injected into a joint - ANSWER:Intra-articular
injected into cerebospinal fluid - ANSWER:Intra-thecal
device that turns solutions into vapours for inhalation - ANSWER:nebulizer
process of drug metabolism in the body - ANSWER:Bio-transformation
drug administered inactive that through metabolism becomes active. - ANSWER:Pro-drug
drug with different active ingredients that produces same effect. - ANSWER:Therapeutic Alternative
absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of a drug (process drug undergoes to produce its
therapeutic effects) - ANSWER:Pharmcokinetics
process of body accepting a drug into the organ(bypassing lock & key mechanism) - ANSWER:Absorption
rate at which a drug reaches its intended site - ANSWER:Bio-availability
drugs journey throughtout the body (not necessarily equal) - ANSWER:Distribution
drugs administered into the GI tract (orally or rectally). - ANSWER:Enteral
process of drug leaving the body (kidney, feces, exhalation, sweat glands, or breast milk) -
ANSWER:Excretion
process where liver metabolizes drug before it passes into system - ANSWER:First Pass Effect
takes place in the liver - changes chemical structure of the drug (influenced by patient and their lifestyle -
transforms active drug to elimination product) - ANSWER:Metabolism
administered by injection (sc, IV, IM) - ANSWER:Parenteral
increases shelf life of products - ANSWER:Phenol
drugs absorbed by passive diffusion that move from an area of greater diffusion to lessor diffusion -
ANSWER:Passive Transport
lipophilic and hydrophobic - ANSWER:Lipid Soluble Drug
hydrophilic - ANSWER:Water Soluble Drug
permits drug to move across cell membrane (despite concentration and requires special pumps or
proteins to "Carry the drug") - ANSWER:Active Transport
