conjunctival sac (not the eyeball/cornea). inner to outer
enema - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔patient lays on left side
pharmacokinetic - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔what happens in the body once med is
administered
-Absorption
-Distribution/ Binding
-Metabolism
-Renal Excretion
first-pass effect - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔A swallowed pill that goes into the liver through the
portal vein where some of the drug becomes inactive
protein binding - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔protein (usually albumin) binds to medication to
help chemicals move through.
When the medication is bound to the protein it is not available to perform its action in the body
True or False - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔True
,free drug - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔The amount that is left not bound called
the__________________and it performs the pharmacologic response
pharmacodynamics phase - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔refers to the effects drugs will have on a
patient and the mechanism of their actions.
How do antacids affect drug absorption? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Antacids increase the PH
(alkaline) of gastric juices which causes a decrease in the disintegration process
Most drugs (excluding enteric coated or XR) need an acidic environment to break down.
Lipid soluble drugs are not able to pass the membrane without a protein/ enzyme carrier.
True or false - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔False
In the GI tract the lining is made up of a mucous membrane composed of lipids and proteins which
allows lipid soluble drugs to easily pass through. If the drug is water soluble it will need a protein or
enzyme carrier to pass through
