ATI Pharmacology: BASICS Questions with correct answers
XR extended release; EC Enteric Coated; Sublingual Correct Answer - DO NOT CRUSH THESE MEDICATIONS
ANTIBIOTICS Correct Answer - 1. MAKES SURE THEY TAKE THE FULL COURSE 2. BEFORE THEY GET PRESCRIBED MEDS, GET A CULTURE
PHARMACOKINETICS: Correct Answer - The process by which drugs are absorbed, distributed within the body, metabolized, and excreted.
1. Absorption
2. Distribution
3. Metabolism
4. Excretion
Absorption Correct Answer - How quickly or how well the body absorbs a medication depends on the route of medication.
1. Oral meds are slower because it has to go through the GI tract.
2. Oral meds absorption are dependent on factors, such as, if there is food in the stomach, what is the pH of the patient's gastric contents. Those things will also effect absorption.
3. If you give a patient a liquid form of medication, that will be absorbed more quickly vs if you gave them an extended-release capsule
Sublingual Correct Answer - 1. Absorbed very quickly
2. You would place the med under the tongue (sub- under; lingual- tongue). 3. The mucosa under the tongue is highly vascularize, so the medication is very quickly absorbed into the body.
4. IMPORTANT: The patient should not eat or drink anything, until that medication has dissolve completely.
Inhalation Correct Answer - 1. Absorption is very quick.
2. Inhale the medication and it travels down to the alveoli and is quickly absorbed into the blood stream.
Intradermal or Topical Correct Answer - 1. Absorption is much slower, steady, throughout the day.
2. Eg, lidocaine patch is placed on the back for back pain, and it will stay on there all day. We want a slow steady release of medication to help with the back pain.
Subcutaneous Or Intramuscular Injections Correct Answer - 1. Depends of the solubility of the medication and the blood profusion at the site of injection.
Intravenous Correct Answer - 1. Absorption happens immediately, it goes directly into the bloodstream and is directly absorbed.
DISTRIBUTION Correct Answer - 1. Medication travels to the site of action.
2. The medication needs binding proteins in order to be distributed to travel to these sites of action.
3. Albumin is a common binding protein for distribution.
4. If a patient's levels of albumin are low, this would negatively impact their ability
to have that med be distributed effectively
METABOLISM Correct Answer - 1. Medication is broken down to a lesser active or inactivated form in the body by enzymes.
