Based on this information, which property of an ideal drug is this drug lacking? - correct
answer...✔✔selectivity (more selective a drug=less side effects/adverse effects)
AGRADESOLUTIONS
,Characteristics unique to each patient can influence pharmacokinetic and
pharmacodynamic processes. What characteristics may determine the patient's
response to a drug? Select all that apply. - correct answer...✔✔-age
-weight
-gender
-genetics
Pharmacotherapeutics - correct answer...✔✔how drugs produce effects, both
therapeutic, and adverse reactions, reasons and rationales
A patient is given an opioid analgesic their RR is 8, HR is 82, and BP 120/78. What
nursing intervention would you do? - correct answer...✔✔-give naloxene to reverse
opiod effects because pt's respiratory was extremely low.
Medication error - correct answer...✔✔can harm the patient and can be potentially fatal
( you must first assess the patient, make sure his condition is stabilized, let a supervisor
know or HCP, and file an incident report)
If your protein(albumin) levels are low what happens to the drug in your body? - correct
answer...✔✔drug is free in body which can lead to toxicity of drug accumulation
If two drugs are competing for the same protein receptor or other receptor what
happens? - correct answer...✔✔-the one with the stronger affinity/dose is bound to the
receptor which leads for the other drug to move freely around the body.
What are the 6 drug rights for medication administration? - correct answer...✔✔1. right
patient

to make sure that our patient is compliant (patient care and patient education)
