1. Which term best describes a synthetic drug?

• A. man-made
• B. phony
• C. atypical
• D. futile

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A synthetic drug is one that is artificially created in a laboratory setting rather than occurring naturally. The term 'man-made' accurately describes this process. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Phony' means fake or fraudulent, not specifically related to synthetic drugs. 'Atypical' means unusual or not typical, which doesn't directly relate to how synthetic drugs are made. 'Futile' means pointless or ineffective, which is not a characteristic of synthetic drugs.

2. What does alimentary mean?

• A. Related to nourishment
• B. Related to outflow
• C. Related to simplicity
• D. Related to protection

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'alimentary' is used to describe things that are related to nourishment or the process of providing food or nourishment. It is often associated with the digestive system and the intake of food. Therefore, the correct answer is A: Related to nourishment. Choice B, 'Related to outflow,' is incorrect because alimentary is not associated with outflow but rather with intake. Choice C, 'Related to simplicity,' and choice D, 'Related to protection,' are unrelated to the meaning of alimentary.

3. To censure something is to __________.

• A. inspect it
• B. denounce it
• C. admire it
• D. overlook it

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To censure something means to criticize or express strong disapproval of it. When something is censured, it is condemned or denounced for its actions or behavior. 'Inspect it' (Choice A) means to examine closely, 'admire it' (Choice C) means to regard with respect or warm approval, and 'overlook it' (Choice D) means to fail to notice or consider something. These choices do not align with the meaning of censure, making 'denounce it' (Choice B) the correct answer.

• A. shows flexibility
• B. receives criticism
• C. meets requirements
• D. has been disciplined

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When a pharmacy is in compliance, it means that it is meeting all the necessary requirements in terms of regulations, standards, and guidelines. Compliance indicates that the pharmacy is following the established rules and procedures to ensure the safety and quality of its services, products, and operations. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because compliance does not imply flexibility, criticism, or discipline; rather, it signifies adherence to set regulations and standards.

5. A symptom that is exacerbated is ____?

• A. Improving
• B. Made worse
• C. Stayed the same
