ANSWERS|ALREADY A GRADED|GUARANTEED
PASS|LATEST UPDATE 2025.
What changes occur in drug distribution in elderly patients? - CORRECT ANSWER- Elderly patients
have increased fat content, decreased body mass and albumin, and decreased body water.
How does metabolism change in elderly patients? - CORRECT ANSWER- Elderly patients experience a
slower first-pass effect.
What is the impact of aging on drug excretion? - CORRECT ANSWER- Aging results in decreased
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR).
What is crucial for pediatric patients regarding medication? - CORRECT ANSWER- Weight/dose
calculation is crucial due to limited studies on pediatric patients.
How does drug absorption differ in pediatric patients? - CORRECT ANSWER- Pediatric patients have
less acidic pH until 1-2 years old, slow gastric emptying, faster IM absorption, and thinner skin.
What are the distribution characteristics of drugs in pediatric patients? - CORRECT ANSWER- Pediatric
patients have low fat content, decreased protein binding, increased blood-brain barrier permeability,
and dehydration.
, How does metabolism in pediatric patients differ from adults? - CORRECT ANSWER- Pediatric patients
have an immature first-pass effect, while older children may have increased metabolism.
What is the effect of immature kidney function on drug excretion in pediatric patients? - CORRECT
ANSWER- Decreased perfusion and immature kidney function lead to decreased drug excretion.
What are the pregnancy categories for medications? - CORRECT ANSWER- Category A: No risk to
humans; Category B: No risk to animal fetus; Category C: Adverse risk to animal fetus; Category D:
Possible risk to fetus; Category X: Fetal abnormalities reported, DO NOT GIVE.
What are common sensory motor defects in elderly patients? - CORRECT ANSWER- Elderly patients
may experience sensory motor defects.
What cardiovascular changes occur in elderly patients? - CORRECT ANSWER- Elderly patients
experience decreased cardiac output (CO) and blood flow.
What is polypharmacy and why is it common in elderly patients? - CORRECT ANSWER- Polypharmacy
refers to the use of multiple medications, which is common in elderly patients due to chronic illnesses.
How does aging affect drug absorption in elderly patients? - CORRECT ANSWER- Aging leads to
decreased gastric pH, decreased peristalsis, and reduced GI blood flow.
What should be considered for lactating mothers regarding medication? - CORRECT ANSWER- Risk is
present for lactating mothers despite low medication concentration.
What are the 'Seven Rights' of medication administration? - CORRECT ANSWER- Right drug, right
dose, right time, right route, right patient, right documentation, right reason or indication.
