NURS 216A Midterm UPDATED ACTUAL Questions
and CORRECT Answers
drugs/medications chemical agents
biologics naturally produced in animal cells
ex. hormones, antibodies, blood products, genetic
treatment modalitites
Natural Health Products NHP naturally occurring, many used as an adjunct
ex. vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, protein
powders, licorice
ex. chamomile tea binds GABBA producing the
same effect as Xanax
Drug names: Chemical chemical composition is the drug's name... this is
assigned by IUPAC
,Drug names: Generic - describes the drug without proprietary affiliation
- assigned name, international nonproprietary
name
- consistent internationally
- one generic name per drug
used on NCLEX
Drug names: Brand/Trade - named by the manufacturing company
many trade names per drug
often the 1st drug to market, patent protected 20
years
- "trendsetter drug"
Schedule I drugs available only by prescription by pharmacist
and/or doctor
- all prescription drugs
- drugs with potential for abuse
- controlled drugs (ex. medical cannabis)
- Narcotics
Schedule II drugs Available from pharmacist, retained in an area with
no public access
ex. high potency iron, ferrous sulfate, Tylenol 1-4
Schedule III drugs Open access in the pharmacy area, over the
counter
Ex. Nyquil, recreational cannabis
Unscheduled drugs can be sold in any store without professional
supervision
ex. Advil
, Administration routes • Oral (PO) + via inserted tubes: NG, NJ, ...
• Sublingual (SL)
• Intranasal (insufflation)
• Inhalation + via ET tube
• Topical
• Intravenous (IV)
• Intramuscular (IM)
• Subcutaneous (SC)
• Transdermal (TD)
Rectal (PR)
Parenteral (meaning and examples) injectable drug preparations (IV, IM, SC, TD
injections, epidural, spinal)
10 rights of drug administration - drug, patient, dose, route, time, documentation,
history, consent, interactions, education
Pharmacokinetics PK - motions of drugs across cell membranes via lipid
bilayer
- adme
Pharmacodynamics PD - receptor binding and affinity
- increase or suppression of existing processes
- antagonist - only blocks the receptor, no efficacy
PKPD are impacted by... Molecular characteristics
Charge (ionization)
Lipophilicity vs hydrophilicity
Size
Membrane transport
Passive... diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion
Active transport (requires ATP)
