| What is the SA or sinoatrail node called? | the pacemaker of the heart. |
| What does asprin do? | reduces the amount of red blood cell platlets to help prevent clotting. |
| How do you calculate lbs to kg? | lbs divided by 2.2 = kg |
| grain | gr. |
| quart | qt. |
| pint | pt. |
| What is the smallest unit of measure? | minim |
| gr i = | 60mg |
| qt i = | 1 liter or pt ii |
| pt i = | 500ml |
| The heart is as big as... | a mans fist |
| What are the 3 layers of the heart? | 1. Endocardium2. Myocardium3. Pericardium |
| What are the 4 valves? | 1. pulmonary valve2. aortic valve3. tricuspid valve4. mitral valve |
| radial pulse point | radial (thumb side) of the wrist. |
| brachial pulse point | antecubital space of the elbow |
| carotid pulse point | neck |
| temporal pulse point | temple |
| femoral pulse point | groin |
| popliteal pulse point | behind the knee |
| dorsalis pedis pulse point | upper surface of the foot |

| Pharmacokinetics | drug processing by the body. |
| ADME | the process in which the changes that drugs undergo within the body. |
| ADME - A = Absorption | getting into the bloodstream |
| ADME - D = Distribution | moving from the bloodstream into the tissues and fluids of the body |
| ADME - M = Metabolism | physical and chemical alterations that a substance undergoes in the body |
| ADME - E = Excretion | Eliminating waste products of drug metabolism from the body |
| The 3 types of drug interactions are: | 1. Synergism 2. Potentiation 3. Antagonism |
| Synergism | Action of 2 drugs working together in which one helps the other for an effect neither drug could produce alone |
| Potentiation | Action of 2 drugs in which one drug prolongs or multiplies the effect of the othr drug |
| Antagonism | One drug works against the other |
| Minimum dose | smallest amount that can be given that will still produce desired effect |
| Maximum dose | largest dose that can be given that will produce desired effect without producing symptoms of toxicity |
| Loading dose | initial high dose, given to quickly elevate the level of drug in the blood |
| Maintenance dose | dose required to keep the drug level at a steady state in order to maintain desired effect |
| Toxic dose | amount of drug that will produce harmful side effects or systoms of poisoning |
| Lethal dose | dose that causes death |
| Therapeutic dose | dose that is customarily given |
| LD 50 = Lethal dose | kills 1/2 of the lab animals its given to |
| Teratogenic Effect | administration of drug that causes developmental or physical defects in a fetus |
| Idiosyncrasy | unique, unusual response to a drug |
| Tolerance | decreased response of a drug due to prolonged usage |
| Dependence | acquired need for a drug that may produce either physical or psychological withdraw symptoms when drug is discontinued. Dependence can be physical or psychological |
| Hypersensitivity | Immune response to a drug (allergic reaction) |
| Anaphylactic | serious, possibly life threatening allergic reaction |
| buccal | in between gum and cheek |
| sublingual | under tongue |
