NURS 617 EXAM 1 (2024-2025) ACTUALEXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADE A+
Pharmacodynamics - >>>Answer The process by which a medication works on the body.
Pharmacokinetics - >>>Answer The process by which drugs are absorbed, distributed within
the body, metabolized, and excreted.
Pharmacogenomics - >>>Answer The study of the influence of genetic factors on drug
response that result in the absence, overabundance, or insufficiency of drug-metabolizing
enzymes
Medication side effect - >>>Answer a nearly unavoidable secondary effect of a drug
produced at therapeutic doses which is generally predictable and with an intensity that is
dose-dependent
Adverse Effect - >>>Answer A drug-induced, secondary effect of a drug that produces a
change in a patients condition that is noxious, harmful or unpleasant, which requires
treatment or reduction or discontinuation of the drug and which usually occurs at therapeutic
doses.
Type A adverse drug reactions - >>>Answer exaggerated, but otherwise expected
pharmacological effect of a drug -> predictable and dose dependent -> ex. toxicity of
overdose, side effects, secondary effects, drug interactions
Type B adverse drug reactions - >>>Answer idiosyncratic effects (not expected) -> dose
independent and unpredictable -> intolerance, hypersensitivity, pseudo allergic, idiosyncratic
Drug tolerance - >>>Answer the tendency for larger doses of a drug to be required over time
to achieve the same effect
Physical drug dependence - >>>Answer condition where a person's body becomes unable to
function normally without a particular drug
Psychological dependence - >>>Answer a condition in which a person believes that a drug is
needed in order to feel good or to function normally
Allergic reaction - >>>Answer An immunologic hypersensitivity reaction resulting from the
unusual sensitivity of a patient to a particular medication; a type of adverse drug event.
Idiosyncratic or paradoxical reaction - >>>Answer When a drug may cause a totally
unexpected and often opposite effect in a few patients
, Carcinogenic reaction - >>>Answer medications and environmental chemicals that are
thought to cause cancer
Teratogenic reaction - >>>Answer Refers to the drug induced damage that develops in the
fetus
Beneficial potentiative drug-drug interaction - >>>Answer Aspirin and Codeine are both
analgesic drugs and when administered concurrently the combo provides better pain relief
than either one alone. What type of drug interaction is this?
Beneficial Potentiative Drug-Drug Interaction - >>>Answer Use of Beta Blockers and
Diuretics together for hypertension will provide better control blood pressure. What type of
drug interaction is this?
Harmful potentiative Drug-Drug interaction - >>>Answer Use of diazepam together with
Morphine will have additive CNS depression and could lead to respiratory distress. What
type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful potentiative Drug-Drug interaction - >>>Answer Concurrent use of aspirin with
Coumadin will significantly increase each others inhibitory effects on blood coagulation,
resulting in an increase risk for bleeding. What type of drug interaction is this?
Beneficial inhibitory drug interaction - >>>Answer Use of Naloxone after an overdose of
Meperidine is an example of what type of drug interaction?
Beneficial inhibitory drug interaction - >>>Answer Giving Protamine when there is excessive
bleeding from overdose of Heparin is an example of what type of drug interaction?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - >>>Answer Giving Naloxone to a patient who is
physically dependent to Morphine will reverse Morphines effects provoking an acute
withdrawal syndrome. What type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - >>>Answer Administering loperamide and Milk of
Magnesia together will cancel each others actions producing no benefit for the patient either
way. What type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - >>>Answer Injecting NPH insulin into a bottle of
regular insulin causing a precipitate and inactivation of the regular insulin is an example of
what type of drug interaction?
Pharmacokinetic Drug interctions - >>>Answer type of drug-drug interaction that occurs
when the pharmacokinetics of one drug alter the clinical effects of another drug by altering its
pharmacokinetics
Thiazide Diuretics - >>>Answer act in the distal tubule to block the reabsorption of the
filtered load of NaCl from the nephron back to the blood. They have a natriuretic effect and
promote renal excretion of sodium and water. The amount of water in the blood is then
decreased which decreases stroke volume and cardiac output therefore decreasing blood
pressure.
Thiazide diuretics - >>>Answer Very effective in AA and salt sensitive types of hypertension
