NUR 314 Pharmacology Exam 1
4 process of pharmacokinetics - ANS -absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion
\Absorption of medications (pharmacokinetics) - ANS -Process of movement from its site of administration, across
membranes, to circulating fluids
\ac
ad lib
am
bid
cap - ANS -before meals
as desired, as directed
morning
twice a day
capsule
\Addition drug-drug interaction - ANS -Combining drugs gives you the effect of what you'd expect 1 drug to have.
The action of drugs taken together as a total
\Adolescents and pharmacotherapy - ANS -- Between ages 13 and 16 years old
- Need support, approval, and presence
- Educate about
Hazards of tobacco and substance abuse
Sexual intercourse
Eating disorders
- Provide important medication information
- Allow time for questions
- Allow privacy and control
\Agonists - ANS -drugs that produces same type of response as an endogenous (naturally produced) substance.
Sometimes can produce a greater maximal response
, \Antagonist - ANS -Drug blocks receptors and prevents endogenous chemical from acting. Often compete with agonist for
receptor binding sites
\Apothecary system - ANS -Older system of measurement that uses drams; rarely used.
\ASAP - ANS -As soon as possibe. Within 30 minutes
\Assessment phase in drug administration - ANS -Gather health history
Physical health assessment: vital signs, weight, height, labs, head to toe
\Bioavaliability - ANS -How much is of a drug is needed to make an active effect in the body
\Buccal - ANS -Cheek. Preferred for sustained delivery (less permeable= slower absorption than SL) Bypass the first pass
effect.
\Chemical Name - ANS -chemical formula for a drug. Least used name for drugs
\Describe the relationship between therapeutic and pharmacological classification - ANS -Pharmacological reaction is how
the therapeutic reaction takes place
\Diagnostic phase in drug administration - ANS -Diagnosis should address one of these areas:
Promote therapeutic drug affects
Minimizing adverse drug effects and toxicity
Maximizing pt ability for self care
\Displacement Drug-drug interaction - ANS -When drugs are taken together, one drug may shift another drug at a
non-specific protein binding site, which alters the desired effect
\Distribution of medications (pharmacokinetics) - ANS -involves transport of drugs throughout the body
amount of blood flow (perfusion) to body tissues determines the drugs ability to distribute properly
Bone marrow, teeth, eyes, and adipose tissue are strongly attracted to certain meds
\Distribution: Drug Protein complexes - ANS -Once a drug binds to protein, it is inactive and can not pass the capillary wall
When there are no protein left to bind to, drugs can pass through capillary wall and distribute to body tissues
\Dosage alterations for medications going through same metabolic pathways - ANS -Lower dosages so the pathway does
not get overwhelmed
\Dosage alterations for people with lower kidney function - ANS -Lower dosages because the concentration in the blood
stream and length of action will be longer
\Dosage alterations in multiple medications with high protein affinity - ANS -If multiple medications are fighting for the
same amount of protein, more will make it through the capillary walls.
