QuestionAnswer
Pregnancy safety category a. no risk to human fetus b. no risk to animal fetus c. adverse effects in animal d. possible fetal risk in humans X. fetal abnormalities, should not be used in pregnant women
Pediatric – Pharmacokinetics body Wt, BSA, maturation of organs A- ↓ acid, emptying, 1st pass elimination lvl of enzymes); ↑ absorption of topical/IM D- more body H20- ↓ fat content; ↓lvl of protein binding; ↑drugs get to brain M- infants require ↓ doses,↓metabolism E- ↓perfu
Pediatric – Pharmacokinetics con't Tetracycline – discoloration Corticosteroid – suppress growth (if given systemically);Fluoroquinolone =damage cartilage (gait deformities)
Elderly Pharmacokinetics Start low & go slow A-↓ GI motility ↓muscle tone ↓ acid; ↓ blood flow to GI 40- 50% ↓ perfusion; ↓ absorptive D- ↓ drugs to tissues;↓ CO; ↑H20 soluble drugs levels; ↓ serum albumin ↑ circulation of free drugs; ↑ body fat ↑ duration of drug
Elderly Pharmacokinetics con't M- Aging liver=fewer microsomal enzymes, (cytochrome P-450); prolong ½ life/drug accum. E- ↓ GFR/ # of intact nephrons
Scheduled 1 greatest likelihood for tolerance & abuse (heroin); No accepted medical use in U.S.; Lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision
Scheduled 2 High potential for abuse (meperidine, methadone, Percodan, methylphenidate); Accepted medical use in U.S.; Abuse potential
Scheduled 3 High potential for abuse, but < I & II (codeine, Lortab, Fiorinal); Accepted medical use in U.S.
Schedule 4 Low potential for abuse, but < I & II (phenobarbital, diazepam)
Schedule 5 least likelihood to be abused (cough syrup, Lomotil)
Chinese, Asian American & Pacific Islanders values are considered more highly than the use of medicine. Religiously grounded Herbalist, acupuncturist, fortune teller, shaman yin and yang Use of heat/ cold Cold (female – - energies of darkness and cold) Heat (male – +. energies of light/warmth
Native Americans Believe in preserving harmony with nature or keeping a balance b/n body/mind and the environment to maintain health; Shaman – medicine man. Treatment varies from massage, application of heat to acts of purification
African American When ill, they treat with proper diet and rest Use herbal teas, laxatives, & protective bracelets, folk medicines, prayers and the “laying on of hands” Home remedies are important to health practice
Hispanics health= good luck, living right Illness = bad luck, committing a bad deed They restore the body (for balance) through the use of cold remedies for “hot” illnesses (fever) and hot remedies for “cold” illnesses (resp. infection)
Gene therapy- the transplantation of normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective ones in order to correct genetic disorders.
Triptan drugs for migraines rovatriptan, naratriptan, rizatriptan, and sumatriptan
COMT inhibitor + advantages- anti-parkinson drugs- indirect acting dopaminergic Therapeutic effects of COMT inhibitors may be noticed within a few days; it may take weeks with other drugs
SSRI (fluvoxamine) Pt teaching- don’t skip doses; 2-3 wks to notice change; notify dr- suicide, agitation, insomnia, anxiety, aggression; avoid alcohol; hives, HA, N, anorexia, anxiety, insomnia NI- monitor mood changes, I/O, assess for serotonin syndrome & toxicity/OD
DOC for anaphylaxis reaction epinephrine
Adrenergic alphas Alpha 1: Vasoconstriction of blood vessels, ↓GI motility; constrict bladder sphincter, contract uterus, male ejaculation, ↓IO pressure, dilate pupils Alpha 2: Mediator of negative feedback. Prevents further release of norepinephrine; ↓BP
Adrenergic betas Beta 1: ↑ heart rate, ↑force of contrax, ↑conduction through AV node Beta 2: Relaxation of smooth muscle in bronchi, uterus, peripheral arterial blood vessels; ↓GI motility; ↑renin secretion
Dopamine: ↑ cerebral, renal, cardiac and mesenteric perfusion ↑ PNS, SNS sexual responses Anxiety, fear response, High blood pressure, Tachycardia, Dry mouth, Dilated pupils endogenous- epinephrine, norepinephrine synthetic- dobutamine, phenylephrine
Beta Blockers 1 b1 receptors: Located primarily on the heart; b-blockers selective for these receptors= cardioselective b-blockers; ↓SNS stim of heart, ↓hr, prolong SA recovery, slow conduction, ↓workload & O2 demand
Beta Blockers 2 b2 receptors- Located primarily on smooth muscles of bronchioles and blood vessels; constrict bronchioles= SOB; vasoconstriction
Cholinergic Nicotinic receptors - stimulated by the alkaloid nicotine- PSNS & SNS (High doses) Muscarinic receptors - stimulated by the alkaloid muscarine- PSNS, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, glands
Cholinergic con't SLUDGE- Salivation, Lacrimation, Urinary incontinence, Diarrhea, Gastrointestinal cramps, Emesis ↓hr, vasodilation, narrow airways atropine is antidote take 30 mins prior to meal
Anticholinergic block ACh & PSNS physostigmine- antidote to anticholinergics small doses- ↓hr, muscle rigidity& tremors, large doses- ↑hr; drowsiness, disorientation, hallucinations dilate pupils, ↓ accommodation
Heart Failure + treatment The heart is unable to pump blood in sufficient amounts from the ventricles to meet the body’s metabolic needs ACE inhibitors (DOC)- Inhibits aldosterone secretion which prevents Na & H2O reabsorption ARBS- angiotensin II receptor blocker; ↓ SVR
Heart Failure Tx Beta Blockers- Prevent catecholamine-mediated actions (↓ SNS stimulation) Loop diuretics- ↓ fluid overload B-type natriuretic Peptide- ↓ PVR (afterload) → ↑ CO → ↑ perfusion organs/muscles; ↓ preload ↓ pulmonary congestion
Calcium Channel Blockers – Pt. education Inhibits movement of calcium ions across cell membrane → smooth muscle relaxation antidysrhythmic/anti-HTN take as directed; no grapefruit; monitor pulse; change pos slowly; good dental hygiene; avoid alcohol & OTC; wear protective clothing/sunscreen
Chest pain – what you do? monitor VS & *hypotension
Ace inhibitors DOC for HF; -PRIL’s; Inhibits aldosterone secretion which prevents Na & H2O reabsorption
Various types of diuretics (loop, osmotic, thiazide, etc) CAI- MIDE’s- block the action of carbonic anhydrase, thus preventing the exchange of H+ ions with sodium & water distally to glomerulus loop- Act directly on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to inhibit Cl- & Na+ reabsorption; fast acting- 2 hrs
Osmotic & K Sparing diuretics osmotic-Work mostly in the proximal tubule & descending loop (entire nephron) potassium-sparing- Work in collecting ducts and distal convoluted tubules
Interfere with sodium-potassium exchange thiazide-Inhibit tubular resorption of Na, Ch and K ions; Action primarily in the distal convoluted tubule Dizziness, HA, tinnitus, blurred vision, N/V/D, Agranulocytosis, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
