We are one drug modifies the action of another drug
Drug interactions
A chemical name
Generic drug
Trademark
Trade name
The studies how the drug enters the body and reach their site of action and how they are metabolized
Pharmacokinetics
Types and concentration of substance other than the drug that can be in the tablet
Purity
The amount of active drug in pre-preparation contributing to it strength
Potency
The drug ability to dissolve be absorbed and transported in the body its desires site action
bioavailability
Laboratory studies providing proof that the drug is effective for its intended use
Efficiency
Sufficient studies completed to indicate potential side effects adverse effect and toxic reaction safety is determined from the data
Safety

Anti tissue
Nitroglycerin is a what
Antianginal
Slow absorption
Skin, oral, subcutaneous
FastFast absorption
Mucous membrane and respiratory tract
Depends on the form of the drug Aqueous Is Quicker compared with oil which slow Absorption not a lot of meds mix with oil
Intramuscular
Most rapid absorption
Intravenous
The___patient wt the concentration of the___ drug will be in the tissue
Less higher
By mouth rather liquid or tablet
Oral
Under the tongue either tincture or dissolvable tablet
Sublingual
Between the cheek in the gum
BUCCAL
Within the layer of the skin
Intradermal
Under the skin
Subcutaneous
Within the vein
Intravenous
Directly into the epidural space in the spine
Epidural
The space between cell
Intrathecal
Apply to the skin eyes ear for a local effect
Topical
Applied in a small area for systemic absorption
Transdermal
Inserted into the vagina for a local treatment
Vaginal
Insert it into the rectum for local or systemic effect
Rectal
Inhaled into the nose or lungs for a local And systemic affect
I inhalation
Verify patient identification before each med is administration
Right patient
Correct interpret medication prescription verifying completeness and clarity
Right med
Use a unit dose system to reduce errors if not available calculate the correct medication dose
Right dose
Administer Medication on time to maintain a consistent therapeutic Blood level generally acceptable to administer the medication 30 minutes before and after the schedule time
Right time
Select the correct preparation for the route the provider prescribes
Right route
Undesirable effects with more serious consequences then of side effects
Adverse effect
Unintended action
Side effects
Produce a response
Agonists
Blocks response
Antagonist
Severe allergic reaction that could result in to death
Anaphylactic
The range of blood level of the drug that will produce the desired response
Therapeutic range
Harmful effect that occurs when the drug levels are too high in the blood
Toxicity affect
Strongest warning FDA put on drugs while still allowing market in the US
Blackbox warning
Four types of drug action
Stimulation, replacement, inhibition and irritation
Adequate daily fluid makes essential for a drug elimination
50 mL per kilogram per day
Medication is absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed into the tissue
Drug absorption
Rate of absorption depends on
Age sex wt disease genetic factor immune mechanism and emotional factor
The route a minister affects absorption IV is the fastest way
Drug with no currently accepted used in the US high potential for abuse and lacking accepted safety measure
Heroin, LSD, PSP, ecstasy
Schedule one
Drugs with a medical use in the US high potential for abuse with severe psychological or physical dependence
Opiates, barb, weed
Scheduled to
Drugs that are medically useful but less potential for abuse that leads to moderate or low physical and high psychological dependence
Schedule three
Drugs that are medically useful but with less potential for abuse that schedule three drugs has their abuse causing limited physical or psychological dependence
Schedule four
Drug with medical use less potential for abuse in producing less physical dependence than scheduled four drug
Schedule five
A patient with Lower albumin levels are at risk at
Toxicity
How is your crush medication be administered orally
If there are more than two pills given what do you do
Crush it and mix it into water or some type of food such as applesauce
Mix them separately do not mix two different pills together
