consequences?
Correct Answer
1st trimester (fetus most at risk d/t rapid growth)
Question 2
What is BEERS criteria?
Correct Answer
Recommendations of medications inappropriate for elderly (65 and older), prescriber ultimately decides
Question 3
What is the CYP450 (cytochrome P450)
Correct Answer
liver enzyme system where medications are metabolized, can either be inducers or inhibitors and create drug-drug
interactions
Question 4
CYP450 inducers

Correct Answer
Barbituates, St John wort, Carbamazepine, rifampin, alcohol, phenytoin, griseofulvin, phenobarbital, sulfonylureas
Question 7
CYP450 inhibitors
Correct Answer

Question 9
CYP450 inhibitors drug names
Correct Answer
Valproate, isoniazid, sulfonamides, amiodarone, chloramphenicol, ketoconazole, grapefruit juice, quinidine
Question 10
Physiological changes during pregnancy that impact pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic properties of drugs?
Correct Answer
increase glomerular filtration rate leads to increase durg excretion
increase hepatic metabolism
decrease tone and motility of bowel
increase drug absorption
Question 11
Examples of medications that can be teratogenic
Correct Answer
Antiepileptic drugs, antimicrobials such as tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones, vitamin A in large doses, some
anticoagulants, and hormonal medications such as diethylstilbestrol (DES).
Question 12
How is absorption of intramuscular medications different in neonates?
Correct Answer
slow and erratic due to low blood flow in muscles first few days of life
Question 13
Why is absorption of medication in the stomach increased in infancy?
Correct Answer
delayed gastric emptying
Question 14
Some medications that should be avoided in the pediatric patient?
Correct Answer

, Question 15
what should be included in medication administration patient education?
Correct Answer
dosage size and timing
route and technique of administration
duration of treatment
drug storage
nature and time course of desired responses
nature and time course of adverse responses
finish taking antibiotic
Question 16
What are some things that put the elderly patient at higher risk for adverse drug reactions?
Correct Answer
reduced renal function
polypharmacy (the use of five or more medications daily)
greater severity of illness
presence of comorbidities
use of drugs that have a low therapeutic index (e.g., digoxin)
increased individual variation secondary to altered pharmacokinetics
inadequate supervision of long-term therapy
poor patient adherence
Question 17
How can healthcare providers decrease likelihood of an elderly patient experiencing an adverse drug reaction?
Correct Answer
obtaining a thorough drug history that includes over-the-counter medications
considering pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics changes due to age
monitoring the patient's clinical response and plasma drug levels
using the simplest regimen possible
monitoring for drug-drug interactions and iatrogenic illness
periodically reviewing the need for continued drug therapy
encouraging the patient to dispose of old medications
taking steps to promote adherence and to avoid drugs on the Beers list
