pharmacology - ANSthe study of the actions of drugs
drug classifications - ANSindicate effect of medication on body system
generic - ANS________ names are NOT capitalized (e.g., acetaminophen)
trade - ANS________ names are capitalized (e.g., Tylenol)
schedule - ANScontrolled substances are categorized by ___________ (I-V) based on their
therapeutic use and potential for abuse

drugs are considered schedule II?
LSD, marijuana, heroin, ecstacy - ANSwhat drugs are considered schedule I?
nursing process - ANSthe ___________ __________ is a systematic, rational, and continuous

or outcomes, intervention, and evaluation)
Right DRUG
Right PATIENT
Right DOSE
Right ROUTE
Right TIME
Right REASONS
Right DOCUMENTATION
Right RESPONSE - ANSwhat are the 8 rights of medication administration?
transfer - ANSmost medication errors occur during patient _________
subcutaneous injections - ANSmedication is absorbed more slowly -- administered at a 45° or
90° angle -- rotate injection sites
intramuscular injections - ANSused primarily for poorly soluble drugs and depot preparations --
muscle must be exposed and easy to access
intraosseous - ANSused when delivery speed is important -- access is through bone marrow
, intravenous - ANStypical __________ administrations include peripheral line and central venous
catheter
dosing - ANSincorrect ___________ is one of the most common problems related to IV
administration
inhaled medications - ANSprimarily used to treat respiratory disorders (asthma, COPD) --
metered-dose and dry-powder inhalers are the most common

another type of medication
transdermal - ANSmedication is spread or placed on skin
transmucosal - ANSmedication is introduced into areas of mucous membranes
small intestines - ANSabsorption of enteral drugs occurs most frequently in the ________
____________
pharmacodynamics - ANSwhat the drug does to the body
pharmacokinetics - ANSwhat the body does to the drug
absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion - ANSwhat are the four major pharmacokinetic
processes?
absorption - ANSmovement of a drug from its site of administration into the blood
distribution - ANSthe delivery of the drug into any and all body compartments it can penetrate
metabolism - ANSconversion of the drug into another substance or substances
excretion - ANSremoval of the drug from the body
agonist - ANSan _________ is a drug that has the ability to initiate the desired therapeutic effect
by binding to a receptor (e.g., opioids)
antagonist - ANSan ___________ is a drug that has affinity for a receptor but does not achieve
a response (e.g., narcan)
affinity - ANSthe tendency of a drug to attach to a specific receptor site
potency - ANSthe power of a drug to produce a therapeutic response
