AND VERIFIED CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADED A+
Pediatric pharmacokinetics: excretion - CORRECT ANSWER-Infants have decreased renal blood
flow & glomerular filtration rate -> drug buildup
Nursing implications of pediatric drug administration - CORRECT ANSWER-Considering
developmental and cognitive differences
Maintaining safety while ensuring comfort
Family-centered care
Nursing implications: older adult - CORRECT ANSWER-Adherence: patient may not fully
understand drug regimen
4 processes of pharmacokinetics - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Absorption
2. Distribution
3. Metabolism
, 4. Excretion
Absorption - CORRECT ANSWER-The movement of the drug into the bloodstream after
administration
Dissolution - CORRECT ANSWER-A process where a drug in a solid form disintegrates into small
particles and combines with a liquid to form a solution
Rate of dissolution - CORRECT ANSWER-The time it takes the drug to disintegrate and dissolve
to become available for the body to absorb
Drug absorption is slower for - CORRECT ANSWER-very young and very old adults because they
have less gastric acidity
Enteric-coated drugs - CORRECT ANSWER-resist disintegration in the gastric acid of the
stomach, so disintegration does not occur until the drug reaches the alkaline environment of
the small intestine.
Never crush!!
Most oral drugs are absorbed in - CORRECT ANSWER-the small intestine through passive
transport, active transport, or pinocytosis
Passive transport - CORRECT ANSWER-Occurs through diffusion + facilitated diffusion and does
not require energy to move drugs across the membrane
Active transport - CORRECT ANSWER-Requires a carrier in the form of an enzyme or protein to
move the drug against the concentration gradient
