The most common route of administration of a drug to produce a local effect is:
Topical
Oral
Parenteral
Rectal
The two main routes of administration of a drug to provide a systemic effect are:
Topical & oral
Oral & parenteral
Parenteral & topical
Sublingual & parenteral
Which of the following is not Parenteral administration?
orally
intradermally
intramuscularly
intravenously
Pharmacokinetics considers:
The way in which the body affects a drug by the processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion
The effects of the drug on the body and the mode of drug action.
The proportion of administered drug that is available to have an effect.
The removal of the drug by the liver before it has become available for use
If gut motility is increased then:
Drug absorption is decreased
Drug absorption is increased
Drug absorption is not effected
Drug absorption does not occur in the gut
The rate of drug absorption is greatest in:
the small intestine
the large intestine
stomach
pancreas
Drug distribution may depend on tissue perfusion:
Highly vascular organs rapidly acquire a drug
Highly vascular organs acquire a drug slowly
Levels of a drug in bone may rise quickly due to its high vascularity
Tissue perfusion does not affect distribution
Most drugs and metabolites are excreted by:
kidneys
bile
lungs
perspiration, saliva & tears
Pharmacodynamics considers:
The way in which the body affects a drug
The effects of the drug on the body and the mode of drug action
Drug metabolism
How a drug is made
A drug that binds to a cell receptor and causes a response is called an:
agonist
antagonist
receptor blocker
allosteric modulation
A drug allergy occurs:
When too much drug has accumulated in an individual
When the body sees the drug as an antigen and an immune response is established against the drug
When an unwanted but predictable response to a drug occurs
When a patient has their first exposure to a drug
Factors affecting a patient’s response to a drug does not include:
Body weight i.e. the larger the individual, the larger the area for drug distribution
Body fat – A loss of body fat stores means less drug available for activity
Body fat – An increase in body fat means greater sequestering in body fat and less drug activity
The presence of certain foods
Which of the following are the three types of immunity?
Cell mediated immunity
Antibody (humoral) mediated immunity
Acquired immunity
Antigen mediated immunity
auto immunity
Four sorts of T-cells mature in the thymus gland. Spot the odd one out!:
Cytotoxic T cells
Memory T-cells
Helper T-cells
Regulatory T-cells
Immunoglobulin T-cells
Four types of T-cells mature in the thymus gland. Which one is missing from the list?
Cytotoxic T-cells
Regulatory T-cells
Helper T-cells
(a)
Three main functions of the lymphatic system: choose the answer that is NOT true.
Tissue drainage - prevents tissues from becoming water logged, cardiovascular failure & drop of blood volume
Absorption of fats and fat-soluble materials in the small intestine
Immunity - production & maturity of lymphocytes (white blood cells)
Transport - of nutrients including glucose, amino acids, fatty acids & vitamins around the body.
