ACTION

Question 1

Depresses the sensory cortex, decrease motor activity, alter cerebellar function and produces drossiness sedation and hypnosis, In high doses exhibit anticonvulsant activity

Answer 1

Barbiturates

Question 2

Bind to specific benzodiazepine receptors in the gaba receptor, Which enhance the binding of this inhibitory neuro transmitter

Answer 2

Benzo

Question 3

Act on brains dopamine and serotonin receptors

Answer 3

Non benzo

Question 4

Most of these agents cause generalized cns depression with no analgesic properties

Answer 4

Antianxiety drugs

Question 5

Increase levels of norepinephrine and serotonin by inhibiting their reuptake, and block the action of acetylcholine

Answer 5

TCA (Tricyclic antidepressants)

Question 6

Inhibits the activity of monoamine oxidases resulting in increased endogenous neurohormones

Answer 6

MAOI

Question 7

Block Dopamine receptors

Answer 7

Antipsychotic

Question 8

Primarily bacteriostatic caused by sulfonamide antagonism to paraaminobenzoic acid. Once the bacteria multiplication is slowed the body’s immune system is able to rid the bacteria

Answer 8

SULFONAMIDES

Question 9

Prevent bacteria from using a substance that is necessary for the maintenance of the bacteria’s outer wall

Answer 9

PENICILLINS

Question 10

Affect the bacterial cell wall, making it defective and unstable. This action is similar to the action of PCN, will work on bacteria that has become resistant to PCN

Answer 10

CEPHOLOSPORINS

Question 11

Inhibit bacterial protein synthesis, which is a process necessary for reproduction. Bacteriostatic, broad spectrum

Answer 11

TETRACYCLINES

Question 12

Bind to cell membrane and cause changes in protein synthesis. Bacteriostatic

Answer 12

Macrolides

Question 13

Exert their bactericidal effect by interfering with an enzyme needed by bacteria for synthesis of DNA.

Answer 13

Fluoroquinolones

Question 14

Exert their bactericidal effect by blocking a step in protein synthesis necessary for multiplication. They disrupt the functional ability of the bacterial cell membrane, causing cell death.

Answer 14

Aminoglycosides

Question 15

Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to several of the penicillin binding proteins, which in turn inhibit the final step in cell wall synthesis. Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL)

Answer 15

Carbapenems

Question 16

Inhibition of protein synthesis and cell death in susceptible organisms

Answer 16

Amebicide, Antiprotozoal, Nitroimidazole

Question 17

(a) Disrupts protein synthesis and causes changes in the cell wall surface, which decrease adherence of bacteria to host cells and increases intracellular killing of organisms
(b) Exerts an extended postantibiotic effect against some strain of bacteria

(c) considered a bacteriostatic but bactericidal against some strains of
staphylococci, streptococci, and anaerobes such as Bacteroides fragilis

Answer 17

Lincosamide
