Galen Pharmacology 2500 Test 1| QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE ANSWERS
ear drops Correct Answer: INSTILL AT ROOM TEMP/ child- down and back/ adult- up and
back
eye drops Correct Answer: important to instill the eye drop medication into the conjunctival sac
(not the eyeball/cornea). inner to outer
enema Correct Answer: patient lays on left side
pharmacokinetic Correct Answer: what happens in the body once med is administered
-Absorption
-Distribution/ Binding
-Metabolism
-Renal Excretion
first-pass effect Correct Answer: extent to which drug metabolized by liver before reaching
systemic circulation
protein binding Correct Answer: protein (usually albumin) binds to medication to help
chemicals move through. When the medication is bound to the protein it is not available to
perform its action the body
free drug Correct Answer: The amount that is left not bound called the__________________and
it performs the pharmacologic response
pharmacodynamics phase Correct Answer: refers to the effects drugs will have on a patient and
the mechanism of their actions.
antacids drug absorption Correct Answer: Antacids cause a pharmokinetic interaction which is
what the body does to the drug in terms of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
Antacids increase the PH of gastric juices which causes a decrease in the absorption of weak acid
drugs such as tetracycline
gastric and intestinal motility influence drug absorption. Correct Answer: Drug absorption is the
movement of the drug into the bloodstream after administration (McCuistion & Vuljoin-
Dimmagio, 2018, p. 16). The lining of the small intestine is covered in villi that increase the the
surface area for absorption and is decreased because of disease or drugs (p.16). Absorption in the
small intestine is done by passive transport, active transport, or pinocytosis (p.16). In the GI tract
the lining is made up of a mucous membrane composes of lipids and proteins which allows lipid
soluble drugs to easily pass through (p. 16-17). If the drug is water soluble it will need a protein
or enzyme carrier to pass through (p.17).
