Basic Principles of Pharmacology Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following conditions most likely delayed the oral absorption of acetaminophen in the patient who took a large dose in aqueous solution?

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 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?

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
Consumer safety became an important issue during the latter part of the twentieth century because of the
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: a and c' is correct because consumer safety rose in prominence due to increased drug use (a) and more over-the-counter (OTC) medications (c), heightening risks of misuse and adverse effects. 'b' (therapeutic properties) is a constant concern, not unique to the late twentieth century. Choosing 'a' or 'c' alone ignores the combined impact, and 'all of the above' overstates 'b's specificity. Late twentieth-century trends, like OTC expansion and drug culture shifts, drove safety focus, per historical pharmacology context.
Question 4 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 5 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.
