Question

Half life

Answer 1

Time required for concentration of medication in bloodstream to decrease to half its original level.

Answer 2

Amount of time a single dose produces desired effect

Answer 3

absorption across mucous membranes or the skin Example glucose gel

Answer 4

``` Cardiac arrhythmia Diabetic emergency SeizureToxic ingestion or overdose StrokeTraumatic brain injury ```

Answer 5

Registered with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pharmacopeia-National (Written in lower case)

Answer 6

Created by pharmaceutical companies Always (begin with a capital letter)

Answer 7

Drug is partially metabolized Reduces amount of medication THINK ABOUT YOUR GROSS AND NET PAYCHECK

Answer 8

Occurs when medications penetrate cells by diffusing through cells membranes Think of breathing!

Answer 9

Occurs when drug molecule moves down concentration gradient Drug moves from area of high concentration to area of low concentration

Answer 10

Are sites on various tissue to which some drugs bind to exert their desired physiologic effects. Think about a key and lock. The DRUG is the key. The RECEPTOR is the lock.

Answer 11

is the movement of a medication from the point of administration. Example ( GI tract skin muscle) into the bloodstream for movement throughout the body.

Answer 12

Removal of drug or metabolite from body Kidney is typically the organ responsible for removal

Answer 13

Time interval from administration to desired effect

Answer 14

Occurs when drug is able to separate from cell’’s receptors When drug is removed from receptor, effect of drug stops

Answer 15

Some medications are unable to separate from receptor after they bind to receptor they bind to receptor. ASA PLAVIX MAOI’’s

Answer 16

Drug that produces desired physiologic effect upon binding with receptor Turn things on

Answer 17

Drug that diminishes or eradicates physiologic effect of agonist Turn things off

Answer 18

Considered serious Renal failure Bleeding Bone marrow suppression Progression of heart disease

Answer 19

Drugs that act on the parasympathetic nervous system.

Answer 20

Medications that exert effects on the sympathetic nervous system.

Answer 21

Cardiovascular in nature they are found on the heart. increase heart rate and contractility. Increases cardiac output

Answer 22

located on the bronchial smooth muscle. increases the diameter of the bronchial tree. Stimulation relaxes bronchial smooth muscle (Respiratory emergencies)

Answer 23

Primarily located on peripheral blood vessels Stimulation results in vasoconstriction and elevation systemic BPs

Answer 24

Located on nerve endings Provide negative feedback to nerves in sympathetic nervous system Signals process when goal or target is reached

Answer 25

physiological effects characteristic of the sympathetic nervous system by promoting the stimulation of sympathetic nerves.

Answer 26

EFFECTS THE HEART RATE POSTIVE INCREASES NEGATIVE DECREASES

Answer 27

EFFECTS THE SQUEEZE OF THE HEART MUSCLE POSTIVE MAKE SQUEEZE HARDER NEGATIVE DECREASE THE INTENSITY OF CARDIAC SQUEEZE

Answer 28

Fluids that have equal osmotic pressure with the body under normal conditions.

Answer 29

Fluids that have less osmotic pressure.

Answer 30

Fluids have greater than normal osmotic pressure,

Answer 31

Administer 60 gtt/mL Used with adrenergic agents and cardiac anti-arrhythmics Used with children sensitive to large amounts of IV fluids

Answer 32

Variety of sizesDrip factors of 10, 12, 15, and 20 gtt/mL

Answer 33

You need at least 3x amount of crystalloid | is required to increase intravascular volume to compensate.

Answer 34

Found inside cells

Answer 35

Found between cells and inside blood vessels

Answer 36

Requires macromolecule to assist in transport | Capable of reaching point of saturation.
