Drug administration is controlled primarily by
-
State amendments
-
Facility mandate
-
Federal law
-
State law
Correct Answer
A. Federal lawExplanation
Drug administration is primarily controlled by federal law because the federal government has the authority to regulate and enforce laws related to drugs at a national level. Federal laws such as the Controlled Substances Act and the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act establish regulations for the manufacturing, distribution, and use of drugs. These laws ensure that drugs are safe, effective, and properly labeled. While state laws may also play a role in drug administration, federal law takes precedence and sets the overarching framework for drug regulation in the United States.Rate this question:

A. Preventing the formation of prostaglandinsExplanation
Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that play a role in inflammation. They are produced by the body in response to injury or infection and can cause pain, swelling, and redness. By preventing the formation of prostaglandins, anti-inflammatory actions can help reduce these symptoms and decrease inflammation in the body. This can be beneficial for managing conditions such as arthritis, muscle sprains, and certain types of pain.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Lung conditions that cause bronchospasmExplanation
Adrenergic blockers are medications that block the effects of adrenaline in the body. In low doses, they can be used to treat patients with lung conditions that cause bronchospasm. Bronchospasm is a condition characterized by the constriction of the airways in the lungs, leading to difficulty in breathing. By blocking the effects of adrenaline, adrenergic blockers can help relax the muscles in the airways and improve airflow, making it easier for patients to breathe. This is why they are used in low doses for patients with lung conditions that cause bronchospasm.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Grapefruit juiceExplanation
Grapefruit juice should not be taken with calcium channel blockers because it can interfere with the way the medication is metabolized in the body. Grapefruit juice contains compounds that inhibit the enzyme responsible for breaking down the medication, leading to higher levels of the drug in the bloodstream. This can increase the risk of side effects and potentially cause harmful interactions. It is important to avoid consuming grapefruit juice while taking calcium channel blockers to ensure the medication is effective and safe.Rate this question:
