    Study Notes

    Pharmacology and Nursing Process

    • The pharmacokinetic phase involves absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of a drug.
    • The intravenous route of administration results in the fastest rate and extent of drug absorption.
    • The liver is primarily responsible for drug metabolism.
    • The term for the time it takes for a drug to reach its maximum therapeutic response is latency.
    • Factors that can affect drug metabolism include genetics, age, diet, and liver function.
    • The primary route of drug elimination responsible for excreting drugs from the body is the kidneys.
    • The term for the lowest blood level of a drug is trough.

    Nursing Process

    • The assessment phase involves data collection, review, and analysis.
    • The purpose of medication reconciliation is to ensure accurate and complete medication lists.
    • The implementation phase involves the initiation and completion of specific nursing actions related to medication administration.
    • The purpose of nursing diagnosis is to identify actual or potential health problems.
    • The planning phase involves identifying goals and outcomes criteria.
    • The purpose of evaluation is to determine the effectiveness of nursing actions.

    Drug Interactions

    • Agonist drugs bind to receptors to initiate their effects.
    • Antagonist drugs block or inhibit a response by binding to receptors.
    • Competitive antagonist drugs compete with an agonist for binding to a receptor.
    • Irreversible antagonist drugs combine with different parts of the receptor and inactivate it.
    • Enzyme inducers are substances that aid in speeding up the metabolism in our bodies.
    • Drugs can interact with enzymes to alter a physiological response by increasing or decreasing enzyme activity.
    • Drugs that do not interact with enzymes or receptors target ion channels, carriers, or pumps in the body.

    Medication Administration

    • The right medication, dose, route, time, patient, and documentation are the Ten Rights of Medication Administration.
    • A medication error is any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use.
    • Time critical facility-defined medications should be administered as soon as possible.
    • Daily, weekly, and monthly medications should be administered at the same time every day, week, or month.
    • Medications prescribed more frequently than daily but no greater than every 4 hours should be administered around the clock.
    • The purpose of documentation in medication administration is to provide a record of medication administration.
    • When examining medication errors, consider the medication, dose, route, time, patient, and documentation.
