combination of complementary health and conventional health approaches in a coordinated way.
Can people without medical degrees practice CHA/IH? - ANS- YES, CHAs and IH care are not
"medicines" and people without medical degrees practice CHA/IH.
Mind-body practices - ANS- use a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind's ability to
affect bodily function and symptoms. Examples include yoga, meditation, acupuncture, energy
medicine, manipulative and body-based practices (e.g., chiropractic), and others.
Mind-body practices: Meditation - ANS- focusing the mind on something specific (such as breathing
or repeating a word or phrase) to quiet it. A. consider client self-care needs when the client requests
to continue using an alternative therapy
B. Time should be provided
C. Is a prescription needed?
D. assess how and where first
Mind-body practices: Guided Imagery - ANS- visualizing a particular outcome or scenario with the
goal of mentally changing one's physical reality
Biofeedback: with a special machine, becoming alert to body processes, such as muscle tightening,
to learn to control them
Mind-body practices: Relaxation - ANS- releasing tension in the body through exercises such as
controlled breathing
Pharmacokinetics definition - ANS- the effect the drug has on the body. pharm = drug, kinetics =
movement. Study of the movement as the drug enters the body, goes to the action site,
metabolizes, and then exits the body
Pharmacotherapeutics - ANS- is the consideration of therapeutic uses of drugs. It's the "why" we
administer certain medications
, Pharmacodynamics - ANS- is how the drug effects the body and the process by which the drug acts
on the target cell resulting in alterations in cellular reaction and function
Pharmacogenetics - ANS- the scientific discipline studying how the effect of a drug action varies from
a predicted drug response because of genetic factors or hereditary influence
Medication: Extended Release/ Sustained release- - ANS- preparation of a medication that allows for
slow or continuous release over a predetermined amount of time
Medication: Enteric coating - ANS- Enteric coating refers to a tablet or pill that is coated to prevent
stomach irritation
Medication: Capsule - ANS- A capsule is a powder or gel form of an active drug that is enclosed in a
gelatinous container
Pharmacokinetics phases - ANS- 1. Absorption: transferred to bloodstream (Route)
2. Excretion: leaves the body
3. Distribution: transported
4. Metabolism: changes from active form to inactive form (Function of liver, kidney, GI, lungs)
Peak level - ANS- Peak level is the highest concentration of the drug after absorption is complete
Half-life - ANS- Half-life is the time it takes for 50% of the drug to be eliminated from the body
Trough Level - ANS- Trough level is when the drug is at its lowest
Incomplete prescription - ANS- Clarify with provider
Confirming Med Order
The nurse is responsible for checking that the medication order was transcribed correctly by
comparing it with the original order, depending on the type of system in use. The nurse is also
responsible for double-checking the dosage and appropriateness of the medication.
When preparing to administer a medication, ask yourself why the patient is receiving the
medication—is there a rationale you can provide as to why this medication has been prescribed? Do
