NR 293
NR 293 EXAM 1 GRADED A+
Drug - correct answer Any chemical that affects the physiologic
processes of a living organism
Pharmacology - correct answer The study or science of drugs
Chemical Name - correct answer Describes the drug's chemical
composition and molecular structure (not usually used in
nursing)
Generic Name - correct answer Name given by the United
States Adopted Names council. The universal name, like
ibuprofen or acetaminophen
,NR 293
Trade Name - correct answer AKA proprietary name. The drug
has a registered trademark, use of the name is restricted
by the drug's patent owner. Ex is Motrin and Advil, they
are both ibuprofen
Pharmaceutics - correct answer The study of how various drug
forms influence the way in which the drug affects the
body.
Oral, rectal, transdermal, etc.
Pharmacodynamics - correct answer The study of what the
drug does to the body. The mechanism of drug actions in
living tissues and drug-receptor relationships
Pharmacotherapeutics - correct answer The clinical use of
drugs to prevent and treat disease. Defines principles of
drug actions- the cellular processes that change in
response to the presence of drug molecules. Drugs are
organized into pharmacologic classes, like
antihypertensives.
Ex: elderly taking baby aspirin to prevent strokes
,NR 293
Pharmacognosy - correct answer The study of natural drug
sources, like plants, animals and minerals.
Pharmaceutic Properties - correct answer Different drug
dosage forms have different properties. Dosage form
determines the rate of drug dissolution. Enteric-coated
tablets protect patients from stomach irritation.
Fastest Route of Oral Drug Absorption - correct answer 1. Oral
disintegration, buccal tabs, and oral soluble wafers
2. Liquids, elixirs, and syrups
3. Suspension solutions
4. Powders
5. Capsules
6. Tablets
7. Coated tablets
8. Enteric-coated tabletes
, NR 293
Pharmacokinetics - correct answer The study of what the body
does to the drug. A drug's time to onset of action, time to
peak effect, and duration of action.
-Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion
Pharmacokinetics: Absorption - correct answer Movement of a
drug from its site of administration into the bloodstream
for distribution to the tissues.
Bioavailability - correct answer A measure of the extent of
drug absorption for a given drug and route. Giving a med
through the IV, you will have 100% of the med in the
bloodstream, none is lost.
First-Pass Effect - correct answer The initial metabolism in the
liver of a drug absorbed from the GI tract before the drug
reaches systemic circulation. If you give a PO med, the GI
system digests, liver transforms, and then it reaches the
bloodstream. Not 100% of the med reaches the
bloodstream, you lose some as it travels.
