21
Q

a nonspecific term that refers to a disease or disorder, especially of the blood

A

blood dyscrasias

22
Q

can occur with many drugs, and in many but not all instances the mechanism is direct suppression of the megakaryocytes rather than immune processes

decrease platelets = bleeding

A

thrombocytopenia

23
Q

a small molecule that, when combined with a larger carrier such as a protein, can stimulate the production of antibodies that bind to it specifically

A

hapten

24
Q

the drug function as hapten

A

hapten model

25
Q

the drug functions as an antigen

A

immune-complex

26
Q

the drug stimulates the production of antibody that attacks RBC causing its hemolysis

A

autoimmune or cytotoxic model

27
Q

combination of the drug with the red-cell membrane, with the conjugate acting as an antigen — non-specific binding of plasma protein to red cells, and thus causing hemolysis

A

hemolytic anemia

28
Q

believed to occur with cephalosporins

A

hemolytic anemia

29
Q

T-lymphocytes sensitized by an antigen release lymphokines after subsequent contact with the same antigen

A

type IV

Cell-Mediated or Delayed Type

30
Q

TYPE OF ADR

  • uncommon and dose- & time-related
  • associated with the cumulative dose of the drug
A

continuous

31
Q

TYPE OF ADR

examples are:
* tolerance
* addiction
* dependence

A

continuous

32
Q

compulsion to take the drug repeatedly & experiences unpleasant symptoms if discontinued

A

dependence

33
Q

condition where a person takes a drug compulsively, despite potential harm to themselves, or their desire to stop

A

addiction

34
Q

occurs when a drug has been used habitually & the body has become accustomed to its effects

A

physical dependence

35
Q

occurs when a drug has been used habitually & the mind has become emotionally reliant on its effects, either to elicit pleasure or relieve pain, and does not feel capable of functioning without it

A

psychological dependence

36
Q

TYPE OF ADR

caused by long term effects of drug and is related to dose and duration of the treatment

A

delayed

37
Q

TYPE OF ADR

  • uncommon
  • withdrawal symptoms
  • generally occur shortly after stopping the drug
A

end-of-use

38
Q

TYPE OF ADR

  • common, dose-related
  • unexpected failure of efficacy
A

failure of efficacy

39
Q

the demonstration of transformation occurring when the patient’s lymphocytes are exposed to a drug ex vivo suggests that the patient’s T-lymphocytes are sensitized to the drug. In this type of reaction, the hapten itself will often provoke lymphocyte transformation, as well as the conjugate

A

serological testing

40
Q

the best approach in patients on multiple drug therapy is to stop all potentially causal drugs and reintroduce them one by one until the drug at fault is discovered

A

control drug administration

41
Q

a measurable modification of the action of one drug by prior or concomitant administration of another substance

A

drug interactions

42
Q

explain the mechanism of actions & pharmacologic effects of drugs

A

pharmacodynamics

43
Q

a branch of pharmacology that focuses on the study of the biochemical and physiologic effects of drugs and the mechanisms by which they produce such effects

A

pharmacodynamics

44
Q

PHARMACODYNAMIC INTERACTION

1 + 1= 2

A

additive

45
Q

PHARMACODYNAMIC INTERACTION

  • drugs that** inhibits the effect of the other**
A

antagonism

46
Q

PHARMACODYNAMIC INTERACTION

  • 1 + 0 = 2
  • a drug with no inherent activity will enhance the effect of another drug
A

A

physiologic antagonism

ex. histamine + epinephrine; vit. K + warfarin

A

partial antagonism

ex. nalorphine in opiate receptor
