The largest amount of Maximum Dose
medication either as a
single dose or within a
period time (such as 24
hours)
i.e max dose for Tylenol
for an otherwise healthy
adult is 3000mg
administering a Titration
medication with variable
strength, interval, and
quantity to achieve and
maintain a desired,
observable physiological
effect
a medical reason to Absolute Contraindication
NEVER give a medication
a medical reason a med Relative contraindication
should not be given but
may be acceptable in
certain circumstances
hypersensitivity response Allergy
induced by exposure
an unintended but not Side effect
surprising consequence of
a medication (besides an
allergy)
the desire change in Therapeutic effect
physiology for
administering the
medication

the blood level of a Therapeutic level
medication required to
achieve the therapeutic
effect
the blood level of a Toxic level
medication which will
cause tissue damage
When medication is at its Peak
highest concentration
the lowest blood level of a Trough
medication between
doses
the time for the body to Half-life
eliminate 1/2 of the dose
of medication
a relatively constant blood Steady State
level of medication which
is sustained after 5-6 half-
lives of medication
the body has adapted to Tolerance
having a medication
regularly and now
requires higher or more
frequent doses to achieve
the therapeutic effect
when infectious organisms Resistance
adapt to antibiotics or
antivirals and it takes
either higher doses of the
same medication or a
change to a different
medication to kill the
organisms
3/33

the process of the body to Metabolism
break down and eliminate
medications
the recommended time Dosing interval
period between doses of
a medication
the time until a Onset
medication's therapeutic
effect begins
the time until the Duration of Effect
medication's therapeutic
effect wears off
the length of time a Duration of Therapy
course of medication is
continued to ensure the
desired effect is
maintained
All of the limitations, Dosing parameters
considerations and
instructions required,
regarding a medication, to
help achieve the desired
physiological response
while minimizing side
effects
other medical problems Comorbidities
which may affect
metabolism or may make
the patient more
susceptible for a side
effect or toxicity
