A. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
B. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs)
C. Beta blockers
D. Calcium channel blockers
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors

Generic names ending in '-pril' are ACE inhibitors, used mainly for hypertension and heart failure.

  • B: ARBs end in '-sartan', such as losartan and valsartan.

A prescription for Lipitor 20 mg allows generic substitution, but the patient says she only wants the brand product. Which DAW code applies?
A. DAW 1
B. DAW 2
C. DAW 3
D. DAW 4
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. DAW 2

DAW 2 is used when substitution is permitted but the patient requests the brand; the plan may charge a higher copay or the brand-generic cost difference.

  • A: DAW 1 means the prescriber prohibited substitution, which is not the case.
  • C: DAW 3 means the pharmacist selected the brand.
  • D: DAW 4 means the generic was not in stock at the pharmacy.

A 5 mL bottle of eye drops delivers 20 drops per mL. The sig is '1 drop in each eye twice daily.' What is the days' supply?
A. 12 days
B. 25 days
C. 50 days
D. 100 days
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. 25 days

5 mL × 20 drops/mL = 100 drops. One drop in each eye twice daily is 4 drops per day. 100 ÷ 4 = 25 days.

  • A: 12 days would result from assuming the dose is 2 drops in each eye twice daily.
  • C: 50 days would be correct only if the drops were used in one eye.
  • D: 100 days assumes one drop per day total.

A child weighs 44 pounds. The prescriber orders cefdinir at 10 mg/kg per dose. The suspension on hand is 100 mg per 5 mL. How many milliliters are given per dose?
A. 5 mL
B. 10 mL
C. 20 mL
D. 22 mL
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. 10 mL

44 lb ÷ 2.2 = 20 kg. 20 kg × 10 mg/kg = 200 mg per dose. At 100 mg/5 mL, 200 mg is 10 mL.

  • A: 5 mL would deliver 100 mg, only half the calculated dose.
  • C: 20 mL would deliver 400 mg, double the dose.
  • D: 22 mL results from using the weight in pounds instead of converting to kilograms.

A chemotherapy order is written for 50 mg/m². The patient's body surface area is 1.5 m². What is the dose?
A. 33 mg
B. 50 mg
C. 75 mg
D. 150 mg
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. 75 mg

Dose = 50 mg/m² × 1.5 m² = 75 mg.

  • A: 33 mg results from dividing 50 by 1.5 instead of multiplying.
  • B: This is the per-square-meter dose, not the patient's dose.
  • D: 150 mg would be the dose for a body surface area of 3 m².
