Roger Is a Scientist Who Is Developing a New Drug

question 7

Multiple Choice

Roger is a scientist who is developing a new drug to cure cancer. He lists five possible ways in which the drug might fail. He ranks the severity of the consequences of each failure, the likelihood of each failure's occurrence, and the ease of detection of each failure on a scale of 1 to 10. In the context of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, which of the following failures has the highest Risk Priority Number (RPN) ?

• A) Failure one with a severity of 4, a likelihood of 4, and an ease of detection of 7
• B) Failure two with a severity of 7, a likelihood of 5, and an ease of detection of 2
• C) Failure three with a severity of 8, a likelihood of 4, and an ease of detection of 4
• D) Failure four with a severity of 5, a likelihood of 5, and an ease of detection of 6
• E) Failure five with a severity of 2, a likelihood of 4, and an ease of detection of 7

Definitions:

Glucose Transporter

Proteins located in cell membranes that assist in the transport of glucose molecules into and out of cells, facilitating the use of glucose for energy.

Facilitated Diffusion

A process of passive transport, with no energy consumption, where molecules move across a cellular membrane via protein channels.

Active Transport

The movement of substances across a cell membrane against a concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Bulk Flow

A movement of molecules from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure, typically referring to fluids and gases.
