Question 1

deals with a drug’s actions as it moves through the body.

Answer 1

Pharmacokinetics

Question 2

pharmacokinetics discusses how a drug is:

Answer 2

-Absorbed (taken into the body)
-Distributed (moved into various tissues)
-Metabolized (changed into a form that can be excreted)
-Excreted (removed from the body).

Question 3

This branch of pharmacology is also concerned with a drug’s onset of action, peak concentration level, and duration of action.

Answer 3

Pharmacokinetics

Question 4

covers a drug’s progress from the time it’s administered, through its passage to the tissues, until it reaches systemic circulation.

Answer 4

ABSORPTION

Question 5

• On a cellular level, drugs are absorbed by several means

Answer 5

through active or passive transport.

Question 6

is the process by which the drug is delivered from the systemic circulation to body tissues and fluids.

Answer 6

DISTRIBUTION

Question 7

Distribution of an absorbed drug within the body depends on several factors

Answer 7

• blood flow
• solubility
• protein binding

Question 8

other term for drug metabolism

Answer 8

biotransformation

Question 9

is the process by which the body changes a drug from its dosage form to a more water-soluble form that can then be excreted.

Answer 9

METABOLISM

Question 10

are capable of exerting their own pharmacologic action. may undergo further metabolism or may be excreted from the body unchanged

Answer 10

active metabolites

Question 11

products of metabolism), which are then excreted.

Answer 11

inactive metabolites

Question 12

excretion refers to the elimination of drugs from the body

Answer 12

EXCRETION

Question 13

where are drugs mostly excreted

Answer 13

Kidneys through urine
lungs, exocrine (sweat, salivary, or mammary,glands, skin and intestinal tract

Question 14

The study of the drug mechanisms that produce biochemical or physiologic changes in the body. The interaction at the cellular level between a drug and cellular components, such as the complex proteins that make up the cell membrane, enzymes, or target receptors, represents drug action. The response resulting from this drug action is the drug effect.

Answer 14

PHARMACODYNAMICS

Question 15

• The use of drugs to treat disease

Answer 15

PHARMACOTHERAPEUTICS

Question 16

can occur between drugs or between drugs and foods. They can interfere with the results of a laboratory test or produce physical or chemical incompatibilities. The more drugs a patient receives, the greater the chances that a drug interaction will occur.

Answer 16

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Potential drug interactions include

Answer 17

• Additive effects
• Potentiation
• Antagonistic effects
• Decreased or increased absorption
