✍️ Sample NAPLEX QBANK Questions & Answers
1. A patient with hypothyroidism on levothyroxine has a persistently elevated TSH despite good adherence. Which medication taken concurrently most likely impairs absorption?
Calcium carbonate binds levothyroxine and reduces its absorption, so the two should be separated by several hours.
2. A patient starting montelukast should be counseled about which potential adverse effect?
Montelukast carries a warning for neuropsychiatric events including mood and behavior changes.
3. An asthmatic patient using a rescue albuterol inhaler more than twice weekly indicates the need for which therapy adjustment?
Frequent rescue inhaler use signals inadequate control, requiring a controller such as an inhaled corticosteroid.
4. A patient on an MAOI must avoid which food to prevent hypertensive crisis?
Tyramine-rich foods like aged cheese can trigger a hypertensive crisis with MAOIs.
5. What does a hazardous drug (HD) compounding facility require for the primary engineering control under USP ?
Hazardous drugs require negative-pressure containment primary engineering controls like a Class II BSC or CACI.
6. Which of the following statements most accurately describes the pharmacological mechanism of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like sertraline?
SSRIs, as their name implies, work by specifically and selectively inhibiting the serotonin transporter (SERT) on the presynaptic neuron. This action reduces the reuptake of serotonin from the synapse, which leads to an increased concentration and prolonged availability of serotonin to bind with postsynaptic receptors.
