IV Pts with renal failure would MOST likely have problems with pharmacokinetic process?Excertion What is the ratio between a drug's therapeutic effects and toxic effects called?Therapeutic index.A pt asks the nurse why a lower dose of IV pain medication is being given than the previous oral dose.What is the nurse's best response to the pt?"Medications given intravenously are not affected by the first-pass effect." The nurse understands that drugs exert their actions on the body by what process?-Interacting with receptors.-Altering metabolic chemical processes.-Inhibiting the action of a specific enzyme.The nurse knows that which factors will affect the absorption of orally administered medications?-Time of day.-pH of the stomach.-Form of drug preparation.-Presence of food in the stomach.When considering the various routes of drug elimination, the nurse is aware that elimination occurs mainly by which route?Bowels and renal tubules.The RN is aware that the excessive drug dosages, impaired metabolism, or inadequate excretion may result in which drug effect?Cumulative effect.

Drug half-life is defined as the amount of time required for 50% of a drug to...be removed by the body.The nurse recognizes that drugs given by which route will be altered by the first-pass effect? (select all that apply.) -Oral.-Rectal.If a drug binds with an enzyme and thereby prevents the enzyme from binding to its normal target cell, it will produce which effect?Enzyme interaction.The RN is reviewing a list of a pt's medications and notes that one of the drugs is known to have a low therapeutic index. Which statement accurately explains this concept?

  • The difference between a therapeutic dose and toxic
  • dose is large.

  • The difference between a therapeutic dose and toxic
  • dose is small.

  • The dose needed to reach a therapeutic level is small.
  • The drug has only a slight chance of being effective.
  • The difference between a therapeutic dose and toxic dose is small.The RN prepares to obtain a pt's blood sample from a central line for a drug level that is to be drawn just before that medication's next dose. What is the timing of this blood draw known as?Trough level.When drug A functions as enzyme inhibitors of another drug B, the nurse would anticipate which result in drug B?Levels of drug B could rise to toxicity.When administering a new medication to a pt, the RN notes that the drug is "highly protein bound." The pt's albumin level is normal. When compared to a drug that is not highly protein bound, the RN would expect the protein bound drug to...Have a longer duration of action.The RN administers warfarin (Coumadin) to a pt who is concurrently taking a second drug that is HIGHLY protein bound. The RN knows a drug-drug interaction could occur, which would result in...The second drug increasing the action and toxicity of the first drug.
