MODULE 1 5 questions Includes: Pharmacodynamics (definitions, how drugs work) Pharmacokinetics (definition, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, first-pass effect) Adverse effects (anaphylaxis, toxicity, neurological) Common Cardiac Drug Suffixes PHARMACODYNAMICS PHARMACOKINETICS Definition: how the drug Definition: how the body acts on the drug affects the body Absorption: what happens to drug How drugs work: from time taken till reaching 1. Replace or act as a circulating fluids and tissues substitute for missing Distribution: movement of drug to body’s tissues chemicals Metabolism (biotransformation): 2. Increase or stimulate changes drugs into new, less certain cellular activities active chemicals that are easily 3. Depress or slow excreted; liver most important Excretion: removal of drugs from activities the body; kidneys most important 4. interfere with the in this functioning of foreign First-pass effect: drug reaches liver and is metabolized before it cells can enter the circulation Adverse Effects: ANAPHYLAXIS HEPATOTOXICITY NEPHROTOXICITY Anaphylaxis: most rapid *think liver* *think kidney* Assessment: and severe immediate Assessment: Elevated BUN and type 1 hypersensitivity fever, malaise, nausea, creatinine reaction jaundice, change in Decreased urinary output occurs within minutes stool, abdominal pain, Fatigue of re-exposure to elevated liver enzymes, etc antigen etc Interventions: most severe: can lead to Interventions: notify prescriber discontinue medication if shock and death
