PN1005 Pharmacology Midterm || with Certified Answers.
Pharmacokinetics correct answers How the body affects the drug
4 stages of pharmacokinetics correct answers 1. Absorption
2. Distribution
3. Metabolism
4. Excretion
Absorption correct answers what happens to a drug from the time it enters the body until it enters
the circulating fluid; intravenous administration causes the drug to directly enter the circulating
blood, bypassing the many complications of absorption from other routes.
Distribution correct answers The movement of drug to and from the bloodstream and various
tissues of the body
Pharmacodynamics correct answers How the drug affects the body
Controlled Drugs and Substances Act correct answers Class 1: heroin
Class 2: hydromorphone
Class 3: Codeine
Biotransformation (metabolism) correct answers the process by which drugs are changed into
new, less active chemicals
first pass effect correct answers a phenomenon in which drugs given orally are carried directly to
the liver after absorption, where they may be largely inactivated by liver enzymes before they
can enter the general circulation; oral drugs frequently are given in higher doses than drugs given
by other routes because of this early breakdown
, Protein bound drugs correct answers Affects the distribution of a drug; when the drug is bound to
protein, it is unable to pass through capillary walls; may cause drug toxicity. when the patient has
a lower-than-expected protein level, the distribution of the drug is altered.
teratogenic correct answers producing malformations (in the developing embryo)
half-life correct answers time it takes for the amount of a drugs active substance in your body is
reduced to half.
Loading dose correct answers use of a higher dose than what is usually used for treatment to
allow the drug to reach the critical concentration sooner
7 rights of medication administration correct answers Right drug, right dose, right patient, right
route, right time, right reason, right documentation
Polypharmacy correct answers The use of many different drugs concurrently in treating a patient,
who often has several health problems. Can be therapeutic and cause adverse side effects
PO correct answers by mouth
IM correct answers intramuscular
SL correct answers sublingual
SQ correct answers subcutaneous
B.I.D correct answers twice a day
