Q

Why is direct penetration the most common mechanism of transport

A

most drugs are too bid, they lack a transport system, they must be lipid soluble

Q

What are some disadvantages to oral admnistration

A

variable ABSORPTION, inactivated by ACID, LIVER, pt. ADHERENCE, IRRITATION

27
Q

What are the advantages to oral administration

A

safe, east, inexpensive

28
Q

What is the isadvanges to parental administration

A

high COST, INCONVENIENT, IRREVERSIBILITY, OVERLOAD, INFACTION, EMNOLISM

29
Q

What are the advantages to parental administration

A

RAPID onset, CONTOLL amount, pt who won’t take PILLS

30
Q

What is distribution

A

Movement of drugs throughout the body

31
Q

What transports drugs to tissues and organs

A

blood

32
Q

What is the 1st pass effect

A

medications get inactivated by the liver

33
Q

You have a pt come in with heart attack (MI), you give nitroglycerin, what should you keep in mind?

A

Nitroglycerin is affected by the 1st pass effect, you can do a sublingual chewable tab to by pass this effect

34
Q

What is the difference between a typical cappilary bed and the BBB

A

Typical cappilary beds have large gaps for lipid soluble drugs while the BBB has tight junctions and transport systems (lipids can still move through

35
Q

Can drug form reversible bonds with carious proteins

A

Yes They form reversible bonds

36
Q

What is the most abundant protein

A

Albumin

37
Q

If your pt. has high drug absorption how would you describe them

A

hypoablnuminemia

38
Q

If no drug is working for your pt how would you describe them

A

Hyperalbuminemia

39
Q

Why does albumin stay in the blood stream

A

It’s a large molecule

40
Q

If a drug is bound to albumin will it be effective

A

No, because it will never make it out of the blood stream

41
Q

Why is it important to adjust drug doses after looking at albumin levels

A

Because it dictates how effective a drug will be

42
Q

What is metabolism

A

Bioransformation: chamical alteration of drug structure

43
Q

Where does most metabolism take place

A

in the liver

44
Q

What is biotransformation

A

body systems alter drug structure for use

45
Q

What should you know about the 12 related enzyme families

A

They are genetic variations, 20-30% drug effectivness, could increase or decrease side effects

46
Q

Is a 3 month olf’s liver fully developed

A

No, they don’t fully develope untill age 1

47
Q

Why does nutritional status impact metabolizing enzymes

A

Protein is related to albumin

48
Q

What happens between drugs when pts have a lot of drugs

A

They have to compete for pathways

49
Q

What is excretion

A

The removal of drugs from the body

50
Q

What accounts for the majority of drug excretion

A

the kidneys

51
Q

What determines renal drug excretion

A

how well the kidneys are functioning

52
Q

What is glomerular filtration

A

it moves drugs from blood to tubular urine; protein bound drugs remain in blood

53
Q

Why does what remain in urine

A

because ions and polar compounds (water)

54
Q

Which compounds undergo passive reabsorption in the kidneys

A

lipid soluble drugs

55
Q

What should you understand about the glomerular filtration

A

in different aresa different things move in and out in different ways

56
Q

What determines how well the kidneys are functioning

A

glomerular filtration

57
Q

What are the three non-renal routes of drug excretion

A

breast milk, bile, and lungs

58
Q

What is the minimum effective concentrations (MEC)

A

The plasma drug level below which therapeutic effects will not occur

59
Q

If a drug does not reach the MEC will it work

A

No, it must be above to work

60
Q

What is toxic concetration

A

plasma level where toxic effects begin

61
Q

What is therapeutic range

A

The range between MEC and toxic concentration

62
Q

What is a drugs half-life

A

The time required for the amount of drug in the body to decrease by 50%

63
Q

Why is a drugs half-life importnat

A

drugs could build up if not excreted (look at urine), and you need to know when to give the drug at the right time
