NUR 370 Exam Questions with Correct Answers 100% Solved
(FDA) Food and Drug Administration - ✔✔Regulates development and
sale of drugs in US.
Absorption - ✔✔Affected by the route of administration (oral,
intramuscular, intravascular, etc)
Absorption - ✔✔what happens to a drug from the time it enters the
body until it enters the circulating fluid; intravenous administration
causes the drug to directly enter the circulating blood, bypassing the
many complications of absorption from other routes
Active Transport - ✔✔the movement of ions or molecules across a cell
membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes
and requiring energy.
Adverse Effects - ✔✔Drug effects sometimes called side effects, that
are not the desired therapeutic effects; may be unpleasant or even
dangerous
Agonist Interaction - ✔✔Drug A: agonist that bind to receptor sites
and produces an effect; Drug B cannot bind to receptor sites on this
cell and produces no effect
,Altered Glucose Metabolism - ✔✔hypoglycemia (low serum blood
glucose level). Interventions include restoring glucose to body with
D50
hyperglycemia (high serum glucose level). Interventions include
administering medications to decrease glucose levels (insulin)
Apothecary System - ✔✔a very old system of measure that was
specifically developed for use by apothecaries or pharmacists; it uses
the minim as the basic unit of liquid measure and the grain as the
basic unit of solid measure
Assessment - ✔✔information gathering regarding the current status
of a particular patient, including evaluation of past history and
physical examination; provides a baseline of information and clues to
effectiveness of therapy
biotransfermation - ✔✔The liver is the single most important site for
biotransformation (metabolism). This process breaks down
medications: oxidizes, hydrolyzes, makes things water soluble and
more easily excreted. It helps to prevent medications from causing
adverse effects on the body. First pass effect.
Blood dyscrasia - ✔✔bone marrow depression caused by drug effects
on the rapidly multiplying cells of the bone marrow; lower than
normal levels of blood components can be seen
, Brand Name - ✔✔Name given to a drug by the pharmaceutical
company that developed it; also called Trade Name or Proprietary
Name
Chemical Name - ✔✔Name that reflects the chemical structure of a
drug
Chemotherapeutic Agents - ✔✔synthetic chemicals used to interfere
with the functioning of foreign cell populations; this term is
frequently used to refer to the drug therapy of neoplasms, but it also
refers to drug therapy affecting any foreign cell
Clark Rule - ✔✔A method of determining the correct drug dose for a
child based on the known adult dose
Competitive Antagonism - ✔✔Drug A agonist; Drug C an antagonist of
Drug A that. Bind to the same receptor sites as Drug A and prevent
Drug A from binding
Critical Concentration - ✔✔the concentration a drug must reach in the
tissues that respond to the particular drug to cause the desired
therapeutic effect
