[KD Tripathi] MCQ's in Pharmacology.pdf

Preface:

Because of their reliability and objective nature the
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) are widely used in
entrance tests, competitive examinations and at some
places in certifying examinations. However, MCQ items
have been criticized mostly for their lack of relevance
to the core or essential learning objectives, because
they mostly tend to emphasize on the rare or the
unusual. It is therefore of utmost importance to induct
MCQ items which test knowledge, understanding and
application ability of the student in relevant areas.
This book attempts to introduce a series of MCQs in
Pharmacology and Therapeutics in topics which cover
important learning objectives.
MCQs are also an important method of self study
and self assessment. An overwhelming amount of
detailed information about an ever increasing number
of drugs is now available. A mental exercise in the
considerations that underlie choice of one drug over
the other in specific situations has to be practised.
Solving MCQs could help crystallization and assimilation
of the fundamental Pharmacological principles
as well as factual information about drugs needed for
their safe and effective use. This purpose is best served
if the MCQs relate to the text that the student has been
using for study.
With the above objectives, a MCQs book based on
the 3rd edition of the textbook ‘Essentials of Medical
Pharmacology’ written by me was published in 1996.
This was enlarged and improved in the year 2000
based on the 4th edition of the textbook. The success
of the earlier two editions of the MCQs book in achieving
its objectives has encouraged undertaking a similar
endeavour based on the revised and updated 5th
edition (2003) of the textbook. In preparing this edition,
all earlier MCQ items were reconsidered in the light of
new knowledge as well as changed therapeutic scenario,
and suitably modified/improved or deleted. About 300
new MCQ items have been added. However, all items
are of the most popular 'one best response' type and
the format has not been changed. The MCQs are
numbered chapterwise and the page number of the
book which provides answer to the subject matter of
the MCQ item is given after each item for quick
reference. It is advised that after studying a chapter,
the student answers the MCQs and then finds out for
himself what all he has learnt correctly, what he
missed, and what has been understood incorrectly.
Used in this manner the present book will facilitate
acquisition of relevant and clear-cut knowledge about
drugs.
