kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
k r 1. A patient’s nutritional intake and laboratory results reflect hypoalbuminemia. This is critical
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
to prescribing because:
kr kr kr
1. Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected. kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
2. The solubility of the drug will not match the site of absorption.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
3. There will be less free drug available to generate an effect.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
4. Drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the kidneys.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
k r 2. Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
kr kr kr kr kr kr k r
1. Must be given by the enteral (oral) route only
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
2. Bypass the hepatic circulation kr kr kr
3. Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little if any desired action
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
4. Are converted by the liver to more active and fat-soluble forms
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
k r k r 3. The route of excretion of a volatile drug will likely be the:
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
1. Kidneys
2. Lungs
3. Bile and feces kr kr
4. Skin
k r 4. Medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed intramuscularly (IM) to create a
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
storage reservoir of the drug. Storage reservoirs:
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
1. Assure that the drug will reach its intended target tissue kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
2. Are the reason for giving loading doses
kr kr kr kr kr kr
3. Increase the length of time a drug is available and active kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
4. Are most common in collagen tissues kr kr kr kr kr
k r k r 5. The NP chooses to give cephalexin every 8 hours based on knowledge of the drug’s:
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
1. Propensity to go to the target receptor kr kr kr kr kr kr
2. Biological half-life kr
3. Pharmacodynamics
4. Safety and side effects kr kr kr
, k r 6. Azithromycin dosing requires that the first day’s dosage be twice those of the other 4 days of
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
the prescription. This is considered a loading dose. A loading dose:
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
1. Rapidly achieves drug levels in the therapeutic range
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
2. Requires four- to five-half-lives to attain
kr kr kr kr kr
3. Is influenced by renal function
kr kr kr kr
4. Is directly related to the drug circulating to the target tissues
