  • 2. 

     A phone order medication needs to be signed for by the prescribing doctor within

    • 2 hours

    • 8 hours

    • 12 hours

    • 24 hours

    Correct Answer
    A. 24 hours
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 24 hours because it allows the prescribing doctor enough time to review and sign the medication order. This timeframe ensures that the doctor has ample time to assess the patient's condition, consider any potential contraindications or interactions, and make an informed decision before approving the medication. A longer time frame, such as 48 or 72 hours, could delay the patient's access to necessary medication, while a shorter time frame, such as 2 or 8 hours, may not provide the doctor with enough time to adequately review the order.

    After first use a vial/cartridge/penfil of insulin can stay out of the fridge at room temperature for up to 4 weeks

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Insulin can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 weeks after first use. This is because insulin is stable at room temperature and does not require refrigeration. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper storage and handling of insulin to ensure its effectiveness and safety.

    Ward S8 and S4d medications should be ordered from pharmacy on

    • Monday and Friday before 10am

    • Monday and Thursday before 10am

    • Tuesday and Thursday before 10am

    • Tuesday and Friday before 10am

    Correct Answer
    A. Tuesday and Friday before 10am
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Tuesday and Friday before 10am because Ward S8 and S4d medications need to be ordered from the pharmacy on these specific days and before 10am. This ensures that the medications will be available in a timely manner for the ward.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

     Perindopril erbumine 4mg is the same as Perindopril arginine

    • 2.5mg

    • 5mg

    • 7.5mg

    • 10mg

    Correct Answer
    A. 5mg
    Explanation
    Perindopril erbumine 4mg and Perindopril arginine 5mg are the same medication but in different strengths. The active ingredient in both medications is perindopril, which is an ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. The only difference is the dosage strength, with Perindopril erbumine being available in 4mg and Perindopril arginine being available in 5mg. Therefore, the statement is correct as both medications contain the same active ingredient but in different strengths.

    The following medicines are all high falls risk except - ProProfs

    The following medicines are all high falls risk except

    • Pregabalin

    • Frusemide

    • Ibuprofen

    • Fentanyl

    • Oxazepam

    • Prazosin

    • Isosorbide mononitrate

    • Amitriptyline

    • Haloperidol

    Correct Answer
    A. Ibuprofen
    Explanation
    Ibuprofen is not considered a high falls risk medication because it does not have a significant impact on balance or coordination. Medications like pregabalin, fentanyl, oxazepam, prazosin, isosorbide mononitrate, amitriptyline, and haloperidol can cause dizziness, drowsiness, or changes in blood pressure, which can increase the risk of falls. Frusemide is a diuretic that can cause dehydration, which may also contribute to falls. However, ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for pain relief, but it does not have the same side effects that can increase falls risk.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Dabigatran is more renally cleared than apixaban

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Dabigatran and apixaban are both oral anticoagulant medications that are used to prevent blood clots. Renal clearance refers to the process by which a drug is eliminated from the body through the kidneys. In this case, the statement suggests that dabigatran is more effectively eliminated through the kidneys compared to apixaban. This means that dabigatran is more dependent on renal function for its clearance from the body. This information is important because it suggests that patients with impaired kidney function may require dosage adjustments or alternative medications to avoid potential drug accumulation and related side effects.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The approximate equivalent dose of 1mg subcut hydromorphone is

    • A) 1mg oral morphine

    • B) 1mg oral hydromorphone

    • C) 15mg oral morphine

    • D) 20mg oral oxycodone

    • E) 3mg oral hydromorphone

    • F) Both C and E

    Correct Answer
    A. F) Both C and E
    Explanation
    The correct answer is f) Both C and E. This means that the approximate equivalent dose of 1mg subcutaneous hydromorphone is either 15mg oral morphine or 3mg oral hydromorphone. This suggests that both oral morphine and oral hydromorphone can be used as alternatives to subcutaneous hydromorphone, with the appropriate dose adjustments.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The following antimicrobials require an antibiotic control form except?

    • Ceftriaxone

    • Ciprofloxacin

    • Meropenem

    • Tazocin

    • Cephazolin

    • Clindamycin

    • Caspofungin

    Correct Answer
    A. Cephazolin
    Explanation
    Cephazolin is the correct answer because it does not require an antibiotic control form. Antibiotic control forms are typically used to monitor and regulate the use of certain antibiotics that may have a higher risk of resistance or adverse effects. Cephazolin is a commonly used antibiotic that does not fall into this category, so it does not require a control form.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The following medicines all have an oral extended release (SR) version except

    • Nifedipine

    • Metoprolol

    • Irbesartan

    • Hydromorphone

    Correct Answer
    A. Irbesartan
    Explanation
    Irbesartan does not have an oral extended release (SR) version. Nifedipine, metoprolol, and hydromorphone all have extended release versions that are designed to slowly release the medication into the body over an extended period of time. However, irbesartan is not available in an extended release formulation.
