SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ IV. Answer: What kind of route? Risk for infection
◉ IV. Answer: What kind of route? Risk for air embolus
◉ IM/SubQ. Answer: What kind of route? Into the muscle
◉ IM/SubQ. Answer: What kind of route? Few barriers to absorption
◉ IM/SubQ. Answer: What kind of route? Most medications move
through pores in capillaries
◉ IM/SubQ. Answer: Medication moves through the tissue and
enters bloodstream through pores in capillaries
◉ IM/SubQ. Answer: What kind of route?Lower bioavailability than
IV
,◉ IM/SubQ. Answer: What kind of route? Slower onset than IV
◉ IM/SubQ. Answer: What kind of route? Painful
◉ Oral. Answer: What kind of route? Medications have to move
through membranes to reach bloodstream
◉ Oral. Answer: What kind of route? Slow onset
◉ Oral. Answer: What kind of route? Lowest bioavailability
◉ Oral. Answer: What kind of route? Most convenient
◉ Oral. Answer: What kind of route? Have to pass through the liver
on their way to the systemic circulation
◉ Proenteral. Answer: anything except oral
◉ Membranes. Answer: Are composed of layers of individual cells
◉ Phospholipid cell membrane. Answer: Is major barrier of drug
Absorption
, ◉ A drug's ability to move through an individual cell. Answer: Ability
to move through the entire membrane is determined by:
◉ Individual cells, between them. Answer: In many cases, drugs will
pass through the ___________ ___________, rather than _____________
_____________
◉ Passage through channels or pores, Transport Systems, Direct
Penetration. Answer: How do Drugs move across Cell Membranes?
◉ Passage through channels or pores. Answer: Method of moving
across Cell Membrane, very narrow passageways, Very few drugs
use this method (ions)
◉ Transport Systems. Answer: Method of moving across Cell
Membrane, Carriers that move drugs from one side of the membrane
to the other, Some require energy, All are selective
◉ Direct Penetration. Answer: Cell Membrane Crossing Method,
Method for most oral medications, Meds dissolve in phospholipid
membrane and move through, Since the cell membrane is made of
phospholipid, molecules must be lipid soluble to dissolve in the cell
membrane
