This resource covers high-yield Advanced Pharmacology concepts including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, teratogenesis, pregnancy and lactation pharmacology, pediatric pharmacology, geriatric pharmacology, antimicrobial therapy, antibiotic classifications, mechanisms of action, bacterial resistance, penicillins, beta-lactam antibiotics, cephalosporins, MRSA, antimicrobial stewardship, and medication safety. What You Will Find NURS 5334 Advanced Pharmacology Module 2 exam-focused questions Questions with corresponding answers and rationales High-yield pharmacology concepts organized for efficient review Pregnancy and breastfeeding medication considerations Teratogen identification and fetal drug effects Pediatric pharmacokinetics and medication safety Geriatric pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic changes Antimicrobial classifications and mechanisms of action Bactericidal vs bacteriostatic medications Antibiotic resistance mechanisms Penicillin and cephalosporin pharmacology MRSA and healthcare-associated infections Empiric and prophylactic antimicrobial therapy Drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion Adverse drug reactions and high-risk populations Medication mechanisms, contraindications, and clinical considerations Major Topics Covered Pregnancy & Lactation Pharmacology: teratogens, critical periods of fetal development, placental drug transfer, pregnancy-related pharmacokinetic changes, adverse drug reactions during pregnancy, breastfeeding medication safety, drug half-life, and minimizing infant exposure. Pediatric Pharmacology: neonatal drug absorption, gastric acidity, IM and transdermal absorption, blood-brain barrier development, hepatic metabolism, renal excretion, pediatric dosing, BSA-based dosing, adverse drug reactions, and developmental pharmacology. Geriatric Pharmacology: age-related changes in absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion, reduced renal function, decreased hepatic metabolism, altered protein binding, polypharmacy, drug accumulation, therapeutic index, medication adherence, and increased adverse drug reaction risk. Antimicrobial Pharmacology: antibiotic classifications, cell-wall synthesis inhibitors, cell-membrane agents, protein-synthesis inhibitors, nucleic-acid synthesis inhibitors, antimetabolites, antiviral agents, bactericidal medications, bacteriostatic medications, antimicrobial resistance, superinfections, and antimicrobial stewardship. Beta-Lactam Antibiotics: penicillins, beta-lactamase inhibitors, amoxicillin, ampicillin, penicillin G, penicillin V, oxacillin, nafcillin, dicloxacillin, piperacillin, clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam, Augmentin, Unasyn, and Zosyn. Cephalosporins & Resistance: beta-lactam antibiotics, bacterial resistance mechanisms, MRSA, healthcare-associated MRSA, community-associated MRSA, NDM-1, bacterial mutations, conjugation, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and antimicrobial resistance prevention.

identification of teratogens difficult to identify, 3 criteria must be met:


1. The agent must be present during the critical stage of
development
2. The agent produces a particular pattern of birth defects in
animal studies.
3.The agent crosses the placenta and there is a dose-response
relationship.

3 stages of teratogenesis development 1. conception through week 2
2.embryonic period week 3-8 = gross malformations
3.fetal period week 9-delivery = functions disrupted w/ teratogen
exposure

physiologic changes during pregnancy & drug - 3rd trimester = renal blood doubles, renal excretion accelerated
impact - tone and mobility of bowel decreases -> prolongation of drug effects




placental drug transfer all drugs can cross the placenta, some cross more easily than others


adverse reactions during pregnancy can adversely affect both pregnant pt and fetus
- heparin -> osteoporosis
- prostaglandins -> stimulate uterine contraction
- some pain relievers can be used during delivery can cause
respiratory depression in baby


teratogenesis birth defects gross malformations = cleft palate, clubfoot, hydrocephalus


neurobehavioral & metabolic anomalies


responding to teratogen exposure Determine when the drug was taken


Determine when the pregnancy began
-Weeks 3-8 (organogenesis) is most crucial time


Determine type of malformation expected


Conduct 2 US and consult FDA to determine severity



how to decrease risk of drug effects during - take drugs immediately after breastfeeding
breastfeeding - avoid drugs w/ long half-lives
- choose drugs that tend to be excluded from milk, least likely to
affect infant
- avoid hazardous drugs

pediatric response to drugs - more sensitive to drugs
- greater individual variation
- sensitivity d/t organ system immaturity
- increased risk for adverse rxns
