Which of the following terms is used to describe the biological effects of drugs over time?
Pharmacodynamics relates to the biological effects (therapeutic or adverse) of drug administration over
time. Considerations include drug transport, absorption, means of elimination, and half-life.
Pharmacokinetics relates to the effect the body has on the drug, considering the route of administration,
absorption, dosage, frequency of administration, distribution, and serum levels achieved over time. The
half-time is the time needed to reduce plasma concentrations to 50% during elimination. Usually the
equivalent of five half-times is needed to completely eliminate a drug or achieve steady-state plasma
concentrations if giving doses intermittently. The effect-site equilibrium is the time between
administration of a drug and the clinical effect.
An Alzheimer patient is actively resistive to basic hygiene. However, in order to meet basic standards for
hygiene, how frequently should the patient be bathed?
Biweekly
Weekly
Two to three times weekly
Daily - correct answersTwo to three times weekly
While adults don't usually need daily baths, they should bathe two to three times weekly. Grab bars,
shower or tub seats, tub mats, handheld showers, and proper heating (to avoid chilling the patient) can
facilitate more frequent bathing. Mild soap and bath oil may reduce the drying of skin. Patients who are
fearful of tubs and showers, common with dementia, may receive a sponge bath or Comfort Bath with
premoistened, warmed washcloths. Thick-handled toothbrushes or electric toothbrushes may facilitate
mouth care.
