Study Notes
Examination Overview
- The FPGEE includes various question formats to assess candidates' pharmacy knowledge.
- A tutorial is available at the testing center to help candidates understand question formats and response submission.
Multiple-Choice Questions
- The Varicella vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine contraindicated for immunocompromised patients due to potential serious complications.
- Alternative vaccines like Pneumococcal polysaccharide, Meningococcal conjugate, and Subcutaneous influenza are generally safe for immunocompromised individuals as they are not live vaccines.
Multiple-Response Questions
- When counseling patients on oral tacrolimus, pharmacists should inform them:
- Avoid live virus vaccinations, as tacrolimus suppresses the immune system.
- Grapefruit and grapefruit juice should be avoided as they can increase tacrolimus levels, risking side effects.
- Medication levels must be monitored due to tacrolimus’ narrow therapeutic index.
- If a dose is missed, do not double up; take the missed dose as soon as remembered or skip it if nearing the next dose.
- Alcohol consumption should be avoided to reduce the risk of liver toxicity and other adverse effects.
Constructed-Response Questions
- For griseofulvin oral suspension (125 mg/5 mL), to determine how much to dispense:
- Calculate total daily dose: Prescribed 250 mg twice daily = 500 mg total.
- Determine milliliters needed per dose: For 250 mg, use the ratio (250 mg / 125 mg) × 5 mL = 10 mL needed per dose.
- After two weeks (14 days), the total volume to dispense would be 10 mL × 28 doses = 280 mL.
