Nur2474 Pharmacology Exam 1
Lithium therapeutic level Right Ans - 0.6-1.2 mEq/L
Lithium toxicity level Right Ans - 2 mEq/L
Lithium side effects Right Ans - Polyuria, fine hand tremor, thirst, dry
mouth, increase in motility of GI system
Lithium toxic effects Right Ans - Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
Donepezil (Aricept) in Alzheimer's Right Ans - a Cholinesterase inhibitor
that help to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, which is a
neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory.1 By preventing the
breakdown of the chemical, communication between nerve cells in the brain
may be improved. This can lead to a slowing down of symptoms or a delay in
exhibiting symptoms.
Sertraline (Zoloft) and nursing infants Right Ans - Safe to use while
breastfeeding. Usually low in breast milk compared to other SSRIs and
antidepressants. Most doctors prescribe while nursing as it is safe.

lessening anxiety-like behaviors and alcohol intake, which may make it useful
as a treatment during alcohol withdrawal. This low dose can decrease alcohol
use.

substance (in this case, a drug), which triggers an allergic reaction.
Specifically, a drug allergy is a reaction mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE)
antibodies.
Intended effect Right Ans - The effect the medication is expected to have on
the body.
teratogenic effect Right Ans - Effect of a drug administered to the mother
that results in abnormalities in the fetus.
Paradoxical effect Right Ans - opposite of the intended drug effect
Tolerance Right Ans - a pharmacological concept describing subjects'
reduced reaction to a drug following its repeated use.
Lithium therapeutic level Right Ans - 0.6-1.2 mEq/L
