PNR 207 Review Questions for Unit
Exam 2
. Pharmacology Review Questions:
I
A. Adverse Effects, Contraindications, Side Effects, and Interactions
What are some common adverse effects and side effects of
1.
opioid analgesics?
SIDE EFFECT OF OPIOD ANALGESICS: Pharm,
pg. 227
• Sedation & Constipation
• Bradycardia
• Hypotension
• Decreased respiration
• Dry mouth
• Risk to fall
2. List contraindications for using NSAIDs-Nonsteroidal
antiinflammatory drug in a patient.-
SIDE NOTE: Common NSAID- Aspirin/increase the risk of bleeding.
Contraindications of NSAIDS:
• Upper GI Bleeding & blood disorders
• SOB to anaphylaxis
• Renal failure
3. Describe a potential drug-food interaction with anticoagulant
medications. P. 281
pg. 1
, lOMoAR cPSD| 22896205
PNR207 Review Questions for Unit
• NSAID-aspirin
• Vitamin K
• Oral contraceptives
Exam 2
B. Expected Actions and Outcomes
1. Explain the therapeutic effects of antihypertensive medications.
They are designed to treat high blood pressure and help reduce the risks associated
with it, such as stroke, heart attack, kidney damage and heart failure.
Antihypertensive drugs are grouped in five main categories:
• Diuretics
• Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
• Calcium Channel Blockers
• Adrenergic agents
• Vasodilators
2. How is the pharmacokinetics of a medication affected by
impaired renal function?
The key impact is on the excretion phase, leads to drug accumulation
increasing the risk of toxicity. Hepatic metabolism may be altered as
kidney disease can affect liver enzyme activity.
Pharmacokinetics- how drugs move through the body over time.
• Absorption
• Distribution
• Metabolism
• Excretion
