test 2 extra Flashcards
pharmacokinetics
how meds travel through the body, and what it does
factors that affect distribution
circulation, the permeability of cell membrane, and plasma protein binding connects to bond and protein gets less worth
high therapeutic
highly unlikely to be toxic
low therapeutic
moderate the patient
peak levels
consider the route very high
trough
must get a blood level before a dose
onset
time at which there is a therapeutic response to meds
duration
full therapeutic response
peak level
length of therapeutic response
pharmacodynamics
interacts to meds
agonist
binds to or mimics receptors perfectly
antagonist
blocks the usual receptors
partial agonist
have partial activity can act as an agonist to others
topical
painless, limited, on skin
eyes
keep sterile,
ears
pull ears side postion for 2-3 mintues
nose don’t blow
rectal suppositories
inhalation
administer through a metered dose inhaler or dry powder inhaler
intradermal
meds into dermal
subcutaneous
meds in fatty tissue
intramuscular
meds in muscle
intravenous
meds into vein
epidural
meds into epidural space/ use pump, iv opioids
