Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI)
handheld devices that deliver medication to the lower respiratory tract when inhaled into the lungs
26
Intraosseous Injection
injection given into the bone marrow
27
Biocultural Ecology
area of study that looks at variations in biological characteristics that are inconsistent for an ethnic group that might pose a concern for a nurse
28
Hereditary
genetic characteristics transferred from parent to offspring
29
Genetic
pertaining to genetics & reproduction
30
Nonadherence
not following medication directions; "noncompliance" (frequent in older adults)
31
Adherence
following prescribed medication regimens; "complicane"
32
Polypharmacy
administration of many drugs together to the same patient (frequent in older adults)
33
Holistic Nursing Approach
a patient-centered approach to healing that strives to meet cognitive, emotional, physical, social & spiritual needs of patients
34
Three Checks of Medication Administration
(1) Before taking it out of the package (2) As placing it in the medicine cup (3) Again before giving it to patient
35
Safety Risks for Medication Administration
New drugs, distractions, fatigue, sleep deprivation, confusing packaging, equipment failures, poor communication, transcription errors, handwriting issues
36
Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report of 1999 "To Err is Human: Building a Safer Healthcare System"
report that spurred changes in healthcare system changes to decrease errors
37
FDA 2002 Rule "Bar Code Label Requirements for Human Drug Products & Blood"
rule implemented by the FDA to increase the prominence of coding...at a minimum, the bar code contains the drug's national drug code that uniquely identifies the drug, its strength and its dosage form
38
The Joint Commission 2013 Patient Safety Goals
(1) Improve staff communication (2) Identify patients correctly (3) Use medicines safely
39

organization that puts out monthly newsletter about safety in medication practices...issues a list of error prone abbreviations, symbols & dose designations
40
Quality and Safety in Education in Nursing (QSEN)
Robert Woods Johnson Foundation...addressing and all about safety in nursing
41
Basic Ethical Principles in Medication Administration
Respect for person (autonomy), Beneficence, Justice, Veracity, Informed Consent
42
Phase I of Human Clinical Experimentation
phase of HCE determining human dosage range based on healthy subjects and identifying pharmacokinetics
43
Phase II of Human Clinical Experimentation
phase of HCE demonstrating safety and efficacy of drug in a limited number of subjects with disease to be treated
44
Phase III & IV of Human Clinical Experimentation
phase of HCE demonstrating safety and efficacy of drug for well client population (including long-term data if chronic regimen)
45
Role of the Nurse in Human Clinical Experimentation
(1) Recruit & assess study subjects (2) Understand protocols including inclusion & exclusion criteria (3) Know validity & reliability of measurement instruments (4) Communicate & work with other healthcare providers & sponsors
46
FDA Pregnancy Categories
a classification system related to the effects of drugs on a fetus used to optimize informed decision making for pregnant patients
47
Pregnancy Category A
No risk to the fetus. Studies have not shown evidence of fetal harm.
48
Pregnancy Category B
No risk to fetus in animal studies but well-controlled studies in pregnant women is not available. It is assumed there is little to no risk in pregnant women.
49
Pregnancy Category C
Animal studies indicate a risk to the fetus but controlled studies in pregnant women is not available. Risk vs. benefit must be determined.
50
Pregnancy Category D
A risk to the human fetus has been proved. Risk vs. benefit of the drug must be determined. It could be used in life-threatening conditions.
51
Pregnancy Category X
A risk to the human fetus has been proved. Risk outweighs the benefit & the drug should be avoided during pregnancy.
52
Physiologic Changes in GI System of Geriatric Patient
increased pH gastric secretions, decreased peristalsis with delayed gastric emptying time, decreased motility, decreased first-pass effect---\>SLOWER ABSORPTION OF ORAL DRUGS
53
Physiologic Changes in Cardiac & Circulatory Systems of Geriatric Patient
decreased cardiac output, decreased blood flow ---\>DELAYS TRANSPORTATION OF DRUGS TO TISSUE
54
Physiological Changes in Hepatic System of Geriatric Patient
decreased enzyme function, decreased blood flow---\>DRUGS METABOLIZED MORE SLOWLY & LESS COMPLETELY
55
Physiological Changes in Renal System of Geriatric Patient
decreased blood flow, decreased nephron function, decreased glomerular filtration rate---\>DRUGS EXCRETED LESS COMPLETELY
56
Strategies to Increase Geriatric Patient Compliance with Drug Therapy
(1) Education of patients & families (2) Help cut costs of medications (3) Be available for questions (4) Review medications with patient (5) Advise patient to use one pharmacy
