OUTLINE PASS ASSURED 2026.
◍ PRN.Answer:pro re nata, a Latin phrase meaning as needed
◍ Nursing process.Answer:ADPIE - Assessment, analysis
(diagnosis), planning, implementation, and evaluation.
◍ Complete nursing diagnosis.Answer:A statement of the pt's actual
or potential health problem, a statement of the problem's probable
cause or risk factors, and the signs, symptoms, or other evidence of
the problem. Statements are separated by the phrases related to and as
evidenced by
◍ Objective of drug therapy.Answer:Produce maximum benefit with
minimum harm
◍ Pre administration assessment.Answer:Establish the baseline data
needed to tailor drug therapy to the individual.
◍ Pre administration assessment goals.Answer:Collection of baseline
data needed to evaluate therapeutic effects, collection of baseline data
needed to evaluate adverse effects, identification of high-risk patients,
and assessment of the pt's capacity for self-care.
, ◍ Containdication.Answer:A preexisting condition that precludes use
of a particular drug under all but the most critical of circumstances.
◍ Precaution.Answer:A preexisting condition that significantly
increases the risk of an adverse reaction to a particular drug, but not to
s degree that is life threatening.
◍ Pharmacokinetics.Answer:1. Absorption 2. distribution 3.
metabolism 4. elimination
"Body affecting drugs"
◍ Absorption.Answer:Enteral route involves the GI system (oral)
Parenteral route = IV, IM
Transdermal = through the skin
Respiratory = droplet, inhalation
◍ Distribution.Answer:Amount of drug in the body divided by the
plasma drug concentration.
◍ Factors effecting distribution.Answer:Blood flow, lipid solubility,
molecular size of the drug, plasma proteins (very important)
◍ Volume of distribution.Answer:Vd = amount of drug in the body
divided by the amount of drug in the plasma divided by
bioavailability.
