Answer to Question 1
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Potency refers to what dose of drug must be administered to achieve a certain level of response.
Rationale 2: Bioavailability is an index of what fraction of administered drug is absorbed and available to act in the body.
Rationale 3: Half-life is the time it takes the body to remove one-half of the drug from the circulation, and thus is a measure of how long the drug effect will last in the body.
Rationale 4: Efficacy refers to the magnitude of the response to a given dose of drug.

Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Is a name brand drug is incorrect. A prodrug requires metabolism to make it active. In these cases, as the drug is broken down by chemical reactions of metabolism, the products formed by the breakdown produce a more intense response than does the original drug.
Rationale 2: Is not absorbed by the body is incorrect. A prodrug requires metabolism to make it active. In these cases, as the drug is broken down by chemical reactions of metabolism, the products formed by the breakdown produce a more intense response than does the original drug.
Rationale 3: Is the first drug developed in a drug class is incorrect. This would be a prototype drug.
Rationale 4: In these cases, as the drug is broken down by chemical reactions of metabolism, the products formed by the breakdown produce a more intense response than does the original drug.
Global Rationale: A prodrug requires metabolism to make it active. In these cases, as the drug is broken down by chemical reactions of metabolism, the products formed by the breakdown produce a more intense response than does the original drug. A prodrug is not necessarily a brand name drug. A prodrug is absorbed by the body. A prototype drug, not a prodrug, is the first drug developed in a drug class.
