f 1. fA fpatient’s fnutritional fintake fand flaboratory fresults freflect fhypoalbuminemia. fThis fis fcritical fto
fprescribing fbecause:
1. Distribution fof fdrugs fto ftarget ftissue fmay fbe faffected.
2. The fsolubility fof fthe fdrug fwill fnot fmatch fthe fsite fof fabsorption.
3. There fwill fbe fless ffree fdrug favailable fto fgenerate fan feffect.
4. Drugs fbound fto falbumin fare freadily fexcreted fby fthe fkidneys.
f 2. fDrugs fthat fhave fa fsignificant ffirst-pass f effect:
1. Must fbe fgiven fby fthe fenteral f(oral) froute fonly
2. Bypass fthe fhepatic fcirculation
3. Are frapidly fmetabolized fby fthe fliver fand fmay fhave flittle fif fany fdesired faction
4. Are fconverted fby fthe fliver fto fmore factive fand ffat-soluble fforms
f f 3. fThe froute fof fexcretion fof fa fvolatile fdrug fwill flikely fbe f the:
1. Kidneys
2. Lungs
3. Bile fand ffeces
4. Skin
f 4. fMedroxyprogesterone f(Depo fProvera) fis fprescribed fintramuscularly f(IM) fto fcreate fa fstorage
freservoir fof fthe fdrug. fStorage freservoirs:
1. Assure fthat fthe fdrug fwill freach fits fintended ftarget ftissue
2. Are fthe freason ffor fgiving floading fdoses
3. Increase fthe flength fof ftime fa fdrug fis favailable fand factive
4. Are fmost fcommon fin fcollagen ftissues
f f 5. fThe fNP fchooses fto fgive fcephalexin fevery f8 fhours fbased fon fknowledge fof fthe f drug’s:
1. Propensity fto fgo fto fthe ftarget freceptor
2. Biological fhalf-life
3. Pharmacodynamics
4. Safety fand fside feffects
, f 6. fAzithromycin fdosing frequires fthat fthe ffirst fday’s fdosage fbe ftwice fthose fof fthe fother f4 fdays fof fthe
fprescription. fThis fis fconsidered fa floading fdose. fA floading fdose:
1. Rapidly fachieves fdrug flevels fin fthe ftherapeutic frange
2. Requires ffour- fto ffive-half-lives fto fattain
3. Is finfluenced fby frenal ffunction
4. Is fdirectly frelated fto fthe fdrug fcirculating fto fthe ftarget ftissues
