Positively chared ions

Which pressure is high at the venule end but low at the arteriole end?

Example of supplemental therapy:

Fluid is building up in interstitial space, but can still be removed through therapy (Edema)

The desired intention of the medication.

Select which are part of the 10 rights of medication administration

Drugs that bind and stimulate the activity of one or more receptors in the body.

Water is gained through urination, sweating & breathing.

The level at which adverse bodily effects occur due to poisonous levels of the drug. (B)

The broadest term for the study of drugs

Select which are part of the 10 rights of medication administration

In therapeutic drug monitoring, peak and trough levels are measured to max therapeutic effects and min toxic effects.

What are routes mechanisms of action?

Example of supportive therapy:

Biotransformation; alters into inactive metabolite, more soluble compund, a more/less active metabolite

The lowest blood level of a drug

Drugs that bind to and inhibit the activity of one ore more receptors in the body; inhibitors

Fluid is building up in inappropriate spaces (acites, hydrocephalus) therapy may or may not be available to solve.

The study of biochemical and physiological interactions of drugs and sites of activity; properties of drugs & receptors

Water balance through retention of H2O & Na+ by RAAS (Increase BP)

What is ICF primary cation?

An abnormal and unexpected response to a medication, other than allergic, specific to patient.

What is ECF primary cation?

The state in where all the body processes maintain balance and compensate for misbalances

The elimination of drugs from the body

An undesried effect directly related to the drug.

Any undersirable occurence as a resulting of administering OR failing to administer perscribed medication

Large class of enzymes that play a significant role in drug metabolism & interactions

Intracellular fluid is fluid that is inside of the cells

The treatment of pathological conditions through the use of drugs.

Which pressure is higher at the atreriole end but lower at the venule end?

Water balance through water excretion by releasing ANF&BNP, inhibiting ADH & RAAS (Decreasing BP)

The transport of a drug by bloodstream to site of action

Responsibility, Knowledge based practice, ethical practice, service to the public, self-regulation are all a part of:

2 Parenteral drugs are mixed together, causing chemical deterioration of one or both drugs. (Furosemide & Heparin)

Negatively charged ions

Safety, Authority, Knowledge, and Ethics are all a part of

Excessive diahhrea, vomitting, inadequate fluid intake, hemorrhaging, plasma-to-IF shift causes:

The minimum amount of a drug to take effect. (C)

Methods of enteral route

Select which types of fluid are considered transcellular:

First space fluid spacing is when the fluid is in the correct space

Drug chemically binds to __. This alters the the __ interaction with its normal target molecules in the body

Select which are part of the 10 rights of medication administration

Example of prophylactic therapy:

Which organ is the most important site for metabolism?

Water balance through sensing high Na+, releasing ADH, and retaining water. (Increasing BP)

What is the main organ responsible for excretion?

A measure of the fraction of a drug administered dose that is delievered unchanged to the systemic circulation (0-100%)

Methods of parenteral route

The name that describes the chemical compsition and molecular structure of a drug.

An effect of a medication which is common but not intentional

Proprietary name

Approximately, how much blood is in the human body?

Any preventable error that may lead to medication misuse or harm to the paitent.

Example of Maintenance Therapy:

The initial metabolism in the liver of a drug absorbed from GI tract before drug reaches systemic circulation

Select which are part of the 10 rights of medication administration

Checking the label on a medication for dose, name, and expirary date when picking, pouring, & put away is best practice.

The study of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME)

What is the average water content for the adult human body?

The max concentration of a drug in the body after administration (A)

The combination of two drugs results in less than the sum of the effects for each drug (Ciprofloxacin & Vitamins)

Increase Hydrostatic, Decrease plasma oncotic, Increase interstitial oncotic =

Nonproprietary name

Drugs that can cross the placenta and effect the fetus are called teratogens

Example of acute therapy:

Enteric coating is used to allow medication to not dissolve in stomach, allowing the medication to be absorbed in GI

Example of palliative therapy:

Intravascular, Interstitial, & Transcellular fluid are all a part of this type of fluid:

Any chemical that effects the physiological processes of a living organism.

The time required for serum drug levels to be reduces to 50%

Occurs when the actino of one drug inhances the action of another. (Acteaminophen & Alcohol)

The physiological state in which the drug is removed via elimination is equal to the amount of drug absorbed each dose

The order of slowest to fastest: IV, IM, SC, Sublingual, Rectal, Oral, Transdermal/topical

What are strategies to prevent medication errors?
