1) Pharmacodynamics examines how medicines change the body and helps predict drug effects.
2) Frequency distribution and dose-response curves illustrate variability in individual drug responses.
3) The median effective dose is the dose that produces a therapeutic response in 50% of patients.
4) Drugs can act as agonists, partial agonists, or antagonists at receptor sites to stimulate or inhibit responses.
1. Medication errors are common and can harm patients, increasing costs and negatively impacting facilities. They are caused by factors involving healthcare providers, patients, and systems.
2. It is important to accurately document and report all medication errors to determine root causes and implement strategies to prevent future errors. Reducing distractions, cross-checking orders, and reconciling medications can help reduce errors.
3. Educating patients on their medications also helps reduce errors by empowering them to participate in the medication administration process. Automated systems, electronic records, and updated policies further aim to minimize medication errors.
The document discusses the nursing process as it relates to pharmacology and medication administration. It describes the 5 steps of the nursing process - assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Considerable detail is provided about properly assessing patients, identifying nursing diagnoses related to medication, setting goals and expected outcomes, implementing interventions like medication administration and monitoring, and evaluating the effectiveness of the care plan. The overarching goals of the nursing process in pharmacology are safe and effective medication administration and optimal patient wellness.
This document discusses the key principles of pharmacokinetics - how drugs move through the body. It describes the four main components of pharmacokinetics: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Absorption involves a drug moving from its site of administration through membranes and into circulation. Distribution is the transport of drugs throughout tissues, influenced by factors like blood flow and binding to plasma proteins. Metabolism biochemically alters drugs in the liver to make them more easily excreted. Excretion primarily occurs through the kidneys which filter drugs out of the bloodstream. Understanding pharmacokinetics helps explain how the body handles medications and any obstacles they may face.
Drugs are organized in two ways: by therapeutic classification based on their clinical effects, and by pharmacologic classification based on their mechanism of action. Drugs have three names - a chemical name assigned by IUPAC, a generic name assigned by the USAN Council, and one or more trade or brand names assigned by the marketing company. Drugs considered to have abuse or addiction potential are scheduled by the DEA into five categories, with Schedule I having the highest abuse potential and Schedule V the lowest. Drugs are also classified based on their teratogenic risk to a fetus from A to X.
1) Pharmacology has its origins in ancient times when various cultures used plants and herbs to treat medical issues. It developed into a distinct discipline in the 19th century with the isolation of active compounds from natural substances and study of their effects.
2) John Jacob Abel established the first pharmacology department in the United States in 1890, advancing the field of modern pharmacology. Regulations and standards for drug development, labeling, and safety have strengthened over time through organizations like the USP and laws.
3) Nurses play a key role in pharmacology due to their direct involvement in patient care across all settings. Understanding how different factors influence individual drug responses is important for safe administration.
This chapter discusses principles of drug administration for nurses. It outlines the nursing process for drug administration including nurse responsibilities such as understanding classifications, actions, side effects, and ensuring safe preparation and administration. Common medication errors are also reviewed. The chapter then covers allergic reactions, the five rights of administration, routes of administration including enteral, topical and parenteral, and special considerations for various types of drug delivery such as transdermal patches, ophthalmic drops, and otic drops. Measurement systems, abbreviations, and documentation requirements are also discussed.
This document summarizes various rheumatic disorders that can cause musculoskeletal dysfunction. It describes osteoarthritis as a local degenerative joint disorder associated with aging that causes joint pain and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that can cause joint destruction in multiple symmetrically involved joints. Other systemic disorders discussed include systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout, which involves uric acid crystal deposition in joints. Pediatric joint disorders like juvenile idiopathic arthritis are also reviewed.
This document discusses various types of musculoskeletal trauma, diseases, and alterations. It covers bone fractures, dislocations, infections, tumors, and soft tissue injuries. Specific conditions covered include osteoporosis, rickets, Paget's disease, osteomyelitis, tuberculosis, osteosarcoma, ligament injuries, tendon injuries, and muscle strains. Treatment options are provided for many conditions, which may include surgery, antibiotics, chemotherapy, calcium supplements, and physical therapy.
1. The document discusses the pathophysiology of pain, which involves transduction, transmission, perception, and modulation of pain signals in the body.
2. Pain signals are transmitted from nociceptors via the peripheral nervous system to the spinal cord and brain. Various neurotransmitters are involved at different stages of transmission.
3. Pain perception is influenced by both physical and psychological factors and can be modulated in the brain using various pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments.
This document summarizes several chronic neurological disorders including seizure disorder, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and Bell's palsy. It describes the key characteristics, causes, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment approaches for each condition.
This document discusses mechanisms and manifestations of acute brain injury. It covers several topics:
1) Mechanisms of primary and secondary brain injury including ischemia, cellular energy failure, excitatory amino acids, reperfusion injury, abnormal autoregulation, increased intracranial pressure, and brain herniation.
2) Manifestations of brain injury including level of consciousness assessed by Glasgow Coma Scale, pupil reflexes, oculovestibular reflex, and corneal reflex.
3) Traumatic brain injury classifications including mild, moderate and severe injuries, as well as types of primary injuries like focal, polar and diffuse injuries, and intracranial hematomas.
This document discusses common gastrointestinal disorders and their manifestations. It describes different types of dysphagia, including problems with food delivery into the esophagus (Type I), transport down the esophagus (Type II), and entry into the stomach (Type III). Other manifestations covered include heartburn, abdominal pain, vomiting, changes in bowel habits like constipation and diarrhea, and intestinal gas. Causes and symptoms are provided for each manifestation.
1. The document discusses the structure, function, embryology and disorders of the gallbladder and exocrine pancreas.
2. It describes the anatomy of the pancreaticobiliary system including the gallbladder, cystic duct, common bile duct and pancreas.
3. Key disorders covered include cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, and acute pancreatitis. The causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of each are explained.
