NU 101 Final 3

• Deprivation of adequate oxygen supply
• Symptoms: anxiety, restlessness, confusion, drowsiness, increased BP with a small pulse, increased RR and Pulse, pallor, cyanosis

Lean meats and fish.

Study of the movement of drugs throughout the body.

Absoprtion, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion.

Most important phase of Pharmacokinetics; need to be able to get rid of the drug to avoid an overdose.

Movement of the drug from its site of administration into the blood.

How soon the drug effects begin.

The amount of the drug absorbed helps determine how intense the effects will be.

• Enteral.
• Advantages: Convienent, safe, economical.
• Disadvantages: variences in absorption, can be irritating to the GI system

Some drugs will go through liver and then they are deactivated; disadvantage of oral drugs, can get chemically broken down.

• Movement of the drug throughout the body.
• Depends on blood flow and ability of the drug to exit the vascular system.
• Increased vascular system = increased absorption of the drug

• Alteration of a drug structure.
• Almost all metabolism takes place in the liver.

• They carry drugs through blood. Bound molecules are inactive; molecules flowing freely through blood cause problems.
• Too many drugs with low protein/albumin are not getting where they need to go and flow freely in the blood, causing confusion and dizziness.

The minimum drug level needed for a therapeutic response to occur.

Keeps the med administration steady over time so that it never drops out of therapeutic range.

There is a small error range before the drug gets toxic.

Max and Min dose to be therapeutic.

Time it takes to decrease the amount of the drug by half.

Drug time to effect; therapeutically available; when it will work.

Largest drug effectiveness; most it will do to help.

Study of mechanism of drug actions in living tissues.

Action of drug other than what the drug was intended for

Adverse effect caused by excessive dosing

Abnormal effect never seen before

The drug may have a toxic effect because the drug is not excreting and accumulates.

Decreased rate or depth of air movement into the lungs.

Increased rate or depth of air movement into the lungs.

Vibration of the chest wall that can be palpated.

Fluid in the Pleural space

4-6 minutes before irreversible brain damage

Fat.

Vitamin B, because these nutrients are used to metabolize alcohol.

A complete plant protein that contains all of the essential amino acids.

Inflammation of the Tongue

Get the full effect of both drugs.

2 drug combined gives a greater effect than each alone.

One drug ruins the effect of the other drug.

One drug slows down or speeds up the metabolism or excretion of the other drug

Both drugs are competing on the albumin to be carried to the site in the blood, which results in toxicity in the blood.

Iliac Crest, Anterior superior iliac crest.

A sweetened alcohol solution

Used in nasal surgery to vasoconstrict and minimize bleeding.

Assessment, Diagnosis, Outcome Identification and Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation.

• Confusion over schedules and doses
• Forgetfulness
• Toxicity
• Excessive financial expense

• Diabetes causes hemoglobin to have less O2 available to be released to the tissues.
• Vessels are smaller in diabetics, so less O2 is perfused to the tissues.

Caused by a strain; wound layers open up.

Contents of bowels and intestines come out of open wound.

• A tunnel that forms between two organs or within.
• Abnormal
• Wound heals and patient still complains weeks after surgery

• Complication
• Excessive production of collagen
• Raised Scar
• Often grows back even if repaired

Object enters all the way through and exits.
