Pharmacodynamics - (CORRECT ANSWER)The process by which a medication works on the
body.
Pharmacokinetics - (CORRECT ANSWER)The process by which drugs are absorbed,
distributed within the body, metabolized, and excreted.
Pharmacogenomics - (CORRECT ANSWER)The study of the influence of genetic factors on
drug response that result in the absence, overabundance, or insufficiency of drug-metabolizing
enzymes
Medication side effect - (CORRECT ANSWER)a nearly unavoidable secondary effect of a drug
produced at therapeutic doses which is generally predictable and with an intensity that is dose-
dependent
Adverse Effect - (CORRECT ANSWER)A drug-induced, secondary effect of a drug that
produces a change in a patients condition that is noxious, harmful or unpleasant, which requires
treatment or reduction or discontinuation of the drug and which usually occurs at therapeutic
doses.
Type A adverse drug reactions - (CORRECT ANSWER)exaggerated, but otherwise expected
pharmacological effect of a drug -> predictable and dose dependent -> ex. toxicity of overdose,
side effects, secondary effects, drug interactions
Type B adverse drug reactions - (CORRECT ANSWER)idiosyncratic effects (not expected) ->
dose independent and unpredictable -> intolerance, hypersensitivity, pseudo allergic,
idiosyncratic
Drug tolerance - (CORRECT ANSWER)the tendency for larger doses of a drug to be required
over time to achieve the same effect
1
,Physical drug dependence - (CORRECT ANSWER)condition where a person's body becomes
unable to function normally without a particular drug
Psychological dependence - (CORRECT ANSWER)a condition in which a person believes that a
drug is needed in order to feel good or to function normally
Allergic reaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)An immunologic hypersensitivity reaction resulting
from the unusual sensitivity of a patient to a particular medication; a type of adverse drug event.
Idiosyncratic or paradoxical reaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)When a drug may cause a totally
unexpected and often opposite effect in a few patients
Carcinogenic reaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)medications and environmental chemicals that
are thought to cause cancer
Teratogenic reaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)Refers to the drug induced damage that develops
in the fetus
Beneficial potentiative drug-drug interaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)Aspirin and Codeine are
both analgesic drugs and when administered concurrently the combo provides better pain relief
than either one alone. What type of drug interaction is this?
Beneficial Potentiative Drug-Drug Interaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)Use of Beta Blockers
and Diuretics together for hypertension will provide better control blood pressure. What type of
drug interaction is this?
Harmful potentiative Drug-Drug interaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)Use of diazepam together
with Morphine will have additive CNS depression and could lead to respiratory distress. What
type of drug interaction is this?
2
, Harmful potentiative Drug-Drug interaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)Concurrent use of aspirin
with Coumadin will significantly increase each others inhibitory effects on blood coagulation,
resulting in an increase risk for bleeding. What type of drug interaction is this?
Beneficial inhibitory drug interaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)Use of Naloxone after an
overdose of Meperidine is an example of what type of drug interaction?
Beneficial inhibitory drug interaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)Giving Protamine when there is
excessive bleeding from overdose of Heparin is an example of what type of drug interaction?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)Giving Naloxone to a patient who
is physically dependent to Morphine will reverse Morphines effects provoking an acute
withdrawal syndrome. What type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)Administering loperamide and
Milk of Magnesia together will cancel each others actions producing no benefit for the patient
either way. What type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - (CORRECT ANSWER)Injecting NPH insulin into a bottle
of regular insulin causing a precipitate and inactivation of the regular insulin is an example of
what type of drug interaction?
Pharmacokinetic Drug interctions - (CORRECT ANSWER)type of drug-drug interaction that
occurs when the pharmacokinetics of one drug alter the clinical effects of another drug by
altering its pharmacokinetics
Thiazide Diuretics - (CORRECT ANSWER)act in the distal tubule to block the reabsorption of
the filtered load of NaCl from the nephron back to the blood. They have a natriuretic effect and
promote renal excretion of sodium and water. The amount of water in the blood is then
decreased which decreases stroke volume and cardiac output therefore decreasing blood
pressure.
