Galen Pharmacology Test 1 with
complete solutions graded A
ear drops - correct answerINSTILL AT ROOM TEMP/ child- down and back/ adult- up
and back
eye drops - correct answerimportant to instill the eye drop medication into the
conjunctival sac (not the eyeball/cornea). inner to outer
enema - correct answerpatient lays on left side
pharmacokinetic - correct answerwhat happens in the body once med is administered
-Absorption
-Distribution/ Binding
-Metabolism
-Renal Excretion
first-pass effect - correct answerextent to which drug metabolized by liver before
reaching systemic circulation
protein binding - correct answerprotein (usually albumin) binds to medication to help
chemicals move through. When the medication is bound to the protein it is not available
to perform its action the body
free drug - correct answerThe amount that is left not bound called
the__________________and it performs the pharmacologic response
pharmacodynamics phase - correct answerrefers to the effects drugs will have on a
patient and the mechanism of their actions.
antacids drug absorption - correct answerAntacids cause a pharmokinetic interaction
which is what the body does to the drug in terms of absorption, distribution, metabolism,
and excretion. Antacids increase the PH of gastric juices which causes a decrease in
the absorption of weak acid drugs such as tetracycline
gastric and intestinal motility influence drug absorption. - correct answerDrug absorption
is the movement of the drug into the bloodstream after administration (McCuistion &
Vuljoin-Dimmagio, 2018, p. 16). The lining of the small intestine is covered in villi that
increase the the surface area for absorption and is decreased because of disease or
drugs (p.16). Absorption in the small intestine is done by passive transport, active
transport, or pinocytosis (p.16). In the GI tract the lining is made up of a mucous
membrane composes of lipids and proteins which allows lipid soluble drugs to easily
pass through (p. 16-17). If the drug is water soluble it will need a protein or enzyme
carrier to pass through (p.17).
Benzodiazepine - correct answerAlprazolam, Midazolam, Lorazepam,Diazepam
