PHARM FINAL 5/7/13
NPN 139 Pharmacology 2 final at BGTC 5/7/13
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Drug Therapy for pediatric patients, Medicines effect peds differently, how? | absorption slower gastric emptying distribution 75% body is water, require higher dose of water soluble drug metabolism develop at different stages excretion kidneys are not completely mature till 1 yr |
| Determining pediactric dosage | Body Surface Area (physicians use) and weight/kg |
| Where do you give an IM injection to a kid under 3? | vastus laterus |
| Where do you give an IM injection to a kid over 3? | dorso gluteal |
| How do you administer ear drops to a child? | down and back/out |
| If child ingests a poisionous medication what can you give them? | syrup of ipecac |
| If child ingests a poision, who do you call? | poision control |
| Polypharmacy | taking numerous medications on daily basis |
| Drug therapy in the Elderly; medications effect elderly differently how? | blood flow decreases to the GI tract, decrease in GI secretions-absorption decreases, fatty tissues increase-decreases activity or prolonged activity in many drugs, decreased binding sites, decreases blood flow to liver leading to toxicity |
| IM injection preferred site for the elderly? | ventrogluteal |
| Asepsis | free of pathogenic microorganisms |
| medical aspesis | "clean technique" inhibits growth |
| surgical aspesis | "sterile technique" destroys/abscent from microorganisms |
| Principles of sterile technique | sterile objects remain sterile when touched only by sterile, only sterile can be place on sterile field, sterile objects our of sight/held below waist become contaminated, if field becomes wet contaminated, edges (1 in) contaminated |
| Sympathetic (Adrenergic) System | Fight or Flight, increases processes when faced with stress, supresses those body functions not vital during stressful situation |
| Examples of body reactions for Sympathetic | pupils dilate, heart rate increase, blood vessels dilate |
| Receptors in the Sympathetic System | alpha 1 beta 1 beta 2 |
| Alpha1 | found in smooth muscles of the peripheral blood vessels, GI GU tracts, when stimulated cause constriction, BP increases, used commonly in hypotension meds |
| Beta1 | primarily found in the heart, when stimulated increases heart rate, force, and contractions |
| Beta2 | primarily found in bronchial smooth muscles (lungs) when stimulated bronchodilation meaning OPENS UP airways |
| Parasympathetic (Cholinergic) | opposite of sympathetic, directed in conversing energy; increased acid secretions, salvation, decrease heart rate and BP, pupil constriction, promotes sweating, increased elimination |
| 4 classes/agentsof drugs that effect the Autonomic Nervous System | 1.Sympathetic or Adrenergic Agents 2.Sypatholytics or Adrenegic Blockers 3.Parasympathominetics or Cholinergics 4.Parasympatholytic or Anticholinergic |
| Adrenergic Agents | mimic the sympathetic nervous system |
| Adrenergic Blockers | stop/block adrenergic system, decreases/constrict |
| Cholinergics | mimics parasympathetic, increases secretions conserves energy increases SLUD |
| Anticholinergic | antiSLUD, decreases or stops SLUD |
| SLUD stands for | S-SALIVATION L-LACRIMATION U-URINATION D-DEFICATION |
| What is the main function of the Respiratory System? | Gas Exchange |
| Medications Effecting Respiratory System | Antihistamines Decongestants Antitussives Mucolytics Expectorants Topical Nasal Steroids Bronchodilators Corticosteroids Xanthine Bronchodilators |
| Antihistamines Benadryl, Phenergan, Zyrtec, Allegra | block action of histamines, limits vasodilation, edema, produces anti-cholinergic effect, also has sedative effect. |
| Decongestants Ephedrine, Epinephrine, Afrin/Oxymetazoline Sudafed/pseudoephrine | action effects all alpha receptors, vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow, fluid movement, and mucousal edema, shrinks it tightens up. Used for allergies, Upper Resp Inf, Reactions nasal stinging, dryness, rebound congestion. Do not use more than 3-5 days |
| Antitussives Codeine, Hydrocodone, Benzonatate/Tessalon Perles | act centrally on the cough center in the brain, numbs receptors in the respiratory tract; used for overactive,nonproductive cough. Narcotic/nonnarcotic. Reactions: constipations, drowsiness, dry mouth, othostatic hypotension. Can cause addiction |
| Mucolytics Mucomyst/Acetylcysteine | reduce the thickness of secretions, used for chronic respiratory conditions. Reactions:NVF broncho spasms, irritation to throat/trachea/bronchis. Drink plenty of fluids |
| Expectorants Robituusin/Guaifenesin | (expell) agents decrease thickness of secretions by increasing fluids in respiratory tract. Used for productive coughs, chronic respiratory diseases, Reaction: GI upset, Used for short term ONLY, not for persistant coughs, drink fluids, humidifier |
| Topical Intranasal Steroids Beconase, Rhinocort, Nasalide, Flonase | anti-inflammatory effect, decrease local congestion |
| Bronchodilators Albuterol/Proventil, Epinephrine, Salemeterol/Serevent, Metaproterenol, Levabuterol, Foradil | open up the bronchi, allows air to pass through, Gets O2 in and CO2 out, 2 types: Sympathomimetic and Xanthine, |
| Xanthine Bronchodilators Aminophylline, Theophylline | related to caffeine, relax smooth muscles in bronchi & blood vessels in lungs, reduces swelling |
| Leukotriene Receptor Inhibitors Montelukast/Singulair, Accolate, Zyflo | newer category for asthma, not a bronchodilator, block leukotrienes which are potent bronchoconstrictors |
| Mast Cell Stabilizers Cromolyn/Intal, Nedocromil/Tilade | inhibit the release of substance histamine, use forprophylaxis in asthma, food allergies, allergic rhinitis, Reactions: dizzy HA, N |
| Corticosteroids Inhaled: Vanceril, Pulmicort, AeroBid, Flovent, Azmacort Systemic: Methylprednisolone, Predisolone, Prednisone | relaxes muscles/open up. long term use for Asthma |
