Pharmacokinetics - (ANSWER)The process of drug movement throughout the
body that is necessary
to achieve drug action
› Pharmacodynamics - (ANSWER)The study of the effects of drugs on the body
Pharmacogenetics - (ANSWER)The study of genetic factors that influence an
individual's response to
a specific drug
› 6 Rights of Medication Safety - (ANSWER)Right patient
- Right drug
- Right dose
- Right route
- Right time
- Right documentation
Chemical Name - (ANSWER)- Describes the chemical structure of the drug
› N-aceTYL-p-aminopheno
, 2
› Generic Name - (ANSWER)Official, nonproprietary name
Brand (Trade) Name - (ANSWER)Proprietary name
Generic Drugs - (ANSWER)› Must be approved by the FDA
› Same active ingredients as brand-name drug
› Usually less expensive
› May contain products that aid in providing the shape of the
tablets, control the timing of release in the body
› Health care provider must state on prescription whether a
generic drug can be substituted for the brand name drug
Over-the -Counter (OTC) Drugs - (ANSWER)Drugs that have been found safe and
appropriate for use
without the direct supervision of a health care provider

, 3
absorption - (ANSWER)the movement of the drug into the bloodstream after
administration
excipients - (ANSWER)Fillers and inert substances—such as simple syrup,
vegetable gums, aromatic powder, honey, and various elixirs
used in drug preparation to allow the drug to take on a particular size and shape
and to enhance drug dissolution
Enteric-coated (EC) drugs - (ANSWER)resist disintegration in the gastric acid of
the stomach
should not be crushed because crushing alters the place and time of absorption of
the drug
sustained-release (beaded) capsules - (ANSWER)should not be crushed
Bioavailability - (ANSWER)the percentage of administered drug available for
activity
orally administered drugs, bioavailability is affected by absorption and first-pass
metabolism
Factors that alter bioavailability - (ANSWER)e(1) drug form, such as tablet,
capsule, sustained-release beads, liquid, transdermal patch, suppository, or
inhalation;
(2) route of administration (e.g., enteral, topical, or parenteral);
