NURS 5334 ADVANCED PHARMACOLOGY TEST
1 EXAM LATEST VERSION
Define Pharmacokinetics - Answer The body's ANSWER to medications. How
much of an administered dosage reaches its intended locations of action?
Four major pharmacokinetic processes - ANSWER Drug absorption, distribution,
metabolism, and excretion.
Define Pharmacodynamics: ANSWER The effect of medications on the body. The
nature and severity of the medication reaction.
There are two key areas where you can utilize your pharmacological expertise. -
ANSWER: Patient care and education.
Seven characteristics of pharmacological therapy. - ANSWER Pre-administration
assessment, dose, and administration, evaluating and encouraging therapeutic
outcomes, limiting unwanted effects, and adverse reactions, making "as needed"
(PRN) decisions, and toxicity management.
Pre-administration assessment - ANSWER Three main objectives: gathering
baseline data for evaluating therapeutic and unfavorable reactions, identifying
high-risk patients, and assessing the patient's competence for self-care.
To assist reduce unwanted effects, you must know—ANSWER The drug's
principal side effects when they are likely to occur, early warning signals that an
adverse reaction is developing, and measures that can reduce discomfort and harm.
PRN - ANSWER pro re nata, a Latin word which means as needed
Nursing process - ADPIE - Assessment, analysis (diagnosis), planning,
implementation, and evaluation.
, Complete nursing diagnosis: ANSWER A summary of the patient's real or possible
health problem, a statement of the problem's likely cause or risk factors, and any
signs, symptoms, or other proof of the problem. Statements are separated by
phrases linked to and evidenced by.
ANSWER: The objective of Drug Therapy Produce maximal advantage with
minimal risk.
Pre-administration assessment - ANSWER Determine the baseline data required to
adapt pharmacological therapy to the individual.
Pre-administration assessment objectives - ANSWER Baseline data collection is
required to evaluate therapeutic benefits, and side effects, identify high-risk
patients, and assess the patient's capacity for self-care.
Containment - Answer A prior condition that prevents the use of a specific
medicine in all but the most essential conditions.
Precaution - Answer A preexisting condition that considerably raises the likelihood
of a bad reaction to a certain medicine, but not to the point where it is
life-threatening.
Pharmacokinetics - ANSWER 1: Absorption 2. Distribution. 3. Metabolism 4.
Elimination.
"Body affecting drugs"
Absorption: ANSWER The enteral pathway involves the GI system (oral).
Parenteral route: IV, IM.
Transdermal means through the skin.
