What is how the drug moves through the body? - Pharmockinetics
What are the 4 different parts of pharmokinetics? - (1) absorption (2) excretion (3)
distribution (4) metabolism
What is the most common and safest route to receive medication? - Oral
What is the route of medication when taken orally? - (1) intestinal tract (2) portal

,PC 707 Module 1 questions and answers
Where does absorption primarily take place? - GI tract and small intestine
What is the pharmokinetic process of how much drug ends up in the body? -
Absorption
Because not all of the administered dosage may be dissolved or absorbed or
survive liver passage, only a fraction of an administered dosage makes it to the
bloodstream. This is called _______. - Bioavailability
What is the maximum blood level that is achieved following drug administration? -
Peak Blood Level
What is the process of moving drugs throughout the body? - Distribution
What protein do most drugs bind to? - Albumin
If a drug is all bound in protein, is it more or less available? - Less available
, PC 707 Module 1 questions and answers
If a patient has more protein binding, do you need to increase or decrease dosing
of the drug? - increase
Drugs that are ________ are not able to activate receptors unless they are free -
Protein bound
Stopping or starting a drug that binds to plasma protein changes the free drug
levels of other __________. - Protein bound drugs
What is a hypothetical value that reflects the volume in which a drug would need
to dissolved to explain the relationship between dosage and blood levels? -
Volume distribution
What is a drug that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a
biological response? - Agonist
What is a drug that binds to a receptor and does not allow a drug to bind thus
making the drug inactive? - Antagonist
Where are most drugs excreted? - Kidneys
