Slide 58-

Which of the following is a principle of prudent prescribing? Only inquire about prescribed medications Ask the patient, “What could possibly be so hard about taking pills every day?” Do not begin treatment without a diagnosis Use drugs before a trial of non-pharmacologic therapy Fick D.M, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2003;163(22):2716-2724.
Slide 59-

Which of the following effects of aging contributes to an increased risk of ADRs related to benzodiazepine use? Increased body fat mass causing a greater volume of distribution and decreasing drug half-life Increased hepatic volume resulting in increased production of active metabolites Decreased renal function causing delayed renal excretion Fick D.M, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2003;163(22):2716-2724.

Patients who think they are taking too many medications report lower quality of life than patients who think they are taking the right number of medications. True False Fick D.M, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2003;163(22):2716-2724.
Slide 61-

A patient with a serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL (within the normal range) will also have a normal creatinine clearance True False Fick D.M, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2003;163(22):2716-2724.
Slide 62-

Older adults uniformly exhibit exaggerated pharmacodynamic responses compared with younger adults. True False Fick D.M, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2003;163(22):2716-2724.
