39
Q

may respond differently to drugs than younger patients because of decreases absorption, metabolism, and excretion. The require a reduction in dose.

A

Older patient

40
Q

in their first year of life, because of reduced capacity for the metabolism and excretion of drugs, will generally need a reduction in dose.

A

Children especially

41
Q

may decrease the function of vital organs. Liver or kidney disease can influence the metabolism and excretion of drug.

A

42
Q

Drug effect that can be modified by previous or concomitant administration of another drug or food is referred to as a drug interaction.

A

Drug’s interaction

43
Q

These adverse effects include 4

A

side effects,
toxic effects,
allergic reaction
idiosyncratic reaction.

44
Q

abnormal response to a drug caused by individual genetic differences.

A

Idiosyncratic reaction

45
Q

result from the drug acting on tissues other than those intended action.

A

Side effects

46
Q

are adverse drug effects related to the dose of drug administered. Most drugs are capable of producing this effect if the therapeutic dose is greatly exceeded.

A

toxic effects

47
Q

occurs when the body’s immune system is hypersensitive to presence of the drug. It can occur only after repeated exposure to the specific drug or a chemically related compound.

A

allergic reaction
