    2. No need to write down the questions; just write your answers in an organized manner.
    3. Submit your papers to Ms. Faye on September 1, 2018 (Saturday) prior to taking the Module 3

    PART 1: Adverse Drug Reactions (10 points)


    Instruction: Select the BEST answer from the following choices, and indicate the pharmacological rationale
    for your chosen answer (reference not required).
    Sample Question:
    Common undesirable ADR experienced with usage of alkylating antineoplastic agents:
    a. Alopecia
    b. Somnolence
    c. Arrhythmia
    d. Hyperglycemia
    Sample Answer:
    A - Alkylating antineoplastic agents cause alopecia by formation of undesired intra- and inter-strand cross-
    linkages leading to the inhibition of replication and transcription of DNA. The formation of new hair
    follicles is then impaired leading to thinning of the hair shaft, making it fragile, and susceptible to fracture
    with minimal trauma.
    1. Dry mouth is an ADR commonly experienced with usage of:
    a. Tricyclic antidepressants
    b. Class IA antiarrhythmics
    c. Fluoroquinolones
    d. Beta blockers
    2. Common ADR experienced with usage of general anesthetics:
    a. Anemia
    b. Neutropenia
    c. Tachycardia
    d. Malignant hyperthermia
    3. Angioedema is experienced with which of the following drugs:
    a. Losartan
    b. Clonazepam

    b. Heart attack
    c. Anaphylactic shock
    d. Infection
    PART 2: Drug Interactions (10 points)
    Instruction: Select the BEST answer from the following choices, and indicate the pharmacological rationale

    Sample Question:
    Eating a lot of bananas while on spironolactone therapy may lead to:
    a. Increase in the body's sodium levels
    b. Increase in the bioavailability of spironolactone
    c. Increase the body's potassium levels
    d. Decrease in the excretion of spironolactone
    Sample Answer:
    C - Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic which works by blocking the excretion of potassium ions
    in the collecting duct of the kidney tubules. Eating banana, which is rich in potassium, while on
    spironolactone therapy may lead to hyperkalemia.
    1. Griseofulvin, when taken with fatty food, affects drugs by:
    a. Increasing the BA of drugs
    b. Decreasing the BA of drugs
    c. No effect on BA of drugs

    4. Methotrexate and probenecid, when taken concomitantly, may lead to:
    a. Decreased levels of methotrexate
    b. Increased levels of methotrexate
    c. Decreased levels of probenecid
    d. Increased levels of probenecid
    5. Clonidine and propranolol, when taken concomitantly, may lead to:
    a. Increased risk for tachycardia

    PART 3: Medication Errors (5 points)
    Instruction: Indicate the accurate category of medication error committed based on the NCCMERP
    guidelines.
    1. A physician prescribed the adult dosage for an antibiotic to a pediatric patient. Upon arrival at the
    local pharmacy, the pharmacist detected the error, and called the patient's physician for
    reconciliation. The pharmacist dispensed the antibiotic in its correct dosage, and provided
    counseling to the patient's guardian.
    2. A pharmacy attendant dispensed a different oral contraceptive to a patient than the one prescribed
    by the patient's gynecologist. Four months later, the patient was admitted to a hospital after being
    diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis.
    3. An adult male took an overdose of ibuprofen after feeling extreme pain from running a marathon.
    The patient had himself checked at the nearest hospital after feeling pain in his lower abdomen. He
    was told that his liver enzymes had to be monitored for sudden changes.
    4. An adult female patient took an incorrect dosage of amlodipine which caused her to experience
    tachycardia. The patient was rushed to the emergency room, and was administered first aid
    treatment. The patient was released after five hours after her heart rate stabilized.
