,Term 7 of 88
What is the risk of narrow therapeutic index?
If drugs are not administered at a specific time under special criteria the patient is at risk of
drug toxicity.
Narrow therapeutic index means drugs are less effective when taken together.
Patients with a narrow therapeutic index can take drugs at any time without risk.
Respirations, sweating & bowels. any way that a fluid would leave the body.

What the body does to the drugs; absorption, distribution, metabolism, & excretion
Stress, food, blood flow, status of the digestive tract, age, & immaturity of organs
