NUR2474 Pharmacology Study Guide with Complete Solutions
Enternal - Answer✔️✔️-referring to a route of medication administration that uses
the gastrointestinal tract, such as swallowing a pill
Parenteral - Answer✔️✔️-outside of intestines or alimentary canal; popularly used to
refer to injection routes
Topical - Answer✔️✔️-applied to the surface of the skin and seems into the
epidermis
trasndermal - Answer✔️✔️-Crossing through the skin down into the bloodstream
Pharmacokinetics - Answer✔️✔️-the study of drug movement throughout the body
Phases are: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination.
Absorption - Answer✔️✔️-The process by which nutrient molecules pass through
the wall of the digestive system into the blood
half-life - Answer✔️✔️-The amount of time for half of the drug to be metabolized
away.

Distribution - Answer✔️✔️-It is the transfer of a drug from one location to another
within the body. Once a drug enters into systemic circulation by absorption or
direct administration, it must be distributed into interstitial and intracellular fluids.
Metabolism - Answer✔️✔️-Drug metabolism is the metabolic breakdown of drugs
by living organisms, usually through specialized enzymatic systems.
Excretion - Answer✔️✔️-Process by which metabolic wastes (drugs and drug waste
products, too) are eliminated from the body
onset - Answer✔️✔️-The time elapsed from the administration of the drug to the
start of its effects. The amount of time it takes between the drug being administered
and the drug having a beginning therapeutic effect.
peak level - Answer✔️✔️-The maximum concentration of a drug in the body after
administration can be measured in a blood sample or calculated for therapeutic
drug monitoring.
Duration of action - Answer✔️✔️-The length of time the concentration of a drug in
the blood or tissues is sufficient to elicit a response. The length of time a drug will
be at or above the therapeutic level.
