Pharmacology Module 1 and 2 Review vel NUR 334

Module 1

Don’t forget military time for example: If I give this med at 1000 and the next dose may be given at 1500

Pharmacodynamics definition ch 5 pg 51

Pharmacokinetics ch 4 ATI pg 3-

How is pharmacology used in nursing? 6 book pg 61

Medication reconciliation

Drug orders and time schedules pg 23 (3)

o The Nursing Process

 What happens in the Nursing Process pg 62 and ATI pg 14-

 Assessing

 Diagnosing,

 Planning,

 Implementing,

 Evaluating Phases

o Medication administration ATI ch 1

 Enteral administration and types table 3 ATI pg 5

 Topical administration and types table 3 ATI pg 5

 parenteral administration and types table 3 pg 5

 Intramuscular administration and types

o Medication errors ATI pg 13

 Right person, route, evaluation, dosage, date, time, medication, documentation

Classification of drugs

o What is a classification

o How do we classify drugs?

o Routes of administration

 Benefits/limitations

 PO benefits; day to day medication.

 Con: First pass effect when taken PO

 Generic vs trade name pg 6 ATI pg 11

 Pharmacokinetics: definition, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion

o Absorption- the movement of a substance from across the body and into fluids

o Distribution- transport of drugs throughout the body

o Metabolism- breaking down of the drug into the body

o Excretion- process of drugs being removed from the body

 Pharmacodynamics: agonists, antagonists, partial agonists

o Agonist- acts like a receptor that binds to the site, enhances it. Example: pain med, morphine, opioid

o Antagonist- blocks the receptor and doesn’t get medication. Example: Narcan, beta blockers

 Therapeutic class: the treatment of the drug, its trying to treat hypertension

 Pharmacological class: the science behind what it does to the body

 Prototypes

 Chemical name

 Generic name ATI pg 11

 Trade name ATI pg 11

 Metabolism pg 42

 First Pass effect ATI pg 4, pg 43

 Excretion pg 44

 Absorption pg 39

 Distribution pg 41

 Half life: short and long

 Onset- the amount of time it takes to produce a therapeutic effect

 Peak- medication is at its highest concentration

 Duration- amount of time a drug maintains the therapeutic effect

 Lifespan considerations ATI pg 46

 Toxicity ATI pg 40

o Hepatotoxicity- damaging liver , ex: acetominphrane

o Nephrotoxicity- damaging kidneys, ex: NSAID

 Medication reconciliation pg 75

 Loading dose: brings drug effects faster by giving a higher amount of drug first

 Maintenance dose: maintains the medication at a maintenance level

 Side effect

 Adverse effect

 Black box warning

 Contraindication

 Interaction

 Potency and Efficacy pg 53

 Pregnancy Category A, B, C, D Tetratogenic ATI pg 42 pg 83 table 8.

 Medication Rights 10:

o Right client, Right medication, Right dose, Right time, Right route, Right documentation, Right client

education, Right to refuse, Right assessment, Right evaluation ATI pg 41

Module 2

 Drugs for Inflammation and Fever

 Anti-inflammatory drugs: aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, diclofenac, ketorolac,

meloxicam, Celecoxib

 Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) = NSAID

 Reye’s syndrome / aspirin ATI ch 35, pg 283

o Opioid receptor antagonist

 What should be available when giving

o Keep resuscitative equipment accessible

 Monitor for ... status

 Opioids with Mixed Agonist-Antagonist Activity: buprenorphine, pentazocine

 Antimigraine Drugs:

 Sumatriptan pg 256

 Mech of action pg 256: serotonin agonists, constricting intracranial vessels

 Administration alerts

 Education and health promotion

 Types of pain scales

 Wong Baker

 Numerical

 Non Pharmacological therapy

 What can family do to help?

 Pain Perception and assessment / administration

For all classes of medications, you must understand and apply the following: table on Adams book pg 247
