week 2 tutorial on quiz prep PART 1 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Well, hello everyone and welcome to our
- 0:03week two tutorial that aims to make sure
- 0:06that all of the students attending this
- 0:08tutorial are going to do well in the
- 0:11week two quiz.
- 0:13Obviously, you're going to need to go
- 0:15through the module one in order to do
- 0:18well, but this tutorial is going to give
- 0:20you a really good idea of the kind of
- 0:23questions and some exact questions that
- 0:26you'll see in the quiz.
- 0:28And just a reminder about the details of
- 0:30the quiz so that you know exactly what's
- 0:33happening.
- 0:35The quiz is this coming Friday and it's
- 0:38worth 20% of your grade in the unit.
- 0:42You will need to access the quiz in
- 0:45assessment on the side panel there in
- 0:47our Blackboard site. Assessment,
- 0:49assessment tests and submission.
- 0:52Assessment one, go down to assessment
- 0:55one and then you'll be looking at a
- 0:58folder that starts giving you prompts
- 1:01and agreements to certain conditions
- 1:04that you'll have to make sure to abide
- 1:07by.
- 1:08They're academic integrity issues for
- 1:10the most part. Okay, so sorry in advance
- 1:12for this next bit, but I do have to tell
- 1:14you the rules of the quiz right now.
- 1:17Some of the terms and conditions that
- 1:19you'll agree to include that you will
- 1:22not use artificial intelligence. There
- 1:25are no screenshots or photos of the quiz
- 1:28allowed at all. So even if you have a
- 1:31question about the quiz and you want to
- 1:32show me what's happening to your screen,
- 1:35you will have to email me or explain it
- 1:38in an email. You will not be able to
- 1:40take a picture of the screen or a
- 1:43screenshot of the screen. That's
- 1:45strictly forbidden.
- 1:47And you're not allowed to communicate
- 1:50with anybody about the quiz, not during
- 1:52the quiz time at all. So from 6:00 a.m.
- 1:56to the next day
- 1:58and you're not allowed to give a copy of
- 2:00the quiz to a future student. So, all of
- 2:03those are academic integrity issues and
- 2:06you will have to agree to those before
- 2:08you actually get the to the quiz. If you
- 2:11don't agree to them, then you don't
- 2:13actually get to the quiz.
- 2:15And another important condition of the
- 2:18quiz is that if you are not at one of
- 2:21the SCU campuses. Now,
- 2:23this means that if you are at one of the
- 2:26SCU campuses taking the quiz, then this
- 2:29condition does not exist. But, if you
- 2:31are not at one of the SCU campuses,
- 2:34you'll need to agree that you have a
- 2:37backup computer or some sort of a device
- 2:40that you can take the quiz. So, you have
- 2:42to have two different devices to take
- 2:44the quiz. One is your primary and second
- 2:47one is your your backup. And then you
- 2:50have to have a backup internet
- 2:51connection. So, what are you going to do
- 2:54in case? You have to have a backup plan.
- 2:57So, once you start the quiz, you'll need
- 3:00to finish it in the 90 minutes allowed.
- 3:03Those are the rules that have been
- 3:05agreed to by the board of assessors. So,
- 3:08we do need to abide by the rules.
- 3:11Once you go through those that series of
- 3:15folders, you will have 60 minutes to
- 3:19take the quiz. The quiz itself contains
- 3:2232 multiple-choice questions and each of
- 3:26those are worth 0.5%
- 3:29of your grade. That all adds up to 16
- 3:32points or 16% of your grade. And then
- 3:35there will be two two-point questions
- 3:38that I basically give you in this
- 3:40tutorial. So, all together, 20 points or
- 3:4420% of your grade in the unit.
- 3:48So, with that as an overview to the
- 3:51actual quiz, let's talk about what we
- 3:53will find in today's tutorial and why
- 3:55it's so important in doing well in the
- 3:57quiz.
- 3:58Today, we're going to discuss a number
- 4:00of multiple choice quiz questions, and
- 4:02for those, I'll discuss the question,
- 4:05and I will discuss the answers that you
- 4:07should actually give in order to be
- 4:09successful in each one of those
- 4:11questions. Each one of those questions
- 4:13will have five different choices. In
- 4:15most instances, the PowerPoints and the
- 4:17PowerPoint notes don't have all five
- 4:20choices in those, but I will give you
- 4:23the other choices, and you'll just have
- 4:25to add to your study notes. The
- 4:27university doesn't allow me to post the
- 4:29notes that can be used in the quiz to
- 4:31directly give students additional credit
- 4:34because everybody would just download
- 4:36the notes and not bother with the
- 4:37mandatory tutorial. But, I've got an
- 4:40easy solution. I suggest that you print
- 4:42out the PowerPoint notes,
- 4:45and as we go through this tutorial here,
- 4:47you can fill in the blanks.
- 4:49Then, your study notes are going to
- 4:51become invaluable
- 4:52if you don't remember the answers off
- 4:54the top of your head. The other thing
- 4:56that we'll be looking at today will be
- 4:58two two-point short answer questions,
- 5:01and importantly, those two short answer
- 5:02questions will be questions that you
- 5:04absolutely cannot get the answer to
- 5:06anywhere else but this tutorial. So, for
- 5:08instance, I may ask name the four most
- 5:11important side effects of ACE inhibitors
- 5:13in the order in which they were
- 5:14presented in week five tutorial.
- 5:17Uh that's not one of the questions, but
- 5:18anyway, that's the kind of question. So,
- 5:20that is a very specific answer that
- 5:22you'll have to give in order to get the
- 5:24credit for the two points.
- 5:26And every student who decides not to go
- 5:29to this tutorial or to watch the video
- 5:31tutorial series is going to complain
- 5:33about that, but those are the rules, and
- 5:35um
- 5:36you, uh for instance, will thank me for
- 5:38it because you will have the notes that
- 5:41um gives you the answers to a good
- 5:43portion of your questions in the quiz.
- 5:46So, that's good news for each of you who
- 5:48are here today, and unless you have any
- 5:50questions about the process, I think
- 5:52it's probably Does anybody have any
- 5:54questions?
- 5:55Okay, nothing's coming in. Uh let's
- 5:57start writing up our cheat sheet for the
- 6:00quiz.
- 6:01And the first thing I want to remind you
- 6:03about is that module O, so the
- 6:06orientation module has three short
- 6:08lessons that were included, and there
- 6:10will be at least one question from those
- 6:13three in the quiz. The topics were
- 6:15drugs, and if you recall schedules 2, 3,
- 6:19and 4. Four is prescription only. Uh 8
- 6:22is a controlled drug. Uh those are the
- 6:26most important ones, and if there's a
- 6:28question on those, it'll be have to do
- 6:29with those. Uh schedules 2, 3, 4, and 8.
- 6:33Medicinal formulations was another
- 6:35topic, and one thing that always comes
- 6:37up in a quiz about medicinal
- 6:39formulations has to do with enteric
- 6:41coated drugs. So, enteric coating is a
- 6:44coating that is put on the drug
- 6:47in order for the drug to get straight
- 6:49through the stomach all the way into the
- 6:51small intestines before it actually
- 6:53dissolves. And that would be because of
- 6:55the fact that uh perhaps uh the drug
- 6:57exposed to the acidic environment of the
- 6:59stomach would degrade really rapidly or
- 7:01for whatever reason. It might be a drug
- 7:03that's really hard on the stomach wall.
- 7:06So, for whatever reason, they'll put an
- 7:08enteric coating on the medication, and
- 7:11when there is a enteric coating, the
- 7:13question that always comes up in quizzes
- 7:16is you know, can it be chewed or
- 7:18swallowed? Can it be uh
- 7:20crushed? Uh definitely never crush or
- 7:23chew
- 7:24an enteric coated medication.
- 7:27And that would almost inevitably result
- 7:28in a diminished efficacy of the drug,
- 7:31and then in some cases, it would
- 7:33actually uh result in damage to the
- 7:35stomach wall.
- 7:37So, that's probably the most important,
- 7:38but then you can find the list of
- 7:41medicine formulations in a module uh O
- 7:45and uh there was a a pretty much a
- 7:47handout that you would be able to
- 7:49download. So, I've simplified an entire
- 7:51chapter by uh putting it into a table
- 7:54and all of the most important
- 7:56information about medicinal formulations
- 7:58is in that table.
- 8:00Okay, and the other quick lesson, so
- 8:03that was two quick lessons in the
- 8:04orientation module and the other one had
- 8:06to do with pregnancy categories.
- 8:09The most important thing that you need
- 8:10to remember about pregnancy categories
- 8:12is that the uh drugs get a bit more
- 8:14problematic as they go from pregnancy
- 8:17category A to pregnancy category C to D
- 8:20to X. A is the safest and it's been
- 8:23taken by a large number of pregnant
- 8:25women, while uh pregnancy category D is
- 8:28likely to result in harm to the fetus
- 8:30and uh pregnancy category X is
- 8:33teratogenic. So, it will cause birth
- 8:35defects. But, the pregnancy category B
- 8:39drugs is the one that is not strictly
- 8:41hierarchical. In other words, there is
- 8:44not enough information about pregnancy
- 8:45category B drugs to know for certain
- 8:48whether they will eventually be a
- 8:50pregnancy category A drug or pregnancy
- 8:53category C or D. Uh the other thing
- 8:56about the pregnancy categories has to do
- 8:57with the fact that you need to know that
- 8:59you're looking at the Australian
- 9:01pregnancy uh categories. So, make sure
- 9:04that it's an Australian pregnancy
- 9:06category in order for it to be relevant
- 9:08to Australia.
- 9:09If the source says, for instance, FDA
- 9:13uh regulates this drug as a pregnancy
- 9:15category B or for for instance, that has
- 9:17to do with America. It's it doesn't have
- 9:19to do with the B drugs in Australia. So,
- 9:22uh please make sure that when you're
- 9:23looking at the pregnancy categories, you
- 9:26are using an Australian source.
- 9:30Okay, so those were the three uh little
- 9:34lessons that we had in the orientation
- 9:36module. And as we move to the material
- 9:39presented in the weekly modules, one of
- 9:41the questions that will definitely be in
- 9:43the quiz will have to do with half-life.
- 9:46Now, for this one, I may not give you
- 9:48this exact one, but as I present this, I
- 9:51definitely I guarantee that if you
- 9:53listen to this, you will get the answer
- 9:56to the question that I do choose for the
- 9:58quiz, okay? So, listen carefully to what
- 10:01I have to say about the half-life in in
- 10:03this question. And as you go through
- 10:05that, you'll know the answer to that
- 10:08type of question, that half-life
- 10:09question that's in the quiz.
- 10:12So, at 12:00 noon,
- 10:15Mr. SM has 8 mg of drug in his system.
- 10:18The drug has a half-life of 1 hour.
- 10:20Uh when is it anticipated that he will
- 10:23have about 0.5 mg of drug in his system?
- 10:27So, that's uh going to have a number of
- 10:29choices if this is the exact question
- 10:31that I'm going to choose for being in
- 10:33the quiz. So, around 4:00, around 2:00,
- 10:363:00, 6:00 p.m., and 5:00 p.m. So, in
- 10:40order to really fully understand this,
- 10:42what we need to do is take a look at
- 10:43this graph.
- 10:44So, here's the 8 mg at 12:00 noon, and
- 10:50it is a and it has a 1-hour half-life.
- 10:54So, in the first half-life, it goes from
- 10:568 mg down to 4. Everybody Everybody's
- 10:59going to understand that one.
- 11:00Now, a lot of people at this point will
- 11:02think that in the second half-life,
- 11:04it'll go down four more milligrams, and
- 11:06it'll be out of the system completely in
- 11:08two half-lives. But that is incorrect.
- 11:11You need to look at this graph right
- 11:13here and just get your head around the
- 11:15fact that the second half-life is going
- 11:17to basically begin the clock ticking
- 11:19again. At
- 11:211:00, there's 4 mg in his system, and
- 11:24that's going to go down to 2 mg at 2:00.
- 11:28So, just note the fact that it's not a
- 11:30linear thing, not with the standard way
- 11:33that we excrete medications,
- 11:35which is uh the first order of kinetics.
- 11:38And uh the next half-life is going to
- 11:40take it down to 1 mg uh and that's going
- 11:42to be at 3:00. The fourth half-life
- 11:45takes it down to 0.5 mg. And take this
- 11:48down because the point at which there's
- 11:51only 5% remaining in the system is 4.5
- 11:55half-lives. The average time that it
- 11:57takes to eliminate uh 95% of the drug
- 12:01from the system is 4.5 half-lives.
- 12:05So, does everybody understand that it's
- 12:07not a linear thing? If it was a linear
- 12:09thing, it would take only 2 hours to
- 12:10eliminate the drug, but basically it
- 12:12gets harder and harder to eliminate the
- 12:14drugs when we have less of the drug in
- 12:16our system.
- 12:18So, hopefully you have understood that
- 12:21with respect to half-life, and we can go
- 12:24on to another question, which is likely
- 12:27to be in the final quiz. So, the next
- 12:30question has to do with linear dose
- 12:32response versus a normal response curve.
- 12:37And the question that will be seen in
- 12:38the quiz has to do with, you know, which
- 12:40of the following exhibits a linear dose
- 12:43response. And the answers that I'm
- 12:46showing here on the PowerPoint are
- 12:47calcium antacids, uh paracetamol, beta
- 12:50blockers, and the two that are not seen
- 12:53on the PowerPoint notes are opioids, and
- 12:57uh the last one is none of the drug
- 12:59choices in this list exhibit a linear
- 13:02dose response.
- 13:04So, take some time to write down those
- 13:06two additional choices, opioids, and
- 13:09none of the drug choices in this list
- 13:11exhibit a linear dose response.
- 13:14In order to understand the dose response
- 13:17curves, we should first take the normal
- 13:20dose response. So, normally the response
- 13:23goes something like this graph, where
- 13:25the dose is on the x-axis, right here
- 13:28and the response is on the y-axis.
- 13:31So, if we took paracetamol as an
- 13:33example, because this is a really
- 13:34important one. This is something that
- 13:37clients will always
- 13:39uh have the wrong assumption about and
- 13:41it's really a an important uh safety
- 13:45issue. If we take paracetamol as an
- 13:46example, the normal dose is going to be
- 13:49in this range here.
- 13:51But, it's a weak analgesic. So, you're
- 13:55not going to get more analgesic effects
- 13:57by taking more than the normal dose.
- 14:00This is one of the reasons that uh you
- 14:01know, people are overdosing so much on
- 14:03paracetamol. Paracetamol is one of it
- 14:05well, it's the number one cause of acute
- 14:07liver failure because of the fact that
- 14:09people think that the more you take, the
- 14:12greater the effect. But, all you do when
- 14:14you take more paracetamol is that you
- 14:17actually get into this time right here
- 14:20where you're going to experience more
- 14:22side effects and not more, for instance,
- 14:25analgesic effects.
- 14:27Now, a linear dose response is
- 14:29demonstrated with this graph. The
- 14:31example that we used in the modules in
- 14:34module one was the osmotic laxatives.
- 14:37Osmotic laxatives, very simplistically
- 14:39speaking, pull water into the small
- 14:41intestine from the blood. It's an
- 14:43osmotically active particle. It pulls
- 14:45basically basically pulls it into the
- 14:47intestines and then
- 14:49uh the person has diarrhea or has looser
- 14:52stools or you know, depending on how
- 14:54much they take and where they started
- 14:55from.
- 14:56But, if you take too much, the major
- 14:58side effect is going to be diarrhea and
- 15:00also even dehydration if you take too
- 15:02much. Uh and then even electrolyte
- 15:04imbalances from that dehydration.
- 15:07Uh because basically there's uh too many
- 15:09electrolytes in your blood for the
- 15:10amount of fluid that's left. If you're
- 15:12actually, you know, pulling just think
- 15:13about, you know, pulling all of that
- 15:15water, all of that fluid out of the
- 15:17blood and into the GIT, well, you wind
- 15:21up with um diarrhea uh in the uh GIT and
- 15:24in the system, you wind up with
- 15:26dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
- 15:29So, uh
- 15:30yes, so that one is an example of the
- 15:33rare time in which we have a linear dose
- 15:36response. The more you take, the more
- 15:40uh the greater the the effect.
- 15:42Uh other examples of drugs that have a
- 15:44linear dose response are mainly those
- 15:47drugs that are attempting to kill
- 15:48pathogens or cancer cells. So, for
- 15:51instance, radiation therapy exhibits a
- 15:53linear dose response. But, of course,
- 15:56you have to be really careful because if
- 15:57you're killing 100% of the cancer cells,
- 16:00then you're probably going to kill the
- 16:02patient as well.
- 16:03Uh so, let's go back to the question and
- 16:06which one of the following exhibits a
- 16:07linear dose response? Can anybody tell
- 16:09me? Uh calcium antacids? Do do those do
- 16:12do paracetamol? Does uh
- 16:15beta blockers or opioids?
- 16:18Okay, yeah, correct. And none of those
- 16:20will actually exhibit a linear dose
- 16:22response. Uh if there was, for instance,
- 16:26uh radiation therapy or
- 16:29osmotic laxatives in that group of
- 16:31medications, then you would choose
- 16:33those.
- 16:34Okay, so does everybody understand that?
- 16:38Good. Well done. Uh so, at this point,
- 16:41what I'm going to do is uh sneak in the
- 16:43one of the two-point questions.
- 16:45And so, the next question is about
- 16:47rebound effects of medications, and it's
- 16:50going to be that question, one of the
- 16:52two two-point questions that we'll take
- 16:53today.
- 16:54And once again, the only way you'll know
- 16:56how to answer this question is to listen
- 16:58to it right here. The question's going
- 17:00to be worded, "In the tutorial, we
- 17:01discussed the rebound effect that is
- 17:03seen in some medications. Using the
- 17:05example that was given in the compulsory
- 17:07tutorial, explain the rebound effect and
- 17:09why it occurs."
- 17:14Okay, yeah, I will post that in the chat
- 17:17board and
- 17:18uh it's posted right now. So, in the uh
- 17:20tutorial we discussed the rebound effect
- 17:23that is seen in some medications. Using
- 17:25the example that was given in the
- 17:27tutorial, explain the rebound effect and
- 17:29why it occurs.
- 17:31And for this one, I would just want you
- 17:33to use the example that we used in
- 17:35module one. Let's just be consistent and
- 17:38you've already been exposed to this uh
- 17:39example. We're looking at various and we
- 17:42were looking at various antacids and we
- 17:45were saying that each one of them
- 17:46resulted in a rebound effect. Uh that
- 17:49each one of those actually resulted in a
- 17:51bit of hyperacidity. If you take an
- 17:52antacid, it's good, you know, because it
- 17:56uh relieves the uh the the heartburn and
- 17:58that kind of thing for a short period of
- 17:59time, but then there's a little bit of a
- 18:00hyperacidity. But do you recall which
- 18:03one was the worst of those?
- 18:05Yes, exactly. It was the calcium uh
- 18:08antacids. So, they have the greatest
- 18:12uh neutralization of stomach acid, but
- 18:15they are also the ones that exhibit the
- 18:17very strongest rebound effect. So, as
- 18:20soon as you're uh kind of feeling like
- 18:22your the the stomach is neutralizing,
- 18:24what's happening there is that the the
- 18:27parietal cells detect the fact that the
- 18:30stomach has a neutral environment and it
- 18:32wants to hypersecrete acid so it gets
- 18:36the pH more acidic as quickly as
- 18:39possible.
- 18:41So, in answer to that question, what
- 18:43you're going to say is something
- 18:44something to the effect of the
- 18:45calcium-based antacids are an example of
- 18:48a drug that exhibits a strong rebound
- 18:50effect. It occurs because the neutral
- 18:52environment in the stomach is detected
- 18:55and the body attempts to maintain
- 18:57homeostasis through a hypersecretion of
- 19:00acid.
- 19:03Yep. Yeah, I do.
- 19:05I I I don't want you to use my words
- 19:08exactly. What I'd I'd like you to do is
- 19:09understand what what we're what we're
- 19:12talking about. So,
- 19:13what I said was the calcium-based
- 19:15antacids are an example of a drug that
- 19:17exhibits a very strong rebound effect.
- 19:19It occurs because the neutral
- 19:21environment of the stomach is detected
- 19:23by the parietal cells and the body
- 19:25attempts to maintain homeostasis through
- 19:27a hypersecretion of acid.
- 19:30So, the main thing is that you realize
- 19:32that a lot of drugs result in that kind
- 19:35of rebound effect. There's uh for
- 19:37instance, opioid analgesics and
- 19:39antidepressants and benzodiazepines. You
- 19:41know, when you take a benzodiazepine,
- 19:43what is going to happen is that, you
- 19:45know, you get really relaxed. And those
- 19:46are like Xanax and uh Valium and and
- 19:49that kind of thing. You You get really
- 19:50relaxed and and all anxieties are, you
- 19:52know, diminished and that kind of thing.
- 19:54But then there's a bit of a um
- 19:57a rebound effect where you're actually a
- 19:59bit more anxious afterwards. Stimulants
- 20:01do that. Um nasal decongestant
- 20:04decongestants do that a lot of times.
- 20:06Beta-blockers, corticosteroids, there's
- 20:08a lot of medications that
- 20:11have this type of rebound effect. And
- 20:14it's really because of the fact that the
- 20:16body is trying to maintain homeostasis.
- 20:19So, it's trying to get back to that
- 20:21norm. And uh and yeah, that's one of the
- 20:24reasons that a lot of our medications
- 20:27aren't going to be tolerated very well.
- 20:29But the one that you use in the quiz,
- 20:32the example that you use in the quiz is
- 20:33definitely the calcium-based antacids.
- 20:35The reason is because it neutralizes the
- 20:37stomach acids and then the parietal
- 20:39cells go overtime trying to get the
- 20:42stomach acid back to normal. And
- 20:44inevitably, that results in a short-term
- 20:46hyperacidity.
- 20:49Okay, yeah. Just make sure that you
- 20:50mention calcium-based antacids and
- 20:52homeostasis and you're about
- 20:54three-quarters of the way there for that
- 20:56question.
