NURS 316 Pharmacology Exam
Questions and answers
Pharmokinetics - ✅✅the study of drugs within the body, absorption ,
distribution, metabolism, excretion (Aka what the body does to drug)
Pharmodynamics - ✅✅The study of what the drug does to the body
Six major initiatives of QSEN - ✅✅1. Patient-centered care
2. Teamwork and collaboration
3. Evidence-based practice
4. Quality improvement
5. Safety
6. Informatics
Nursing Process - ✅✅five-step systematic method for giving patient care;
involves assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating (ADPIE)
medication profile - ✅✅any and all drug use
prescriptions
OTC medications
vitamins, herbs, and supplements
compliance and adherence
,6 rights of medication administration - ✅✅Right dose, right time, right patient,
right route, right documentation, right medication
Nursing Diagnosis - ✅✅a health problem that can be treated by nursing
measures
Enthopharmacology - ✅✅study of the effect of ethnicity on responses to
prescribed medication, especially drug absorption, metabolism, distribution, and
excretion
Aloe uses - ✅✅sunburn, acne, abrasions (topical), constipation (oral)
Feverfew uses - ✅✅migraine prevention
Ginkgo uses - ✅✅mental performance, age-related memory loss
Goldenseal uses - ✅✅anti-diabetic effects, anti-inflammatory, intestinal health
& lower cholesterol
St Johns wort uses - ✅✅mild to moderate depression
Valerian uses - ✅✅anxiety and insomnia
Garlic uses - ✅✅high cholesterol and hypertension
, Hawthorn uses - ✅✅Used for mild to moderate heart failure, hypertension,
cholesterol reduction
Echinacea uses - ✅✅Prevention & Treatment of Upper Respiratory Tract
Infections
Ginseng uses - ✅✅stress reduction, improvement of physical endurance and
concentration
Saw Palmetto uses - ✅✅Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
codeine, fentanyl, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, methadone, morphine,
oxycodone - ✅✅Sub Class: Opioid analgesics (narcotics)
Indications: to alleviate moderate to severe pain,Often given with adjuvant
analgesic drugs to assist the primary drugs with pain relief, Can also be used for
Cough center suppression, Treatment of diarrhea, Balanced anesthesia
Mech Of Act:
Agonists
- Bind to an opioid pain receptor in the brain
- Cause of analgesic response (reduction of pain sensation)
Partial Agonists
- Bind to pain receptor
- Cause a weaker neurologic response than a full agonist
