Quiz any chemical that affects the processes of a living organism.
Ans: drug
Quiz the study or science of drugs.
Ans: pharmacology
,Quiz the drug's chemical composition and molecular structure.
Ans: Chemical name
Quiz Name given by the United States Adopted Names Council
Ans: Generic name (nonproprietary name)
Quiz The drug has a registered trademark; use of the name restricted by the drug's owner
(usually the manufacturer).
Ans: Trade name (proprietary name)

1. active ingredient
2. price
3. insurance coverage
4. inactive ingredient
5. strength/ dosage
6. appearance/ look
Ans: 1. (a) and (b) no difference
2. (a) higher in cost and (b) lower in cost
3. (a) covered if no generic form exists and (b) normally always covered.
4. (a) tested and approved by the FDA and (b) may differ but proven to be acceptable by the
FDA
5. (a) and (b) no difference
6. (a) drugs are standard in size, color, packaging, etc. and (b) packaging and the drug itself

Quiz DEA schedule
,Ans: schedule I - highest abuse potential + no acceptable use; limited use for research
purposes
schedule II - high abuse potential + accepted use with restrictions
schedule III - medium abuse potential + accepted use
schedule IV - low abuse potential + accepted use
schedule V - lowest abuse potential + accepted use
Quiz the study of what the drug does to the body.
Ans: Pharmacodynamics
Quiz the study of what the body does to the drug.
Ans: Pharmacokinetics
Quiz the study of how various drug forms influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic
activities.
Ans: Pharmaceutics
Quiz the use of drugs and the clinical indications for drugs to prevent and treat diseases.
Ans: Pharmacotherapeutics
Quiz Pharmacodynamics
Drug actions (mechanism of action; MOA)
The cellular processes involved in the drug and cell interaction:
What are some drug effects? (1)
Ans: - to replace or act as substitutes for missing chemicals
- to increase or stimulate cellular activities
- to depress or slow cellular activities
- to interfere with the functioning of foreign cells
(1) the physiologic reaction of the body to the drug
Quiz Pharmacokinetics:
Factors that affect absorption
Ans: - Administration route of the drug
, - Food or fluids administered with the drug
- Dosage formulation
- Status of the absorptive surface
- Rate of blood flow to the small intestine
- Acidity of the stomach
- Status of GI motility
Quiz Pharmacokinetics:
Routes
Ans: a drug's route of administration affects the rate and extent of absorption of that drug.
- enteral (absorbed into the systemic circulation through the oral or gastric mucosa, the
small intestine, or rectum..... oral, sublingual, buccal, rectal)
- parenteral (systemic action, but delivered by routes other than the GI tract.... intravenous,
intramuscular, subcutaneous, intradermal, intrathecal, intraarticular)
- topical (local)Pha
Quiz First - Pass Effect
Ans: the metabolism of a drug and its passage from the liver into the circulation
- oral = may be extensively metabolized by the liver before reaching the systemic circulation
(high first pass effect)
- IV = bypasses the liver, preventing the first pass effect from taking place, and more drug
reaches the circulation
Quiz First - Pass Effect:
Routes that bypass the liver:
Ans: -sublingual. -buccal
-rectal.* -intravenous
-intranasal. -transdermal
-vaginal. -intramuscular
-subcutaneous -inhalation
-rectal route undergoes higher degree of first-pass effects than the other routes listed.
Quiz Oral preparations: list ones that absorb the fastest to slowest
