Questions and Answers

What happens to the drug after it is absorbed across the GIT wall?

  • It is immediately excreted from the body
  • It stays solely in the circulation
  • It is only metabolized by the liver
  • It spreads and distributes throughout body fluids and tissues (correct)

Why is it important to consider both PK and PD knowledge when administering medications?

  • To understand the quality use of meds
  • To determine the best route of administration
  • To determine the optimal dose rate
  • To select the right drug for the right patient (correct)

What is the main reason why individualized drug doses are required for different patients?

  • Because patients have different organ pathology
  • Because patients have different heights
  • Because patients have different weights
  • Because patients have different responses to drugs (correct)
