What |are |the |4 |elements |of |pharmacokinetics?
A |bsorption
D |istribution
M |etabolism
E |xcretion
absorption
the |process |of |moving |a |drug |from |the |site |of |administration |to |the |bloodstream
distribution
describes |how |drugs |are |transported |throughout |the |body
metabolism
a |process |that |changes |the |activity |of.a |drug |and |makes |it |more |likely |to |be |excreted
,excretion
process |that |removes |drugs |from |the |body |(can |be |renal, |pulmonary, |glandular, |or |fecal)
enteral |route
GI |tract |given |by:
-PO
-nasogastric |tube
-gastrostomy |tube
Why |are |drugs |given |via |enteral |route?
they |are |intended |to |be |absorbed |into |the |general |circulation |which |takes |advantage |of |the |
oral |mucosa, |stomach, |and |the |intestine
enteric |coated |tablets
designed |to |dissolve |in |the |alkaline |environment |of |the |small |intestine

considered |the |safest |because |the |skin |barrier |is |not |compromised |and |with |overdoses |drugs |
in |the |stomach |can |be |retrieved |by |suctioning |or |inducing |vomiting
extended |release |tablets
designed |to |dissolve |slowly |resulting |in |longer |duration |of |action |and |normally |contain |a |high |
dose |of |medication
True |or |False: |You |can |crush |an |extended |release
FALSE, |opening |the |capsule |or |crushing |the |tablet |releases |the |entire |drug |IMMEDIATELY |
which |can |result |in |toxicity
