NUR 3145 EXAM 1 | QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS | RATED A+

Therapeutic drug serum levels - narrow range of medication in bloodstream, for desired
results; clinical status of patient is appropriate for condition; peak and trough levels
(measured by serum blood levels)

nontherapeutic drug serum levels can be either: - undertherapeutic or toxic

toxic drug serum levels - greater than therapeutic dose range; increased adverse
effects

under-therapeutic drug serum levels - not enough drug for desired effect; may
contribute to drug-resistant organisms

o Drug Bioavailability - % of active drug absorbed that reaches target tissues

o Drug Bioavailability: determinants - route/form of drug; blood flow; liver/kidney
function; acid-base environment; presence of food, resident bacteria, motility in GI tract;
presence of pain/stress; other drugs

o Oral Absorption (PO): - absorbed from GI tract to body tissues; slower
-Diffuses across cell membrane; assisted by carrier enzymes or proteins; engulfed by
cellular membranes (pinocytosis)
-Easier, more convenient, less expensive; safer than injection; dosage easier to
reverse through intervention in case of accident

o Parenteral Absorption: - by injection; bypass GI tract

Intravenous - absorbed directly into bloodstream
• Rapid onset, since drug is administered directly to bloodstream
• Allows for more direct control of drug level in blood; Gives option of larger fluid volume,
therefore diluting irritating drugs
• Avoids first-pass metabolism

Intramuscular - : absorbed from blood supply of muscles
• Good for poorly soluble drugs, often given in "depot" preparation form and then
absorbed over a long period of time
• Onsets of action depend on route

,Subcutaneous: - absorbed through capillaries
• Same benefits as IM

o Other routes:
Topical - : transdermal
• Delivers medication directly to affected area; decreases likelihood of systemic drug
effects

o Other routes: Inhalational - • Provides rapid absorption; drug delivered directly to lung
tissue, where most of these drugs exert their action

o Other routes: Sublingual, buccal - • Absorbed more rapidly from oral mucosa, leading
to a more rapid onset; avoids breakdown of drug by stomach acids; avoids first-pass
metabolism

o Other routes: Rectal (Suppository) - • Relatively rapid absorption, good alternative
when oral route is not available; good for local or systemic drug delivery; usually leads
to mixed first-pass and non-first-pass metabolism

What does the protein-binding ability level of a drug mean? How do albumin levels
affect drug levels in the bloodstream? - o Lower albumin (protein) levels increase drug
levels in the bloodstream, because there are less proteins available to create bound,
drug-protein complexes (inactive drugs, too large to pass through capillary walls of
tissues)

4. Why is cytochrome P-450 so important? - o Microsomal enzymes; aid in metabolism
of medications; target lipid soluble (non-polar, lipophilic, fat-loving) drugs, which are
typically difficult to eliminate

What happens when grapefruit juice is taken with a drug that interacts with cytochrome
P-450? -

o Side effect: - : expected averse drug reaction
Undesirable = unexpected (i.e. allergic reaction: hypersensitivity response involving
immune system)

o Adverse reaction: - : any undesirable drug occurrence

Adverse reaction: Idiosyncratic reaction: - occurs unexpectedly in individual patient;
genetically inherited traits

Idiosyncratic reaction:
• Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (G6PD): - ): when exposed to drugs
such as sulfonamides, anti-malarials, and aspirin, patients may suffer life-threatening

, hemolysis of RBCs; (13-20%) African-American, Kurdish Jewish (50%), Sardinians
(14%)

adverse reaction: Drug-induced teratogenesis - : cause fetal structural defects; BLACK
BOX WARNING

adverse reaction: Mutagenic effects: - permanently changes genetic composition of
living cells

Adverse reactions: carcinogenic reactions - cancer causing
