question 3 of 5
Intravenous furosemide is an alternative potent diuretic to Mannitol in the * treatment of the following condition:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: Mannitol is typically used for cerebral edema due to its osmotic diuretic properties that reduce intracranial pressure. Furosemide is a loop diuretic commonly used for conditions like pulmonary edema. Therefore, intravenous furosemide is an alternative potent diuretic to Mannitol in the treatment of cerebral edema. Summary: A: Cardiac edema - Loop diuretics like furosemide are commonly used in cardiac edema, not Mannitol. C: Cirrhotic edema - Loop diuretics are used in cirrhotic edema, but Mannitol is not typically indicated. D: Pulmonary edema - Furosemide is commonly used in pulmonary edema, but Mannitol is not indicated for this condition.
Question 4 of 5
Desmopressin reduces urine volume in which of the following condition? *
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Desmopressin reduces urine volume in diabetes insipidus by mimicking the action of vasopressin, which is deficient in this condition. It helps to increase water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to decreased urine output. Central and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus are not directly treated with desmopressin as they involve different underlying mechanisms. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.
Question 5 of 5
The microscopic functional unit of the kidney Urinary bladder Urethra Putting it all together 19 Explain, in your own words, whether the following substances would normally be expected to be present
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Protein. In the urine, the presence of protein can indicate kidney damage or malfunction. Normally, the kidneys filter out waste products, toxins, and excess substances, but proteins are too large to pass through healthy kidney filters. If protein is found in the urine, it suggests a problem with the kidney's filtration system. This can be a sign of conditions like kidney disease or diabetes. Rationale for why the other choices are incorrect: A: Urinary bladder and urethra are not typically associated with the presence of substances like protein in urine. C: Glucose in the urine may indicate diabetes or other health issues, but it is not the most common substance to be tested for in routine urinalysis. D: Kidney dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure, not a substance present in urine.
