Define Pharmacokinetics - answersThe impact of the body on drugs. How much of an
administered dose gets to its sites of action.
Four major pharmokinetic processes - answersDrug absorption, drug distribution, drug
metabolism, and drug excretion.
Define Pharmacodynamics - answersThe impact of drugs on the body. The nature and
intensity of the response to the drug.
Two major areas in which you can apply pharmacologic knowledge. - answersPatient
care and patient education.
Seven aspects of drug therapy. - answersPre administration assessment, dosage and
administration, evaluating and promoting therapeutic effects, minimizing adverse
effects, minimizing adverse reactions, making "as needed" (PRN) decisions, and
managing toxicity.
Pre administration assessment - answersThree basic goals: collecting baseline data
needed to evaluate therapeutic and adverse responses, identifying high -risk patients,
and assessing the patient's capacity for self-care.
To help reduce adverse effects, you must know - answersThe major adverse effects the
drug can produce, when these reactions are likely to occur, early signs that an adverse
reaction is developing, and interventions that can minimize discomfort and harm.
PRN - answerspro re nata, a Latin phrase meaning as needed
Nursing process - answersADPIE - Assessment, analysis (diagnosis), planning,
implementation, and evaluation.
Complete nursing diagnosis - answersA statement of the pt's actual or potential health
problem, a statement of the problem's probable cause or risk factors, and the signs,
symptoms, or other evidence of the problem. Statements are separated by the phrases
related to and as evidenced by
Objective of drug therapy - answersProduce maximum benefit with minimum harm
Pre administration assessment - answersEstablish the baseline data needed to tailor
drug therapy to the individual.
