Pharmacology for APNs Study Guide
Understand the following concepts:
Pharmacokinetics / Pharmacodynamics- you do NOT have to do any calculations!
• Define and understand the concepts of:
o Pharmacokinetics
▪ Deals with the dose-concentration part
▪ Studies the absorption, distribution, metabolism and
elimination of drugs
o Pharmacodynamics
▪ Concerns the action of the chemical on the organism
▪ Governs the concentration-effect part of the interaction
▪ The pharmacodynamic concepts of maximum response and
sensitivity determine the magnitude of the effect at a
particular concentration
o Pharmacology
▪ Study of substances that interact with living systems
through chemical processes
o Pharmacotherapeutics
▪
o Toxicology
▪ Branch of pharmacology that deals with the undesirable
effects of chemicals on living systems, from individual cells
to humans to complex ecosystems
▪ Occupational, environmental, ecotoxicology
o Legend drug vs OTC drug

, o Absorption: entry of pharmacologic agent into plasma
o Distribution: agent leaves bloodstream and distributes to
interstitial and intracellular fluid

tissue
