NUR2474 Pharmacology
Enternal Right Ans - referring to a route of medication administration that
uses the gastrointestinal tract, such as swallowing a pill
Parenteral Right Ans - outside of intestines or alimentary canal; popularly
used to refer to injection routes
Topical Right Ans - applied to the surface of the skin and seems into the
epidermis
trasndermal Right Ans - Crossing through the skin down into the
bloodstream
Pharmacokinetics Right Ans - the study of drug movement throughout the
body Phases are: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination.
Absorption Right Ans - The process by which nutrient molecules pass
through the wall of the digestive system into the blood
half-life Right Ans - The amount of time for half of the drug to be
metabolized away.
Distribution Right Ans - It is the transfer of a drug from one location to
another within the body. Once a drug enters into systemic circulation by
absorption or direct administration, it must be distributed into interstitial and
intracellular fluids.
, Metabolism Right Ans - Drug metabolism is the metabolic breakdown of
drugs by living organisms, usually through specialized enzymatic systems.
Excretion Right Ans - Process by which metabolic wastes (drugs and drug
waste products, too) are eliminated from the body
onset Right Ans - The time elapsed from the administration of the drug to
the start of its effects. The amount of time it takes between the drug being
administered and the drug having a beginning therapeutic effect.
peak level Right Ans - The maximum concentration of a drug in the body
after administration can be measured in a blood sample or calculated for
therapeutic drug monitoring.
Duration of action Right Ans - The length of time the concentration of a
drug in the blood or tissues is sufficient to elicit a response. The length of time
a drug will be at or above the therapeutic level.
trough level Right Ans - The lowest concentration of drug reached in the
body after it falls from its peak level, usually measured in a blood sample for
therapeutic drug monitoring. Please note: "Draw a trough right before the
next dose."
First Pass Effect Right Ans - The initial metabolism in the liver of a drug
absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract before the drug reaches systemic
circulation through the bloodstream.
