Study Notes
Controlled Drugs
- Dangerous drugs like Morphine, Midazolam, and Diazepam are controlled by the relevant authorities in the country, not the patient or doctor.
- In the Philippines, sources of drug information include the Philippine Drug Formulary, MIMS, PPD, and the Internet.
Ensuring Safe Drug Administration
- To ensure safety, the nurse must assess, diagnose, plan, intervene, and evaluate the patient's condition.
- The nurse must oversee both expected and unexpected reactions to the drug given to the patient.
Pharmacology
- Pharmacodynamics is the study of what the drug does to the body, describing molecular interactions that lead to a therapeutic response.
- Pharmacokinetics is the study of what the body does to the drug, quantifying the rate of drug movement in the body.
- The effectiveness of a drug is evaluated through both pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.
Drug Interactions and Toxicology
- A drug is a substance or chemical capable of altering a biochemical or physiological process in the body.
- Toxicology is the study and characterization of adverse effects caused by excessively high concentrations of a drug in the body.
Receptors and Ligands
- The interaction of a drug with its target site is through a lock and key mechanism.
- Molecules targeted by drugs to achieve a response include receptors and ligands.
- Ligand-receptor relationships can produce various types of bonds, including hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and van der Waals forces.
