APPROVED EXAM FOR NR 606 MIDTERM EXAM Drugs that cross the blood-brain barrier are Bound to albumin Lipid soluble Water soluble - ANSWER -Lipid soluble Passage of a drug from the site of administration into the circulation is Absorption Bioavailability Distribution - ANSWER -Absorption The half life of a drug is two hours. At four hours, the expected concentration of the drug is 0% 25% 50% - ANSWER -25% Drugs are available to exert their effect on the cell when they are Bound to albumin Dissolved in lipids Unbound to albumin (free) - ANSWER -Unbound to albumin (free) Maximum efficacy refers to the: Minimal level needed to have an effect on most people Maximum effect a drug can produce Toxic level of a drug - ANSWER -Maximum effect a drug can produce Elimination of drugs happens primarily via the GI tract Kidney Liver - ANSWER -Kidney Oral distribution of drugs may vary in the neonate because of Decreased GI transit time Decreased GI surface area in relation to body weight Increased GI blood flow - ANSWER -Decreased GI transit time Measuring a trough level of a drug may determine a change in the Dose Interval Route - ANSWER -Interval Drugs that activate receptors and mimic the actions of the body's own regulatory molecules are called: Agonists Antagonists Regulators - ANSWER -Agonists The therapeutic index refers to the: Amount of drug that it takes to have an effect on the patient Level at which a drug will be toxic to most patients Ratio of the drug's lethal dose to it's effective dose - ANSWER -Ratio of the drug's lethal dose to it's effective dose True or false: Clinical trials will determine any adverse effects of a drug before the drug is marketed to health care providers. - ANSWER -False True or false: The more potent a drug is, the greater its maximum efficacy - ANSWER -False True or false: Infants have the highest overall percentage of body water. - ANSWER -True True or false: The two main intracellular fluid (ICF) compartments are the interstitial fluid contained in the nucleus and the intravascular fluid contained in the cell body. - ANSWER -False What is the mechanism by which the energy produced from carbohydrates, proteins and lipids is transferred to adenosine triphosphate (ATP)? Anaerobic glycolysis Oxidative cellular metabolism Oxidative phosphorylation Tricarboxylic acid phosphorylation - ANSWER -Oxidative phosphorylation True or false: Loss of sodium and gain of water can cause hyponatremia - ANSWER -True In hypoxic injury, why does sodium enter the cell and cause swelling? Because the cell membrane permeability increases for sodium during periods of hypoxia Because there is insufficient ATP to maintain the pump that keeps sodium out of the cell Because the lactic acid produced by the hypoxia binds with sodium within the cell Because sodium cannot be transported in the cytosol to the cell membrane during hypoxia - ANSWER -Because there is insufficient ATP to maintain the pump that keeps sodium out of the cell What organic compound facilitates transportation across cell membranes by acting as receptors, transport channels for electrolytes, and enzymes to drive active pumps? Lipids Proteolytic cascade Proteins Carbohydrates - ANSWER -Proteins The patient has the following arterial blood gas (ABG's) results; pH 7.32, PaCO2 88 mmHg and HCO3 24 mEQ/L. The nurse interprets these results as: Metabolic acidosis Respiratory alkalosis Metabolic alkalosis Respiratory acidosis - ANSWER -Respiratory Acidosis Which is a description of the characteristics of apoptosis? A programmed cell death of scattered, single cells Characterized by swelling of the nucleus and cytoplasm Has unpredictable patterns of cell death Results in benign malignancies - ANSWER -A programmed cell death of scattered, single cells Under anaerobic conditions, the process of ______________ provides energy for the cell. Oxidative phosphorylation
