Study Notes

Advanced Pharmacology - Exam 1 Overview

Exam assesses foundational principles of pharmacotherapeutics, especially for APRNs.
Important legal issues in pharmacology, emphasizing the necessity for full prescriptive authority.

Key Pharmacokinetic Concepts

Pharmacokinetics involves drug movement throughout the body.
Four primary processes:
- Absorption: How drugs enter systemic circulation.
- Distribution: Movement of drugs to the action site, directly impacting efficacy.
- Metabolism: Transformation of drugs, often occurring in the liver.
- Excretion: Elimination of drugs from the body, primarily through urine or feces.

Understanding Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacodynamics is the study of drug effects on the body at biochemical and physiologic levels.
Focuses on molecular mechanisms that produce therapeutic and adverse effects of drugs.

Drug Interactions

Drug interaction happens when another substance alters a drug's efficacy, effects, or safety profile.
Education plays a crucial role in reducing medication errors by empowering patients with accurate information.

Promotion of Safe Outcomes

Implementing drug monitoring and adherence strategies is essential for patient safety.
Pharmacological education can enhance patient understanding and compliance, potentially leading to better health outcomes.
