    Rhinitis medicimentosa is

    • Rebound congestion from inhaled beta 2 agonist

    • Viral infection

    • Rebound congestion from nasal spray

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Rebound congestion from nasal spray
    Explanation
    Rhinitis medicamentosa is a condition characterized by rebound congestion that occurs as a result of using nasal sprays for an extended period of time. This rebound congestion is caused by the overuse or misuse of nasal sprays, particularly those containing decongestants. The prolonged use of these sprays can lead to a dependency on them, causing the nasal passages to become congested when the spray is not used. This condition is not caused by a viral infection or inhaled beta 2 agonist, making the correct answer "rebound congestion from nasal spray."

    A side/adverse effect of this drug is tremor

    • Dexamethasone

    • Tiotropium (Spiriva)

    • Acetylcysteine (Mucomyst)

    • Epinephrine

    Correct Answer
    A. Epinephrine
    Explanation
    Epinephrine is a medication that can cause tremor as a side effect. Tremor refers to involuntary shaking or trembling of the body, often affecting the hands. Epinephrine is a hormone that stimulates the body's "fight or flight" response and is commonly used to treat severe allergic reactions or cardiac arrest. While it is an effective medication, it can cause certain side effects, including tremor, due to its stimulatory effects on the nervous system. Therefore, among the given options, epinephrine is the most likely drug to cause tremor as a side effect.

  • 21. 

    Which of the following is not a drug action of Epinephrine

    • Bronchodilation

    • Decreased respiratory rate

    • Stimulate alpha and beta receptors

    • Vasoconstriction

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreased respiratory rate
    Explanation
    Epinephrine is a hormone and medication that primarily acts as a bronchodilator, stimulating the relaxation of the smooth muscles in the airways, leading to increased airflow and improved breathing. It also stimulates alpha and beta receptors, causing vasoconstriction, which narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure. However, it does not decrease respiratory rate. In fact, it typically increases respiratory rate due to its bronchodilator effects. Therefore, decreased respiratory rate is not a drug action of Epinephrine.

    • Finger

    • Toes

    • Nose

    • Chest

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Chest
    Explanation
    Epinephrine is commonly administered through an injection in the chest during emergency situations like cardiac arrest or severe allergic reactions. The chest area provides easy access to the heart and major blood vessels, allowing for the rapid absorption and distribution of the medication throughout the body. Administering epinephrine in the chest can help to quickly restore blood flow and increase heart rate, potentially saving a person's life. Therefore, the chest is a suitable site for epinephrine administration.

    Mast cells stabilizers are used for

    • Acute asthma attack

    • Prophylaxis of brochospasm

    • To prevent bronchodilation

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Prophylaxis of brochospasm
    Explanation
    Mast cell stabilizers are used for the prophylaxis of bronchospasm. These medications work by preventing the release of inflammatory substances, such as histamine, from mast cells. By doing so, they help to reduce the bronchial hyperresponsiveness and inflammation that can lead to bronchospasm. This makes mast cell stabilizers an effective treatment option for individuals with asthma, as they can help to prevent the occurrence of bronchospasm and reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Steroid inhaler should be used before beta agonist inhaler

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Beta-agonist inhalers, such as albuterol, work quickly to relax the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Steroid inhalers, such as fluticasone, reduce inflammation in the airways but take longer to work. Therefore, it is recommended to use the beta-agonist inhaler first to open up the airways, followed by the steroid inhaler to reduce inflammation.

    Alpha adrenergic decongestants are

    • Oral

    • Sub q

    • Topical

    • A & C

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A & C
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A & C" because alpha adrenergic decongestants can be administered orally and topically. Oral administration involves taking the medication by mouth, while topical administration involves applying the medication directly to the affected area. Subcutaneous (sub q) administration, on the other hand, refers to injecting the medication under the skin, which is not applicable to alpha adrenergic decongestants. Therefore, options B and D are incorrect.

    • First line of therapy

    • Rescue medications

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Rescue medications
    Explanation
    Acute exacerbations of asthma are typically treated with rescue medications. These medications are designed to provide immediate relief by quickly opening up the airways and reducing inflammation. They are often inhaled and include bronchodilators such as short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs) like albuterol. These medications work by relaxing the muscles around the airways, allowing them to open up and improve breathing. Using rescue medications as a first line of therapy is a common approach in managing acute asthma exacerbations. Therefore, the correct answer is "rescue medications."

    Oral decongestants are less potent than topicals

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Oral decongestants are less potent than topicals because when taken orally, the decongestant has to go through the digestive system before entering the bloodstream. This process can cause the medication to be metabolized and diluted, resulting in a lower concentration of the active ingredient reaching the nasal passages. On the other hand, topicals are applied directly to the nasal passages, allowing for a higher concentration of the decongestant to be delivered to the targeted area. Therefore, oral decongestants are generally considered to be less potent compared to topicals.

    Which of the following is not a COPD

    • Asthma

    • Emphysema

    • Acute Bronchitis

    • Bronchiectasis

    Correct Answer
    A. Acute Bronchitis
    Explanation
    Acute bronchitis is not a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is a long-term, progressive lung disease characterized by airflow limitation. Asthma, emphysema, and bronchiectasis are all considered COPD because they involve chronic inflammation and damage to the airways, leading to breathing difficulties. However, acute bronchitis is a temporary condition caused by a viral or bacterial infection that causes inflammation of the bronchial tubes. While it can cause similar symptoms to COPD, it is not a chronic condition and typically resolves within a few weeks.

    The first line of therapy asthma is

    • Pulmonary function tests

    • Daily inhaled steroids

    • Xanthines

    • Short acting beta-2 agonists

    Correct Answer
    A. Daily inhaled steroids
    Explanation
    Daily inhaled steroids are considered the first line of therapy for asthma because they are effective in reducing airway inflammation and controlling symptoms. Inhaled steroids work by decreasing the production of inflammatory substances in the airways, thus reducing swelling and narrowing of the airways. They are recommended for daily use to maintain long-term control of asthma symptoms and to prevent exacerbations. This treatment approach has been shown to improve lung function, reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks, and improve overall quality of life for asthma patients.

    Which of the following is a mucolytic

    • Terpin hydrate

    • Dornase alfa (Pulmozyme)

    • Iodinated glycerol

    • Guaifenesin

    Correct Answer
    A. Dornase alfa (Pulmozyme)
    Explanation
    Dornase alfa (Pulmozyme) is a mucolytic. It is an enzyme that breaks down the DNA present in the mucus, making it less thick and sticky. This helps in clearing the airways and improving breathing in patients with cystic fibrosis. Terpin hydrate, iodinated glycerol, and guaifenesin are not mucolytics, but rather expectorants or cough suppressants that work by different mechanisms to relieve symptoms of cough and congestion.
