Answer:
AREA UNDER THE PLASMA CONCENTRATION-TIME CURVE (AUC).
Question 2: Method for the drugs to enter the body's circulation.
Answer:
ABSORPTION.
Question 3: Define elimination half-life.
Answer:
The amount of time it takes to eliminate one-half of the total amount of drug in the blood.Question 4: The purpose of this process is to convert the drug molecule to more water-soluble and inactive metabolites.
Answer:
METABOLISM.
Question 5: The type of drug administration that can be administered via injection into the vein
is called:
Answer:
Intravascular administration.
Question 6: Define first-pass metabolism.
Answer:
Occurs when a drug is rapidly metabolized in the liver after oral administration with minimum bioavailability.Question 7: The fraction of an administered dose that ultimately reaches the system or whole body circulation is defined by this term.
Answer:
Bioavailability.
Question 8: Movement of the drug from the blood to other body tissues.
Answer:
DISTRIBUTION.
Question 9: If 1,000 mg of a drug is administered in an oral tablet and 400 mg of the drug is absorbed into the the systemic circulation, then the absolute bioavailability (F) is:
Answer:
Forty percent.Question 10: These types of studies are bioavailability studies specifically comparing two or more formulations of the same dose of the same drug in the same dosage form.
Answer:
Bioequivalence.
Question 11: Define absorption.
Answer:
The fraction of an administered drug that reaches the systemic circulation.
Question 12: The bioavailability of a drug administered intravenously is:
Answer:
100 percent.
Question 13: Define metabolism.
Answer:
The process by which an organism converts food to energy needed for anabolism.
Question 14: Define AUC - Area under the plasma concentration-time curve.
Answer:
Plasma drug concentration can be determined by calculating the rate and extent of systemic absorption, as visualized by the plasma concentration-time curve.Question 15: List the correct order of events an oral dosage form must go through for the drug
to reach the bloodstream:
Answer:
Disintegration, dissolution, diffusion.
Question 16: Define T-max.
Answer:
In biopharmaceutics, it indicates how long it takes to reach maximum drug concentration in the body's circulation.Question 17: The bioavailability of an oral tablet could be decreased due to:
Answer:
Incomplete dissolution, incomplete diffusion, and first-pass metabolism.Question 18: The type of drug administration that can be via oral, rectal, intramuscular, buccal, subcutaneous, transdermal or percutaneous, pulmonary or inhalation, intranasal administration
is called:
Answer:
Extravascular administration.
Question 19: Define bioavailability.
Answer:
The term used to indicate the rate and relative amount of administered drug that reaches the circulatory system intact.Question 20: This state of drug product must disintegrate into smaller particles so the drug can be released from the formulation.
Answer:
Solid.Question 21: Bioavailability is defined as:
Answer:
The fraction of an administered dose that reaches the systemic circulation.Question 22: The movement of the drug from the bloodstream to other bodily tissues is called:
Answer:
Distribution.
Question 23: Name the two categories of drug administration.
Answer:
Intravascular and extravascular.Question 24: Examples of extravascular routes of administration include:
Answer:
Subcutaneous and Intravenous.
Question 25: Define bioequivalence.
Answer:
The comparison of the bioavailability of different drug products with the same active ingredient.
Question 26: Define elimination.
Answer:
The removal of waste material from the body.
