Using tamper-proof papers for all
prescriptions written for controlled drugs

Keeping any presigned prescription pads in a
locked drawer in the clinic

Using only numbers to indicate the amount of
drug to be prescribed

Question 4. Alterations
in drug metabolism among Asians may lead to:

Slower metabolism of antidepressants,
requiring lower doses

Faster metabolism of neuroleptics, requiring
higher doses

Altered metabolism of omeprazole, requiring
higher doses

Slower metabolism of alcohol, requiring higher
doses

Question 5. Incorporating
IT into a patient encounter takes skill and tact. During the encounter, the
provider can make the patient more comfortable with the IT the provider is
using by:

Turning the screen around so the patient can
see material being recorded

Not placing the computer screen between the
provider and the patient

Both A and B

Neither A nor B

Question 6. Pharmacokinetics

True

False

Question 7. The
developmental variation in Phase I enzymes has what impact on pediatric
prescribing?

None; Phase I enzymes
are stable throughout childhood

Children should
always be prescribed lower than adult doses per weight due to low enzyme
activity until puberty

Children should always be prescribed higher
than adult doses per weight due to high enzyme activity

Prescribing dosages
will vary based on the developmental activity of each enzyme, at times
requiring lower than adult doses and at other times requiring higher than adult
doses based on the age of the child

Question 8. Drugs
that are absolutely contraindicated in lactating women include:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

Antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine

Antineoplastic drugs such as methotrexate

All of the above

Question 9. What
impact does developmental variation in renal function has on prescribing for
infants and children?

Lower doses of renally excreted
drugs may be prescribed to infants younger than six months

Higher doses of water-soluble
drugs may need to be prescribed due to increased renal excretion

Renal excretion rates have no impact on
prescribing

Parents need to be instructed on whether drugs
are renally excreted or not

Question 10. Liza
is breastfeeding her two-month-old son, and she has an infection that requires
an antibiotic. What drug factors influence the effect of the drug on the
infant?

Maternal drug levels

Half-life

Lipid solubility

All of the above
