Question
Answer
Pharmacology   show
🗑
show (drug therapy) The use of drugs to prevent, diagnose, or treat signs, symptoms and disease processes.  
🗑
show drug movement through the body. What the body does to the drug. Includes: Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion  
🗑
Pharmacodynamics   show
🗑
show chemical substances that affect cellular function  
🗑
Medications   show
🗑
Local effect   show
🗑
Systemic efect   show
🗑
Immediate or Long-term effects   show
🗑
Sources of drugs   show
🗑
Names of drugs in 3 categories   show
🗑
show Major: according to body system, which one it effects(cardiovascular)Minor: indicates use or purpose (antianginal)  
🗑
Prototype   show
🗑
Role of the FDA?   show
🗑
show US Pharmacopeia- provides drug standards for quality strength and purity.  
🗑
Phase 1 Drug approval process   show
🗑
Phase 2 drug approval process   show
🗑
show given to larger group of people with disease (blind & DB studies occur w/ use of placebo  
🗑
Phase 4 drug approval process   show
🗑
Controlled substances   show
🗑
Controlled substance act   show
🗑
show Drug Enforcement Administration: enforces controlled substance act  
🗑
show the lower the #, the higher potential for abuse. These differ in dispensing regulations. EX:schedule II-72 hr stop date-no refills  
🗑
nursing responsibilities   show
🗑
show witnessed and co-signed by another nurse  
🗑
Drug Action on the Cell   show
🗑
show time drug enters the body to time drug enters the bloodstream to be circulated.  
🗑
show dosage:too small, too large, correct dose, loading dose, form of dose, route,food.  
🗑
Loading dose   show
🗑
show Liquid (absorb faster then tablets), Tablets, gases  
🗑
Kinds of tablets   show
🗑
show Enteral: GI tract (oral, NGT, GT)Parenteral: Non-GI tract (injection, IV, topical) Absorbed faster in blood  
🗑
Food and Absorption   show
🗑
show drugs transported from bloodstream to site of action. Determined by bloodflow. Decrease in CO or circulation will reduce it.  
🗑
Protein binding   show
🗑
show 70% of the drug is active, 30% inactive.  
🗑
show It allows part of the drug to be stored and released as needed.  
🗑
What is normal range for serum albumin level (primary protein)?   show
🗑
What happens when the albumin level is too low?   show
🗑
Ability for drug to cross certain membranes?   show
🗑
show The breakdown to inactivate the drug  
🗑
show Liver  
🗑
show It converts fat-soluable drugs into water-soluable metabolites. Enzymes also inactivate drug.  
🗑
WHy are oral doses generally larger than parenteral?   show
🗑
show Oral drugs travel to portal vein and liver before entering general circulation  
🗑
What happens with impaired liver function?   show
🗑
Excretion   show
🗑
show Impaired kidneys-impairs excretion- drug accumulation-ADR/toxicity. Reduce the dose, monitor kidneys (creatinine levels and I&O)  
🗑
show Measures the amount of drug in the blood.  
🗑
show an excessive level of drug in blood where toxicity occurs  
🗑
Therapeutic range   show
🗑
show The time required for the serum concentration of a drug to decrease by 50%.  
🗑
show So you don't overdose patient, and it determines the dose scheduling (drugs w/short life require frequent dosages)  
🗑
show CHemically by binding with receptors at the cellular level. Drug fits into receptor sites like key and lock. Can inhibit of stimulate cell function.  
🗑
Receptors   show
🗑
show *How well it fits into the receptor sites*How many receptor sites are occupied  
🗑
How do drugs cause depolarization of cells?   show
🗑
show they can modify the release, synthesis, or inactivation of neurotransmitters (regulate physiologic processes) ex.norepinephrine, seratonin, acetylcholine  
🗑
Drug-drug interactions   show
🗑
Additive effect   show
🗑
show drug effects are decreased. ex. tetracycline and antacid=decreased absorption of tetracycline  
🗑
show 2 drugs with different actions produce greater effect than either given alone. ex.codeine and tylenol=greater pain relief  
🗑
show when one drug interferes with the metabolism or elimination of a 2nd drug causing an increased effect of the 2nd drug. ex. tagamet and theophylline=decreased theophylline metabolism  
🗑
show a complete attachment and cellular response occur. Similar to natural processes of neurotransmitters or hormones (morphine stimulates supression of pain signals)  
🗑
show cause a small response in cell and block other responses  
🗑
show a drug given to reduce the toxic effects of another drug. ex. Narcan to relieve effects of morphine  
🗑
show drugs that inhibit cell functions by attaching and blocking receptor sites to natural body substances or other drugs. ex. Narcan- wakes you up  
🗑
Food can alter:tetracycline,warfarin/coumadin, calcium channel blockers in what ways   show
🗑
Unit dose   show
🗑
Variables that effect druge action   show
🗑
Hepatotoxity   show
🗑
Nephrotoxicity   show
🗑
Tolerance   show
🗑
show first dose- unexpected reaction  
🗑
allergic   show
🗑
show 1st dose not fully metabolized before another dose is given. can cause permanent or temporary damage to body tissues. Promote elimination, ABCs, IV, etc.  
🗑
show Giving Ipecac, gastric lavage, charcoal  
🗑
Maintenance therapy   show
🗑
Prophylactic therapy   show
🗑
show ratio of drugs lethal dose to its therapeutic dose. Lower the therapeautic index, the more narrow range.  
🗑
show Pc-A- no riskPC-X- contradicted (teratogenic effects)PC B ex.morphine is safe to give  
🗑
Narcotic analgesics   show
🗑
