Q 2.1 The value of e-0.45 is 1.568. True False
Q 2.2 Clearance can be thought of as a volume of plasma from which the drug is removed in a specific time period. True False
Q 2.3 If elimination from the central/body compartment is first order we can assume that a one compartment pharmacokinetic model is applicable. True False
Q 2.4 Given Cp = Cp0 x e-kel * t, and two data points (t1, Cp1) and (t2, Cp2), the elimination rate constant can be calculated as the slope [= (lnCp2 - lnCp1)/(t2-t1)] multiplied by -1. True False
Q 2.5 The integrated equation, A = B*[1- e-C*t], is consistent with plasma concentrations after an i.v. infusion has been stopped. True False
Q 2.6 The units of ln(R/E) are mg/L where R/E is rate of excretion.True False
Q 2.7 If 198 mg of a 300 mg i.v. bolus dose is excreted as unchanged drug into urine, the value of fm is 0.66. True False
Q 2.8 When looking at the effect of pH on the extraction of salicylic acid from aqueous buffer into an organic solvent a linear plot of 1/PC' versus 1/[H+] should produce a straight line plot. True False
Q 2.9 If the infusion rate constant, k0, is doubled the steady state plasma concentration, Cpss, will be doubled, assuming the other parameters are unchanged. True False
Q 2.10 Appropriate units for AUC are mg.hr.L. True False
Q 3.1 Briefly describe the parameter, apparent volume of distribution. Include a definition or description, a working (useful) equation, and units.
