PSY 627 CERTIFICATION SCRIPT 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
● Pharmacokinetics. Answer: the branch of pharmacology that concerns the absorption,
distribution, biotransformation, and excretion of drugs
● ADME. Answer: The four basic processes of Pharmacokinetics: Absorption, Distribution,
Metabolism, Excretion/Elimination
● Bioavailability of a drug. Answer: How much of the drug that is administered actually
reaches its target
● Time Course of Drug Responses. Answer: The amount of time required for the rise and
fall of the drug's concentration at the target site
● Drug Absorbtion. Answer: Processes and mechanisms by which drugs pass from the
external world into the bloodstream.
● Two Categories of Drug Administration. Answer: Enternal Routes - Involves GI Tract
Parenteral Routes - Does Not Involve GI Tract
● 6 Methods of Drug Administration. Answer: Enternal Routes - Oral, Rectal Parenteral
Routes - Injection, Inhalation, Absorption through Skin, Absorption through Mucous
Membranes
● Passive Diffusion. Answer: Passing from an area of high concentration into an area of
lower concentration
● First Pass Metabolism. Answer: Drug metabolism that occurs in the intestines and liver
during oral absorption before general circulation of the blood to the rest of the body.
● Safest and Easiest Route of Drug Administration. Answer: Oral (PO)
● Which category of drug administration avoids the GI tract and first pass metabolism.
Answer: Parenteral (Injection, Inhalation, Absorption through Skin and Absorption through
Mucous Membranes)
● Which method of drug administration produces the fastest drug effects?. Answer:
Inhalation (to the lungs)
