Which of the following does NOT cause tolerance to a drug? A: Changes in receptors and signaling pathways B: Learning/behavioral factors C: Decreased kidney function D: Increased activity of liver enzymes

Step 1
Drug tolerance refers to the body's reduced response to a drug over time, even when the same dose is maintained. This can occur due to various physiological and behavioral changes. Show more…

Question 50 Which of the following are true of pharmacokinetic (PK) tolerance? A drug produces effects that reduce its own bioavailability through liver enzyme induction The peak effect and duration of action of a drug are increased as a result of this tolerance There is a greater concentration of drug at target site due to increased bioavailability B and C Question 51 The main issue with the depressant vs. stimulant classification is: A drug that is classified as a stimulant can have depressant effects on behavior A drug that is prescribed for depression may also treat anxiety A minor change in the structure of the drug molecule can change its effect All of the above apply

Which of the following is true of general pharmacodynamic tolerance? It requires the drug to create a functional disturbance, placing homeostatic demand on the organism All effects of the drug are diminished to the same extent because there is reduced bioavailability of drug at target site If upregulation or downregulation of a ligand system occurs, all effects of drug will be diminished Tolerance to a specific effect of the drug may develop independently from other effects of the drug.
