Question 58. Question : Nonselective beta blockers and alcohol create serious drug interactions with insulin because they: Increase blood glucose levels. Produce unexplained diaphoresis. Interfere with the ability of the body to metabolize glucose. Mask the signs and symptoms of altered glucose levels. Question 59. Question : Infants and young children are at higher risk of ADRs due to: Immature renal function in school-age children Lack of safety and efficacy studies in the pediatric population Children’s skin being thicker than adults, requiring higher dosages of topical medication Infant boys having a higher proportion of muscle mass, leading to a higher volume of distribution Question 60. Question : Warfarin resistance may be seen in patients with VCORC1 mutation, leading to: Toxic levels of warfarin building up Decreased response to warfarin Increased risk for significant drug interactions with warfarin Less risk of drug interactions with warfarin Question 61. Question : Jose is a twelve-year-old overweight child with a total cholesterol level of 180 mg/dL and LDL of 125 mg/dL. Along with diet education and recommending increased physical activity, a treatment plan for Jose would include ____ with a reevaluation in six months. statins niacin sterols bile acid-binding resins Question 62. Question : A potentially life-threatening adverse response to ACE inhibitors is angioedema. Which of the following statements is true about this adverse response? Swelling of the tongue and hoarseness are the most common symptoms. It appears to be related to a decrease in aldosterone production. The presence of a dry, hacky cough indicates a high risk for this adverse response. Because it takes time to build up a blood level, it occurs after being on the drug for about one week. Question 63. Question : Amber is a twenty-four-year-old who has had migraines for ten years. She reports a migraine on average of once a month. The migraines are effectively aborted with naratriptan (Amerge).

Normal adverse effects of silver sulfadiazine cream include: Transient leukopenia on days two to four that should resolve Worsening of burn symptoms briefly before resolution A red, scaly rash that will resolve with continued use Hypercalcemia Question 66. Question : Sulfonylureas may be added to a treatment regimen for type II diabetics when lifestyle modifications and metformin are insufficient to achieve target glucose levels. Sulfonylureas have been moved to Step 2 therapy because they: Increase endogenous insulin secretion. Have a significant risk for hypoglycemia. Address the insulin resistance found in type II diabetics. Improve insulin binding to receptors. Question 67. Question : Narcotics are exogenous opiates. They act by ______. inhibiting pain transmission in the spinal cord attaching to receptors in the afferent neuron to inhibit the release of substance P blocking neurotransmitters in the midbrain increasing beta-lipoprotein excretion from the pituitary
