TEST- BUM AND CREATININE |
| HEPATOXICITY | LIVER DAMAGE |
| PEAK AND TROUGH | PEAK- THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION ON A DRUGS ABSORPTION
BLOOD SAMPLE TO DETERMINE
TROUGH- LOWEST CONCENTRATION OF A DRUG WHATS BEEN ELIMINATED. TAKEN RIGHT BEFORE NEXT DOSE. |

- KEEP CLIENT WARM
-CAN DEPRESS RESPIRATORY |
| PEDIATRIC PATIENT'S DOSING OF PRINCIPLES | -MEDS ARE BASED ON WEIGHT IN KG
-THINNER, MORE POROUS SKIN, FASTER TOPICAL ABSORPTION
-IM ABSORPTION FASTER& IRREGULAR
- 2 YRS HAVE SLOWER METABOLISM
-LOWER ENZYME IN LIVER |
| MEDS FOR MYASTHENIA GRAVES | TENSILON- IS USED TO DIAGNOSIS & TREAT
MESTINON- TREATS MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE MEALS |
| ALZHEIMER'S DRUGS | ARICEPT, EXELON, COGNEX, RAZADAYNE |
| POLYPHARMACY | MANY DRUGS BY DIFFERENT DOCTORS.
INTERVENTION- SUGGEST TO THE PATIENT THAT THEY SHOULD USE THE SAME PHARMACY FOR ALL MEDS. |
| ELDERLY PHARMACOKINETICS | ABSORPTION- LOWER IN GASTRIC ACIDITY (HIGHER pH) ALTERS ABSORPTION OF WEAK ACIDIC DRUGS
DISTRIBUTION- LOWER PROTEIN BINDING SITES INCREASE CIRCULATION OD FREE DRUGS
METABOLISM- LOWER ENZYME FUNCTION, LOWER DETOXIFYING DRUGS. HIGHER RISK OF TOXICITY.

HIGHLY TOXIC & CAUSE NEPHROTOXCITY & ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE |
| OVERDOSE OF URECHOLINE | ATROPINE SULFATE |
| SYNERGISTIC DRUG | TWO OR MORE DRUGS GIVEN TOGETHER & COMBINED GIVE A BETTER CLINICAL EFFECT
EX)DEMEROL & PHENERGAN- BOTH CAUSE DROWSINESS
EX) ALCOHOL & VALIUM- TOGTHER RAISE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION |
| SPINAL ANESTESIA CARE | NURSING PROCESS

| SECONAL | A BARBITUATE |
| TETRACYCLINE | -MAY DISCOLOR TEETH
-TAKE ON A EMPTY STOMACH
-PHOTOSENSITIVE |
| PENICILLIN | -OBTAIN CULTURE BEFORE FIRST DOSE
- TAKE 1 HR BEFORE OR 2 HRS AFTER EATING

-MAY CAUSE YEAST INFECTIONS |
| PARKINSONISM | MEDS TO BE TAKEN BENZTROPINE (COGENTIN) |
| ADRENERGIC ANTAGONIST (BLOCKER) | DECREASES SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
(LOL) BLOCKS BETA
EX)ATENOLOL- TREATS HYPERTENSION
ALWAYS CHECK BP & HR |
| AGONIST ADRENERGIC | SYMPATHETIC (INCREASES)
EX)EPINEPHRINE- TREATS- HYPERTENSION, ASTHMA, ALLERGIES
SIDE EFFECTS- TREMORS, N/V, DIZZINESS
ADVERSE: PALPATATIONS, TACHYCARDIA, DYSPEA |
