acceptable in certain circumstances - Answer - : Relative
contraindication
hypersensitivity response induced by exposure - Answer - :
Allergy
an unintended but not surprising consequence of a medication
(besides an allergy) - Answer - : Side effect
the desire change in physiology for administering the medication
- Answer - : Therapeutic effect
the blood level of a medication required to achieve the
therapeutic effect - Answer - : Therapeutic level
the blood level of a medication which will cause tissue damage -
Answer - : Toxic level
When medication is at its highest concentration - Answer - :
Peak
the lowest blood level of a medication between doses - Answer -
: Trough

Answer - : Half-life
a relatively constant blood level of medication which is
sustained after 5-6 half-lives of medication - Answer - : Steady
State
,the body has adapted to having a medication regularly and now
requires higher or more frequent doses to achieve the therapeutic
effect - Answer - : Tolerance

the desired effect is maintained - Answer - : Duration of
Therapy
All of the limitations, considerations and instructions required,
regarding a medication, to help achieve the desired
physiological response while minimizing side effects - Answer -
: Dosing parameters
, other medical problems which may affect metabolism or may
make the patient more susceptible for a side effect or toxicity -
Answer - : Comorbidities
medications which kill or inhibit the reproduction of bacteria -
Answer - : Antibiotics
categorizes bacteria into either a GRAM POSITIVE or GRAM
NEGATIVE - Answer - : Gram Stain Testing
usually constant for each dose, but may change - Answer - :
Strength of medication
this is usually based on an hourly time interval or a number of
times per day - Answer - : Frequency of each dose
indicates the presence of peptidoglycan (is the substance that
forms a tough and rigid cell wall)
retains color of gram stain - Answer - : Gram positive
indicates that the cell membrane out structure consists of a
cytoplasmic membrane surrounded by a thin layer of
peptidoglycn
does not retain color from gram staining - Answer - : Gram
negative
