NURS 5334 Advanced Pharmacology EXAM
WITH WELL VERIFIED AND ELABORATED
ANSWERS!!
Define Pharmacokinetics - ANSWER☑️⭐-The impact of the body on drugs. How much of an administered
dose gets to its sites of action.
Four major pharmokinetic processes - ANSWER☑️⭐-Drug absorption, drug distribution, drug
metabolism, and drug excretion.
Define Pharmacodynamics - ANSWER☑️⭐-The impact of drugs on the body. The nature and intensity of
the response to the drug.
Two major areas in which you can apply pharmacologic knowledge. - ANSWER☑️⭐-Patient care and
patient education.
Seven aspects of drug therapy. - ANSWER☑️⭐-Pre administration assessment, dosage and
administration, evaluating and promoting therapeutic effects, minimizing adverse effects, minimizing
adverse reactions, making "as needed" (PRN) decisions, and managing toxicity.
Pre administration assessment - ANSWER☑️⭐-Three basic goals: collecting baseline data needed to
evaluate therapeutic and adverse responses, identifying high -risk patients, and assessing the patient's
capacity for self-care.
To help reduce adverse effects, you must know - ANSWER☑️⭐-The major adverse effects the drug can
produce, when these reactions are likely to occur, early signs that an adverse reaction is developing, and
interventions that can minimize discomfort and harm.
, PRN - ANSWER☑️⭐-pro re nata, a Latin phrase meaning as needed
Nursing process - ANSWER☑️⭐-ADPIE - Assessment, analysis (diagnosis), planning, implementation, and
evaluation.
Complete nursing diagnosis - ANSWER☑️⭐-A statement of the pt's actual or potential health problem, a
statement of the problem's probable cause or risk factors, and the signs, symptoms, or other evidence
of the problem. Statements are separated by the phrases related to and as evidenced by
Objective of drug therapy - ANSWER☑️⭐-Produce maximum benefit with minimum harm
Pre administration assessment - ANSWER☑️⭐-Establish the baseline data needed to tailor drug therapy
to the individual.
Pre administration assessment goals - ANSWER☑️⭐-Collection of baseline data needed to evaluate
therapeutic effects, collection of baseline data needed to evaluate adverse effects, identification of high-
risk patients, and assessment of the pt's capacity for self-care.
Containdication - ANSWER☑️⭐-A preexisting condition that precludes use of a particular drug under all
but the most critical of circumstances.
Precaution - ANSWER☑️⭐-A preexisting condition that significantly increases the risk of an adverse
reaction to a particular drug, but not to s degree that is life threatening.
Pharmacokinetics - ANSWER☑️⭐-1. Absorption 2. distribution 3. metabolism 4. elimination
"Body affecting drugs"
Absorption - ANSWER☑️⭐-Enteral route involves the GI system (oral)
Parenteral route = IV, IM
Transdermal = through the skin
Respiratory = droplet, inhalation
