Description
This Patho Pharm Exam 1 covers fundamental principles of
pharmacology and pathophysiology. Key topics include pharmacokinetics
(absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion), pharmacodynamics
(drug action, receptors), drug safety, and key nursing responsibilities like
education and assessment.
Core Topics for Exam 1:
Pharmacokinetics: The movement of drugs through the body, including
metabolism (liver) and excretion (kidney).
Pharmacodynamics: Drug-receptor interactions, including Agonists,
