Exam 1 Flashcards
Also referred to as adverse effect or untoward effects, which are clinical changes, I caused by medication, that are not desired and that cause some degree of harm or discomfort to the patient
Side effect
A condition that develops following repeat it used by a patient of a medication that results in decreased efficiency of potency
Tolerance
Enhancement of the effect of one drug by taking it with another drug
Potentiation
Salt or acid substances that become ionic conductors when dissolved in a solvent i.e. water chemicals dissolved in blood
Electrolytes
The movement of a solvent, such as water, from an area of low solute concentration to one of high concentration through a selectively permeable membrane to equalize concentrations of a solute i’m both sides of the membrane
Osmosis
A solution that has the same concentration of sodium is does the cell. In this case, water does not shift, and a change in cell shape occurs.
Isotonic solutions
The time needed for the concentration of the medication at the target tissue to reach the minimum effective level
Onset of action
Molecules that bind to a cells receptor and block the action of agonist
Antagonist
How does the body and eliminate remnants of the medication from the body
Kidneys
Where does most audio transformation of medication occur in the body
Liver
What type of fluid is 0.9% sodium chloride
Isotonic solution
A solution that has a lower concentration of sodium that does the so; the increase osmotic pressure can draw water out of the cell and cause it to collapse
Hypotonic solutions
Ethics related to the practice and delivery of healthcare
Bioethics
The study of how normal physiologic processes are affected by disease
Pathophysiology
What do groups of cells form
Tissue
Describe the Harrison Narcotic act 1956
Harrison narcotic act became law in 1914, restricted the use of various opiates and cocaine
Schedule of drugs and benefits or lack of benefits… Schedule 12345
Schedule one. High abuse potential; no recognize medical purpose
Scheduled two, high abuse potential; legitimate medical purpose

What division of the nervous system is affected by meds that affect the heart and blood vessels
Autonomic nervous system
A measure of depth of breathing; the volume of air that is inhale or exhale during single respiratory cycle
Tidal volume
Severe dyspnea experience when recumbent and relieved by sitting or standing up
Orthopnea
List the advantages of endo tracheal intubation
Secure airway, protection against aspiration, Alternative route to IV or IO for certain medications
Disadvantages of Indotracheal intubation
Special equipment, physiologic functions of the upper airway
The anatomical space, or pocket, look in between the base of the tongue and epiglottis. It is important landmark for endotrachea intubation
Vallecula
Pyramid like cartilaginous structure that form the posterior attachment of the vocal chords
Arytenoids cartilage
