Question 1 of 5

What was most likely the immediate consequence of the activation of beta receptors in the 9-year-old boy suffering from mild asthma?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 2 of 5

The concentration of active ingredients in a drug preparation

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Potency' is correct because it defines the concentration or strength of active ingredients needed for a therapeutic effect. 'Quality' is about overall standards, not concentration specifically. 'Efficacy' is the ability to produce results, not ingredient level. 'Purity' is absence of contaminants, not concentration. Potency directly relates to dosage and effect strength, a key pharmacology concept distinguishing it from the others.

Question 3 of 5

A drug with moderate potential for abuse but may have a prescription phoned to the pharmacist with five refills in 6 months

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Schedule III' is correct because these drugs (e.g., anabolic steroids) have moderate abuse potential, accepted medical use, and allow phoned prescriptions with up to five refills in six months under DEA rules. 'Schedule I' has no use. 'Schedule II' requires written prescriptions. 'Schedule IV' has lower risk but similar refill rules. Schedule III balances risk and flexibility, per pharmacology scheduling.

Question 4 of 5

All drugs with the potential for abuse, as found under the auspices of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, are followed by the DEA from manufacture to sale in a pharmacy or use by the physician.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: True' is correct because the DEA tracks controlled substances (Schedules I-V) from manufacture to sale or use under the 1970 Act to prevent diversion. 'False' overlooks this enforcement role. 'Not applicable' pads C/D. The DEA's oversight, distinct from FDA regulation, ensures compliance across the supply chain, per pharmacology law.

Question 5 of 5

A good safeguard in preventing forgery of prescriptions is to photocopy all prescriptions leaving the office.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: True' is correct because photocopying prescriptions creates a record to verify authenticity, deterring forgery per security recommendations. 'False' dismisses this effective measure. 'Not applicable' fills C/D. This practice, alongside secure pads, enhances traceability, a practical step in pharmacology settings.
