absorption from the administration site either directly or indirectly in the blood
plasma - ANSWER-Pharmacokinetic absorption
reversibly or irreversibly move from the bloodstream into the interstitial and

medications
usually reached within 4-5 half lives of the drug - ANSWER-steady state
medication

principal response for which the drug was taken include allergic reactions and
adverse drug effects
2. Either pharmacological or idiosyncratic
3. 85-90% of ADRs are pharmacological
4. Reporting is not mandated by FDA thus are not commonly reported

should be discontinued - ANSWER-Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
inhibitors
Essential HTN accounts for 90% of cases and is also called primary, secondary
may be caused by CKD - ANSWER-Essential vs Secondary HTN
, use: angina pectoris
action: dilate veins and arteries and thereby reducing ischemia and relieving pain

(Nitrate)
1. antiarrhythmic of choice when there is coexisting heart failure
2. can cause thyroid and pulmonary toxicity - ANSWER-Amiodarone
stimulation by beta agonists (isoproterenol) result in increased heart rate, blood
pressure and cardiac output
2. blockade results in decreased heart rate, bp, and cardiac output - ANSWER-
beta 1 adrenergic

pressure overload or volume overload causing a reduction of oxygenated blood
to body tissue - ANSWER-left heart failure
1.Associated with pulmonary disease and increased pulmonary vascular
resistance
2.The heart does not adequately circulate blood to the pulmonic system. Can be
