QUIZLET Unit 3 - Pharmacokinetics Flashcards
pom75
Volume of distribution measures the apparent space in the body available to contain the drug.
T/F
true
Hepatic elimination on bioavailability.
first pass effect
most convenient route
oral
route of administration that is Usually very slow absorption
transdermal
Reflect the time required for the drug to distribute from plasma to the site of action.
delayed
Also known as nonlinear elimination.
capacity-limited
Drug effects that are directly related to plasma concentration.
immediate
Type of effect seen for almost all drugs.
Immediate Effects
Delayed Effects
Cumulative Effects
All of the given
None of the given
delayed
route of administration that may be painful
intramuscular, subcutaneous
changes in drug effects are often delayed in relation to changes in ______ ______
plasma concentration
t/f “Pharmacokinetics governs the concentration-effect part of the interaction, whereas pharmacodynamics deals with the dose-concentration part.”
false
t/f
The standard dose of a drug will be suitable for all patients.
false
Pharmacokinetic variable/s.
clearance
volume of distribution
both
neither
both
“At steady state, the dosing rate (rate in) must equal the rate of elimination (rate out)”
maintenance dose
Calculated from the dose divided by the AUC.
clearance
t/f “Drugs absorbed from suppositories in the lower rectum enter vessels that drain into the inferior vena cava, thus bypassing the liver.”
true
t/f
“At concentrations that are high relative to the Km, the elimination rate is almost independent of concentration, a state of pseudo-zero order elimination.”
true
“Blood flow to the organ is the main determinant of drug delivery, but plasma protein binding and blood cell partitioning may also be important for extensively bound drugs that are highly extracted.”
true
true or false
The ratio of the rate of elimination of the drug compared to the plasma drug concentration defines volume of distribution.
false
clearance toh!!!
80 to 100% Bioavailability.
Oral
IV
IM
SC
Transdermal
transdermal
Just enough drug is given in each dose to replace the drug eliminated since the preceding dose.
Maintenance dose
Loading dose
Both
neither
maintenance dose
Also known as saturable elimination.
capacity-limited elimination
t/f
Volume distribution is the ratio of the amount of the drug in the body compared to the plasma concentration
true
type of dose wherein The volume of distribution is the most important proportionality factor.
Maintenance dose
Loading dose
loading dose
Greater when administered as a constant infusion than with intermittent dosing.
none of the given
The measure of the apparent space in the body available to contain the drug.
volume of distribution
Due to the slow turnover of a physiologic substance that is involved in the expression of the drug effect
delayed effects
t/f Systemic clearance is affected by bioavailability.
false
t/f “The standard dose of a drug is based on trials in healthy volunteers and patients with the average ability to absorb, distribute, and eliminate the drug.”
TRUE
Volume of distribution is the ratio of the amount of the drug in the body compared to the plasma concentration
True
False
true
Also known as concentration-dependent elimination
capacity limited elimination
Determined by the site of administration and the drug formulation.
rate of absorption
75 to ?100% Bioavailability.
sc, im
The factor that predicts the rate of elimination in relation to the drug concentration
Clearance
Volume of distribution
both
neither
clearance
Less first-pass effect than oral.
rectal
