What does the nurse review when studying the impact a drug has on
the body?
he drug's pharmacodynamics
The nurse teaches a patient not to consume alcohol with nitroglycerin,
because blood pressure often drops significantly when nitroglycerin is
taken with alcohol. Which drug property does this illustrate?
Drug Interaction
Prior to administering drug X to treat a patient's high blood pressure,
the nurse reviews information about the drug. The nurse finds that it
reduces blood pressure without serious harmful effects, but it also
causes the patient to have nausea and a headache. Based on this
information, which property of an ideal drug is this drug lacking?
selectivity (more selective a drug=less side effects/adverse effects)
Characteristics unique to each patient can influence pharmacokinetic
and pharmacodynamic processes. What characteristics may determine
the patient's response to a drug? Select all that apply.

Pharmacotherapeutics
how drugs produce effects, both therapeutic, and adverse reactions,
reasons and rationales
A patient is given an opioid analgesic their RR is 8, HR is 82, and BP
120/78. What nursing intervention would you do?
-give naloxene to reverse opiod effects because pt's respiratory was
extremely low.
Medication error
can harm the patient and can be potentially fatal ( you must first assess
the patient, make sure his condition is stabilized, let a supervisor know
or HCP, and file an incident report)
If your protein(albumin) levels are low what happens to the drug in
your body?
drug is free in body which can lead to toxicity of drug accumulation
If two drugs are competing for the same protein receptor or other
receptor what happens?
-the one with the stronger affinity/dose is bound to the receptor which
leads for the other drug to move freely around the body.
