EXAM COMPLETE ACCURATE EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS (100%
CORRECT ANSWERS) /ALREADY GRADED A+
harmacodynamics - ANSWER The process by which a medication works on the
body.
Pharmacokinetics - ANSWER The process by which drugs are absorbed,
distributed within the body, metabolized, and excreted.
Pharmacogenomics - ANSWER The study of the influence of genetic factors on
drug response that result in the absence, overabundance, or insufficiency of drug-
metabolizing enzymes
Medication side effect - ANSWER a nearly unavoidable secondary effect of a drug
produced at therapeutic doses which is generally predictable and with an intensity
that is dose-dependent
Adverse Effect - ANSWER A drug-induced, secondary effect of a drug that
produces a change in a patients condition that is noxious, harmful or unpleasant,
which requires treatment or reduction or discontinuation of the drug and which
usually occurs at therapeutic doses.
Type A adverse drug reactions - ANSWER exaggerated, but otherwise expected
pharmacological effect of a drug -> predictable and dose dependent -> ex. toxicity of
overdose, side effects, secondary effects, drug interactions
Type B adverse drug reactions - ANSWER idiosyncratic effects (not expected) ->
dose independent and unpredictable -> intolerance, hypersensitivity, pseudo allergic,
idiosyncratic
Drug tolerance - ANSWER the tendency for larger doses of a drug to be required
over time to achieve the same effect
Physical drug dependence - ANSWER condition where a person's body becomes
unable to function normally without a particular drug
Psychological dependence - ANSWER a condition in which a person believes that
a drug is needed in order to feel good or to function normally
Allergic reaction - ANSWER An immunologic hypersensitivity reaction resulting
from the unusual sensitivity of a patient to a particular medication; a type of adverse
drug event.
, Idiosyncratic or paradoxical reaction - ANSWER When a drug may cause a totally
unexpected and often opposite effect in a few patients
Carcinogenic reaction - ANSWER medications and environmental chemicals that
are thought to cause cancer
Teratogenic reaction - ANSWER Refers to the drug induced damage that develops
in the fetus
Beneficial potentiative drug-drug interaction - ANSWER Aspirin and Codeine are
both analgesic drugs and when administered concurrently the combo provides better
pain relief than either one alone. What type of drug interaction is this?
Beneficial Potentiative Drug-Drug Interaction - ANSWER Use of Beta Blockers and
Diuretics together for hypertension will provide better control blood pressure. What
type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful potentiative Drug-Drug interaction - ANSWER Use of diazepam together
with Morphine will have additive CNS depression and could lead to respiratory
distress. What type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful potentiative Drug-Drug interaction - ANSWER Concurrent use of aspirin
with Coumadin will significantly increase each others inhibitory effects on blood
coagulation, resulting in an increase risk for bleeding. What type of drug interaction
is this?
Beneficial inhibitory drug interaction - ANSWER Use of Naloxone after an overdose
of Meperidine is an example of what type of drug interaction?
Beneficial inhibitory drug interaction - ANSWER Giving Protamine when there is
excessive bleeding from overdose of Heparin is an example of what type of drug
interaction?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - ANSWER Giving Naloxone to a patient who is
physically dependent to Morphine will reverse Morphines effects provoking an acute
withdrawal syndrome. What type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - ANSWER Administering loperamide and Milk of
Magnesia together will cancel each others actions producing no benefit for the
patient either way. What type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - ANSWER Injecting NPH insulin into a bottle of
regular insulin causing a precipitate and inactivation of the regular insulin is an
example of what type of drug interaction?
Pharmacokinetic Drug interctions - ANSWER type of drug-drug interaction that
occurs when the pharmacokinetics of one drug alter the clinical effects of another
drug by altering its pharmacokinetics
