Exam 2025
Define Pharmacokinetics - Correct Ans-The impact of the body on drugs. How much of
an administered dose gets to its sites of action.
Four major pharmokinetic processes - Correct Ans-Drug absorption, drug distribution,
drug metabolism, and drug excretion.
Define Pharmacodynamics - Correct Ans-The impact of drugs on the body. The nature
and intensity of the response to the drug.
Two major areas in which you can apply pharmacologic knowledge. - Correct Ans-
Patient care and patient education.
Seven aspects of drug therapy. - Correct Ans-Pre administration assessment, dosage
and administration, evaluating and promoting therapeutic effects, minimizing adverse
effects, minimizing adverse reactions, making "as needed" (PRN) decisions, and
managing toxicity.
Pre administration assessment - Correct Ans-Three basic goals: collecting baseline
data needed to evaluate therapeutic and adverse responses, identifying high -risk
patients, and assessing the patient's capacity for self-care.
To help reduce adverse effects, you must know - Correct Ans-The major adverse
effects the drug can produce, when these reactions are likely to occur, early signs that
an adverse reaction is developing, and interventions that can minimize discomfort and
harm.
PRN - Correct Ans-pro re nata, a Latin phrase meaning as needed
Nursing process - Correct Ans-ADPIE - Assessment, analysis (diagnosis), planning,
implementation, and evaluation.
Complete nursing diagnosis - Correct Ans-A statement of the pt's actual or potential
health problem, a statement of the problem's probable cause or risk factors, and the
signs, symptoms, or other evidence of the problem. Statements are separated by the
phrases related to and as evidenced by
Objective of drug therapy - Correct Ans-Produce maximum benefit with minimum harm
Pre administration assessment - Correct Ans-Establish the baseline data needed to
tailor drug therapy to the individual.
