1qt= _________oz= _______pt= _________mL - (correct Answer) - 32oz, 2pt, 1,000mL
1cup= _________oz= ___________mL - (correct Answer) - 8oz, 240mL
1lb= ___________oz - (correct Answer) - 16oz
1kg= ________lb= ___________g - (correct Answer) - 2.2lb, 1,000g
1in= __________cm - (correct Answer) - 2.5cm
Medication rights - (correct Answer) - Right client, right medication, right dose, right route, right time,
and right documentation.
OTHERS: right indication, right to know, right to refuse, and right response.
Biotransformation - (correct Answer) - the alteration of a substance (drug) within the body
Occurs under influence of enzymes that detoxify, brea down, and remove active chemicals (occurs in
metabolization of liver, lungs, kidneys, blood and intestines)
Pharmokinetics - (correct Answer) - study of how meds enter the body, reach their site of action,
metabolize, and exit the body
Pharmodynamics - (correct Answer) - how the drug affects the body
Therapeutic effect - (correct Answer) - expected or predicted physiological response caused by a
medication
Adverse effect - (correct Answer) - undesired, unintended, and unpredictable responses to meds
Side effect - (correct Answer) - predictable and often unavoidable adverse effect produced at a usual
therapeutic dose
, toxic effect - (correct Answer) - develop after prolonged intake of a med or when a med accumulates in
the blood bc of impaired metabolism/excretion; can be lethal.
Antidotes are generally used to treat this
Idiosyncratic reaction - (correct Answer) - unpredictable effects; pt overreacts or underreacts to a
medication or has a reaction different from normal
Anaphylactic reactions - (correct Answer) - life threatening; severe allergic reactions; sudden
construction of bronchial muscles, edema of the pharynx and larynx, and severe wheezing and shortness
of breath.
Antibiotics cause a high incidence of allergic reactions
Synergistic effect - (correct Answer) - relationship between meds in which their combined effects is
greater than the effect of the meds when given separately
Ophthalmic Medications - (correct Answer) - meds for eyes
Polypharmacy - (correct Answer) - use of multiple meds, use of potentially inappropriate or unnecessary
meds, or the use of a med that does not match a diagnosis
Medication reconciliation - (correct Answer) - comparing meds a patient is taking currently with what
the pt should be taking and any newly ordered meds
1. Obtain, verify, document list of meds
2. Consider and compare current meds with new meds
3. Reconcile regarding any discrepancies of the meds
4. Communicate with pt's providers to verify changes
Medication error - (correct Answer) - any preventable event that may cause inappropriate med use or
jeopardize pt safety
Medication tolerance vs. Medication dependence - (correct Answer) - In med tolerance, pt needs higher
dose to receive the same therapeutic effect, whereas in med dependence, pt is addicted to the meds
and experiences physical or psychological disturbances when not taking it
Intraarticular - (correct Answer) - injection into a joint
Instillation - (correct Answer) - to cause to enter drop by drop or very slowly into a body cavity
