Learning Objectives, Chapter 2, Basic Concepts and Processes ============================================================ ***After studying this chapter, you should be able to:*** **1.** Describe the main pathways and mechanisms by which drugs cross biologic membranes and move through the body. **2.** Explain each process of pharmacokinetics. **3.** Recognize individual differences in patient drug responses related to genomic variations. **4.** Discuss the clinical usefulness of measuring serum drug levels. **5.** Describe major characteristics of the receptor theory of drug action. **6.** Differentiate between agonist drugs and antagonist drugs. **7.** Discuss mechanisms and potential effects of drug--drug interactions. **8.** Explain drug-related and patient-related variables that affect drug actions. **9.** Identify signs and symptoms that may occur with adverse drug effects on major body systems. **10.** Discuss initial management considerations related to drug overdose and toxicity. **11.** Discuss selected drug antidotes.
