care cost and improve patient outcome
\CNutritional intake and lab results reflect hypoalbuminemia; why is this important for prescribers? -
---The Distribution of drugs to target tissues may be affected
\CDrugs that have an significant first-pass effect what? - ---they are rapidly metabolized by the liver
and may have little if any desired action
\CThe route of excretion of a volatile drug will likely be? - ---Lungs
\CMedroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed IM to create storage reservoir of the drug.
What are storage reserviors> - ---Increased the length of time a drug is available and active
\CWhy is Cephalexin given every 8 hours? What knowledge of the drug does the NP know? - ---Half
Life
, \CAzithromycin doing requires that the first day's doing be twice those of the other four day; This is
considered a loading does. What is a loading dose? - ---Rapidly actives drug levels in the therapeutic
range

\CDrugs that are receptors antagonists, such as beta-blockers, may cause what? - ---An exaggerated
response if abrupt discontinues
\CDrug administration via IV:
1) need to be lipid soluble in order to absorb easily
2) Begin distribution in the body immediately

ranges or sustained-release mechanisms.
2) brands of a drug have the same bioavailability.
3) Drugs that are administered more than once a day have greater bioavailability than
drugs given once daily.
