Pharmacotherapeutics Exam 1 with accurate detailed solutions || || || || || ||
Biotechnology - ✔✔process that may involve manipulating deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
|| || || || || || || || || ||
and ribonucleic acid (RNA) and recombining genes into hybrid molecules that can be
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
inserted into living organisms (often Escherichia coli bacteria) and repeatedly reproduced
|| || || || || || || || || ||
pharmacotherapetics - ✔✔the use of drugs to prevent, Dx, or treat signs, symptoms, and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
disease processes
||
pharmocology ||
pharmacotherapeutics
pharmacokinetics
pharmacoeconomics - ✔✔cost of drug therapy || || || || ||
pharmacogenomics - ✔✔study how a person's genetic heritage leads to variable responses
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
to drugs. Example- BiDil - a drug for heart failure approved for African American

bioavailability - ✔✔the portion of a dose that reaches the systemic circulation and is
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
available to act on body cells. IV is always 100%
|| || || || || || || || ||
Brand (trade) name - ✔✔manufacturer's chosen name for a drug, which is protected by a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
patent
Brand (trade) name - ✔✔Amoxil and Tylenol are examples of a ____ name
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
generic name - ✔✔chemical or official name of the drug that is independent of the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
manufacturer and often indicates the drug group || || || || || ||
prototype - ✔✔a drug _______ is often the first drug of a particular drug class to be
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
developed; usually the standard against which newer, similar drugs are compared
|| || || || || || || || || ||
first-pass effect - ✔✔when drugs given orally are absorbed from the GI tract and carried to
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the liver through the hepatal portal vein. Some drugs are extensively metabolized in the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
liver so only a portion of the drug reaches systemic circulation for distribution. this

describes the _____ || ||
Controlled substances - ✔✔drugs that are categorized by federal law according to
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
therapeutic usefulness and potential for abuse; also known as scheduled drugs

Drug classifications - ✔✔groups of medications that are classified according to their effects
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
on particular body systems, their therapeutic uses, and their chemical characteristics
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs - ✔✔medications available for purchase without a
|| || || || || || || || || ||
prescription
Prodrugs - ✔✔initially inactive drugs that exert no pharmacologic effects until they are
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
metabolized
Serum drug level - ✔✔laboratory measurement of the amount of a drug in the blood at a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
particular time ||
Pharmacotherapy - ✔✔use of drugs to prevent, diagnose, or treat signs, symptoms, and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
disease processes||
Placebo - ✔✔inert substance containing no medication and given to reinforce a person's
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
expectation to improve || ||
Agonist - ✔✔drug that produces effects similar to those produced by naturally occurring
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
hormones, neurotransmitters, and other substances
|| || || ||
Antagonist - ✔✔drug that inhibits cell function by occupying receptor sites
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Pharmacology - ✔✔study of drugs and their action/effects on living organisms.
