Steps:
- Absorption
- Distribution
- Metabolism
- Excretion
Pharmacodynamics Correct Answer - The study of what the

bound will have 2% available for distribution in the body
those with low protein can experience toxicity.
Teratogenic Correct Answer - Known to have potential to

Medication Labeling Correct Answer - - Manufactures name
- Dosage strength form
- Supply dosage
- Total volume
- Administration route
- Label alerts
- Expiration date
- Lot number
- Bar code
- National drug code
- Recognize USP-NF
United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Correct Answer - An
