evaluation
patients five rights of drug therapy
right drug
right dose
right time
right route
right patient
the length of time a drug concentration is sufficient to elicit a therapeutic responcce
duration
the time it takes for a drug to reach its maximum therapeutic responce in the body
peak effect
the time it takes for drug to elicit a therapeutic responce
onset of action
drug interaction in which the effect of a combination of two or more drugs with similar actions is greater that the sum of the individual effects of the same drugs given alone
synergistic
drug interaction in which the effect of a combination of two or more drugs with similar actions is equivalent to sum of the individual effects of the same drugs given alone
