Who Can Perform Accu Check?
-Registered Nurse
-Lpn
-Cna
-Uaps Cannot Do Accu Check
-Patients
-Individuals Must Be Properly Trained And Credential Annually
Drug Names
- Chemical, Generic, Trade (Brand)
Classification Of Medications
-Medications With Similar Characteristics Are Grouped Together
-Indicates Effect On Body, Symptoms Relieved, Medication's Desired Effect
Medication Forms
- Solid, Liquid, Other Oral Forms, Topical, Parenteral, Instillation Into Body Cavities
Pharmacokinetics
- Study How Medications: Enter The Body, Reach Their Side Of Action, After
Physiological Functions, Break Down, Exit Body
Topical Absorption
,- Slow
Mucous Membranes/Respiratory Absorption
- Quickly
Orally Absorption
- Slowly
Iv Absorption
- Most Rapid
Blood Flow
- Increased Blood Flow = Increased Rate Of Absorption
Body Surface Area
- Increased Surface Area = Increase Rate Of Absorption
Lipid Solubility
- Absorbed More Quickly
Medication Distribution
-Occurs Within The Body To Tissues, Organs, And To Specific Sites Of Action
-Depends On: Circulation (Good Blood Flow = Faster Distribution), Membrane Permeability,
Protein Binding
Metabolism Of Medications
- Medications Are Metabolized Into A Less Potent Or Inactive Form
,Biotransformation
- Enzymes That Detoxify, Degrade, And Remove Active Chemicals (Mostly Occurs In Liver)
Meds Are Excreted Through
-Kidney: Main Organ
-Liver
-Bowel
-Lungs
-Exocrine Glands
Therapeutic Effect Of Medication
- Expected Or Predicted Physiological Response
Adverse Effect Of Medication
- Unintended, Severe Response To Medications
Idiosyncratic Response To Medication
- Over Or Under Reaction To A Medication (Usually Unpredictable)
Side Effects Of Medications
- Predicted, Secondary Effect
Toxic Effects Of Medications
- Medication Accumulates In Blood Stream
Allergic Reaction
- Unpredictable Response To Medication
, Medication Interactions
- When One Medication Modify The Action Of Another
Synergistic Effect
- Combined Effect Of Two Meds Greater Than When Given Alone
Serum Half Life
- Time For Serum Medication Concentration To Be Halved
Peak Time
- Time At Which Medications Reaches Its Highest Effective Concentration
Duration
- Time Medications Persists In The Body
Onset
- Time It Takes For Medication To Produce A Response
Trough
- Minimum Blood Serum Concentration Before Next Scheduled Dose (Blood Test)
(30min-1hr Before Next Dose)
