◉ pharmacokinetic.
Answer: what happens in the body once med is administered
-Absorption

-Renal Excretion
◉ first-pass effect.
Answer: extent to which drug metabolized by liver before reaching
systemic circulation
◉ protein binding.
, Answer: protein (usually albumin) binds to medication to help chemicals
move through. When the medication is bound to the protein it is not

Answer: The amount that is left not bound called
the__________________and it performs the pharmacologic response

◉ antacids drug absorption.
Answer: Antacids 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..
Answer: Drug 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-
