Pharmacology-- NU 578--Unit 1--#2
2025/2026 Exam Questions and Verified
Answers | Already Graded A+
Full term - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔36-40 weeks gestation
Ganglionic blocking agents - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Interrupt impulse transmission
through ganglia of the autonomic nervous system. They do this by
competing with Ach for binding to nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia.
Generic name - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Assigned by US Adopted Names Council. -
each drug has only ONE -aka nonproprietary name or US Adopted Name
Glomerular filtration - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Moves drugs from the blood into the
tubular urine within the glomerulus of the Bowman's capsule.
,Half life - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The time it takes for a drug to be 50% of its
original concentration in the body. The time required for the amount of dug
in the body to decrease by 50%.
Hepatic metabolism - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Is low in newborns.
Hepatic microsomal enzyme system - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔a.k.a. P450 system
which an enzyme system consisting of 12 closely enzyme families in the
liver involved with metabolizing drugs. Cyochrome P450 is a key
component of the system. These enzymes are capable of catalyzing a wide
variety of reactions using drugs as substrate.
Hepatotoxic drugs - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Drugs that cause injury to the liver.
Patients taking these should have liver function tests to check liver
enzymes: aspartate aminotransferase (AST, formerly known as SGOT) and
alanine aminotransferase (ALT, formerly known as SGPT).
Iatrogenic disease - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A disease produced by drugs.
Idiosyncratic effect - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔An uncommon drug response resulting
from a genetic predisposition.
, Inactivation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Drug metabolism can convert
pharmacologically active compounds to inactive forms.
Induction - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The process of stimulating liver enzyme
synthesis to increase the drug-metabolizing capacity of the liver.
Infants - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔weeks 5-52
Intramuscular administration - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Absorption pattern: rapidly or
slowly depending on the water solubility of the drug and blood flow to the
site
Advantages to IM administration - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Administration of poorly
soluble drugs, administration of depot preparations which absorb slowly.
Barriers to IM administration - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔capillary walls
Disadvantages to IM administration - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Discomfort and
inconvenience, can't be used on patients on anticoagulant therapy.
IM administration - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Slow & erratic in neonates, rapid in
infants.
IV adminstration - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Absorption pattern: instantaneous and
complete
