  • 2. 

    Dispersibility is defined as, distributes as fine particles throughout a medium

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    The statement is true because dispersibility refers to the ability of a substance to distribute itself as fine particles throughout a medium. This means that the substance can be easily mixed or dispersed evenly in the medium, forming a homogeneous mixture.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Solubility is directly proportional to dispersibility

    • FALSE

    • TRUE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    This statement is true because solubility refers to the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, while dispersibility refers to the ability of a substance to form a homogeneous mixture when added to a solvent. When a substance is soluble, it can easily disperse and form a homogeneous mixture in a solvent, while insoluble substances do not dissolve and do not disperse well in a solvent. Therefore, solubility and dispersibility are directly proportional to each other.

    As per the case study The outcome of the treatment was 

    • Cough was reduced

    • Fever reduction in 48 hours after starting the treatment

    • Dyspnea was significantly lesser

    • All the statements are true.

    Correct Answer
    A. All the statements are true.
    Explanation
    According to the case study, the outcome of the treatment included a reduction in cough, fever reduction within 48 hours of starting the treatment, and significant improvement in dyspnea. Therefore, all the statements are true.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Maximum inhibition of endotoxins 

    • Reduce Fever

    • Reduce congestion

    • Reduce cough

    • All the statements are true.

    Correct Answer
    A. All the statements are true.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that all the statements are true. This means that reducing fever, congestion, and cough can all lead to the maximum inhibition of endotoxins. Endotoxins are toxins released by certain bacteria that can cause fever, inflammation, and other symptoms. By reducing these symptoms, the body's immune response can be better regulated, leading to a more effective inhibition of endotoxins.

  • 6. 

    Cefpodoxime is a first choice in RTI because

    • Efficacy is equivalent to Ceftriaxone

    • Achieves high tissue concentrations

    • Wide spectrum of coverage

    • All the statements are true.

    Correct Answer
    A. All the statements are true.
    Explanation
    Cefpodoxime is considered a first choice in respiratory tract infections (RTIs) because it has equivalent efficacy to Ceftriaxone, achieves high tissue concentrations, and provides a wide spectrum of coverage. These characteristics make it an effective and reliable treatment option for RTIs.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    In the case study mentioned the 56 year old man did not have a history of 

    • Diabetes

    • COPD

    • Dyspnea

    • Hypertension

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypertension
    Explanation
    The case study states that the 56-year-old man did not have a history of diabetes, COPD, or dyspnea. However, it does mention that he had hypertension. This means that the correct answer is hypertension because it is the only condition mentioned in the case study that the man had a history of.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The treatment given to the patient was

    • Finecef O BID for 7 days+ 1 tablet paracetamol

    • Metformin 500 mg after lunch+Glimepride 1mg Before breakfast

    • Salbutamol 2mg TDS

    • All the medications

    Correct Answer
    A. All the medications
  • 9. 

    Ofloxacin role in this case 

    • Excellent activity against gram positive

    • Excellent activity against Atypical bacteria

    • Excellent activity against Gram negative bacteria

    • Excellent activity against Gm positive, Gm negative and atypical bacteria.

    Correct Answer
    A. Excellent activity against Gm positive, Gm negative and atypical bacteria.
    Explanation
    Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that has excellent activity against gram positive, gram negative, and atypical bacteria. This means that it is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including those that have a thick outer cell wall (gram positive), those that have a thin outer cell wall (gram negative), and those that do not fit into either category (atypical). Its broad spectrum of activity makes it a versatile and effective treatment option for various bacterial infections.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Cefpodoxime does not cover which of the following bacteria

    • Streptococcus pneumonia

    • Klebsiella pneumonia

    • Hemophilus influenza

    • Mycoplasma pneumonia

    Correct Answer
    A. Mycoplasma pneumonia
    Explanation
    Cefpodoxime is an antibiotic that belongs to the cephalosporin class. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumonia, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Hemophilus influenza. However, it does not cover Mycoplasma pneumonia. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a bacteria that causes atypical pneumonia and is known to be resistant to many antibiotics, including cephalosporins. Therefore, cefpodoxime would not be effective in treating infections caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The inhibition of endotoxins is done by

    • Ofloxacin

    • Cefpodoxime

    • Ofloxacin+Cefpodoxime

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Ofloxacin
    Explanation
    Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and can cause inflammation and other harmful effects. Ofloxacin inhibits the growth and replication of these bacteria, thereby reducing the production and release of endotoxins. By doing so, it helps to prevent the harmful effects associated with endotoxins and promotes the resolution of bacterial infections.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Dispersibility for Cefpodoxime is all so very important because,

    • Cefpodoxime has a very high bio-availability

    • Solubility of Cefpodoxime is very poor

    • Cefpodoxime has very low bio-availability

    • Cefpodoxime is insoluble

    Correct Answer
    A. Cefpodoxime has very low bio-availability
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that Cefpodoxime has very low bio-availability. Bio-availability refers to the proportion of a drug that enters the systemic circulation and is able to have an active effect. In the case of Cefpodoxime, it has a low bio-availability, meaning that only a small amount of the drug is able to enter the systemic circulation and have an effect. This is an important consideration because it affects the effectiveness and dosage of the medication.

  • 13. 

    Finecef gives advantage of

    • A suspension

    • A dispersible tablet

    • Both tablet & suspension

    • A Readymix

    Correct Answer
    A. Both tablet & suspension
    Explanation
    Finecef gives the advantage of both tablet and suspension forms. This means that the medication is available in both tablet and liquid suspension forms, allowing patients to choose the most convenient option for them. Tablets are easy to take and can be easily carried around, while the suspension form is useful for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets or need a lower dosage. Having both options available increases flexibility and ensures that patients can take the medication in a way that suits their needs.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The diagnosis in the patient mentioned in the case study was

    • COPD

    • Pneumonia

    • Asthma

    • Typhoid

    Correct Answer
    A. Pneumonia
    Explanation
    Based on the information provided in the case study, the patient's diagnosis is pneumonia. Pneumonia is an infection that causes inflammation in the air sacs of the lungs, leading to symptoms such as cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. The patient's symptoms and clinical presentation align with the characteristic features of pneumonia, indicating that this is the correct diagnosis.

    • FALSE

    • TRUE

    Correct Answer
    A. FALSE
    Explanation
    Cefpodoxime does not have good tissue penetration or inhibition of endotoxins.
