| agonist vs antagonist | a substance that initiates a physiological response when combined with a receptor. anta-blocks |
| anaphylactic shock | an extreme, often life-threatening allergic reaction to an antigen to which the body has become hypersensitive. |
| body surface area | n physiology and medicine, the body surface area (BSA) is the measured or calculated surface of a human body. For many clinical purposes BSA is a better indicator of metabolic mass than body weight because it is less affected by abnormal adipose mass. |
| adverse drug reaction | In medicine, an adverse effect is a harmful and undesired effect resulting from a medication or other intervention such as surgery. |
| agonist vs antagonist | a substance that initiates a physiological response when combined with a receptor. anta-blocks |

| drip factor | An indication of the number of drops needed to obtain one milliliter of solution delivered by a manufacturer's I.V. tubing based on the drop size |
| body surface area | body surface exposed to the environment. |
| enteral | involving or passing through the intestine, either naturally via the mouth and esophagus, or through an artificial opening. |
| buccal | between cheek and teeth. |
| enteric-coated | barrier applied to oral medication that controls the location in the digestive system where it is absorbed. Enteric refers to the small intestine, therefore enteric coatings prevent release of medication before it reaches the small intestine. |
