Answers
Q1: What is a half-life
A: time required for 50% of a drug to be removed from the body
Q2: After about how many half-lives are most drugs eliminated from the body
A: 5
Q3: Steady state
A: The amount of the drug eliminated and the amount of the drug absorbed are equal
Q4: Absorption
A: Movement of a drug from its site of administration to the bloodstream
Q5: Distrubution
A: The transport of a drug in the bloodstream to its site of action
Q6: Metabolism
A: Biochemically alters a drug to make it usable in the body
Q7: Effect
A: Intended use of the drug
Q8: Excretion
A: Elimination of a drug and any of its metabolites
Q9: What is a drug's onset of action
A: The time required to elicit a therapeutic response
, Q10: What is a drug's peak effect
A: The time required to reach its maximum therapeutic response
Q11: What is a drug's duration of action
A: The time that a drug's concentration is sufficient (without more doses) to elicit a therapeutic response
Q12: Type of drug effects: Agonist
A: A drug that will activate a receptor, enzyme, or cell process by binding to it
Q13: Type of drug effects: Partial Agonist
A: Some of the receptor or enzyme is activated but overalll activity is diminished
Q14: Type of drug effects: Antagonist
A: Blocks an enzyme, receptor site, or membrane, preventing the receptor from activating
Q15: Type of drug effects: Competitive antagonist
A: A drug that competes with another drug or substance to bind to the receptor. If it is able to bind, it prevents an agonist
from binding to the same receptor or enzyme
Q16: Type of drug effects: non-competitive antagonist
A: bind to a different part of the receptor and inactivate the entire receptor
Q17: Acute drug therapy
A: essential for sustaining life or treating diseases
Q18: Maintenance drug therapy
A: Prevents the progression of a disease or condition
Q19: Supplemental (or replacement) drug therapy
A: Provides the body with the necessary substances to maintain normal function
