NURS 617 PHARM LATEST UPDATED ACTUAL
FINAL 2024 EXAM WITH COMPLETE DETAILED
QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT VERIFIED
ANSWERS ALREADY A+ GRADED
Pharmacodynamics - ANSWER-The process by
which a medication works on the body.
Pharmacokinetics - ANSWER-The process by which
drugs are absorbed, distributed within the body,
metabolized, and excreted.
Pharmacogenomics - ANSWER-The study of the
influence of genetic factors on drug response that
result in the absence, overabundance, or
insufficiency of drug-metabolizing enzymes
Medication side effect - ANSWER-a nearly
unavoidable secondary effect of a drug produced at
,therapeutic doses which is generally predictable
and with an intensity that is dose-dependent
Adverse Effect - ANSWER-A drug-induced,
secondary effect of a drug that produces a change
in a patient condition that is noxious, harmful or
unpleasant, which requires treatment or reduction
or discontinuation of the drug and which usually
occurs at therapeutic doses.
Type A adverse drug reactions - ANSWER-
exaggerated, but otherwise expected
pharmacological effect of a drug -> predictable and
dose dependent -> ex. toxicity of overdose, side
effects, secondary effects, drug interactions
Type B adverse drug reactions - ANSWER-
idiosyncratic effects (not expected) -> dose
independent and unpredictable -> intolerance,
hypersensitivity, pseudo allergic, idiosyncratic
,Drug tolerance - ANSWER-the tendency for larger
doses of a drug to be required over time to achieve
the same effect
Physical drug dependence - ANSWER-condition
where a person's body becomes unable to function
normally without a particular drug
Psychological dependence - ANSWER-a condition in
which a person believes that a drug is needed in
order to feel good or to function normally
Allergic reaction - ANSWER-An immunologic
hypersensitivity reaction resulting from the unusual
sensitivity of a patient to a particular medication; a
type of adverse drug event.
, Idiosyncratic or paradoxical reaction - ANSWER-
When a drug may cause a totally unexpected and
often opposite effect in a few patients
Carcinogenic reaction - ANSWER-medications and
environmental chemicals that are thought to cause
cancer
Teratogenic reaction - ANSWER-Refers to the drug
induced damage that develops in the fetus
Beneficial potentiative drug-drug interaction -
ANSWER-Aspirin and Codeine are both analgesic
drugs and when administered concurrently the
combo provides better pain relief than either one
alone. What type of drug interaction is this?
Beneficial Potentiative Drug-Drug Interaction -
ANSWER-Use of Beta Blockers and Diuretics
together for hypertension will provide better
