Define Pharmacokinetics - answer-The impact of the body on drugs. How much of an
administered dose gets to its sites of action.
Four major pharmokinetic processes - answer-Drug absorption, drug distribution, drug
metabolism, and drug excretion.
Define Pharmacodynamics - answer-The impact of drugs on the body. The nature and
intensity of the response to the drug.
Two major areas in which you can apply pharmacologic knowledge. - answer-Patient
care and patient education.
Seven aspects of drug therapy. - answer-Pre administration assessment, dosage and
administration, evaluating and promoting therapeutic effects, minimizing adverse
effects, minimizing adverse reactions, making "as needed" (PRN) decisions, and
managing toxicity.
Pre administration assessment - answer-Three basic goals: collecting baseline data
needed to evaluate therapeutic and adverse responses, identifying high -risk patients,
and assessing the patient's capacity for self-care.
To help reduce adverse effects, you must know - answer-The major adverse effects the
drug can produce, when these reactions are likely to occur, early signs that an adverse
reaction is developing, and interventions that can minimize discomfort and harm.
