Chapter 1, 2, 3
![Page 2: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Understanding
• Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs
• Pharmacotherapeutics– use of drugs and the clinical indications
for drugs to prevent and treat diseases • Pharmacodynamics
– study of what the drug does to the body • Pharmacognosy
– natural drug sources

Drug Names
• Chemical• Trade
– Patented– Belongs to a company
• Generic– Commonly known– Less expensive

Phases of Activity
• Pharmaceutical– Administered– Dissolves or disintegrates
• Pharmacokinetic– Absorbed– Sent to tissues– Metabolized (used)– Excreted (disposed of)
• Pharmacodynamic– Ways drug affects the body
![Page 5: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
First-Pass Effect
• metabolism of a drug by the liver before its systemic availability
• AKA Bioavailability
• Amount of the drug that makes it into circulation
![Page 6: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Drug Transport
• How does the drug get from point A to point B?
• Parenteral Liver Circulation• OR• Gastric Liver Circulation
![Page 7: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Action Curve
• Time from delivery to start of therapeutic effect = Onset of Action
• From delivery to maximum therapeutic effect = Peak Effect
• Total amount of time therapeutic effect is notable = Duration of Action

Mechanism of Action
• Receptor– Designated site accepts drug
• Enzyme– Chemical reaction “glues” drug to site
• Nonspecific– Drug stimulates changes in cell to allow
it in

Chemical Bonds
• Agonists
• Antagonists
• Partial-agonist or Agonist-Antagonist

Drug Excretion
Organs: liver, kidneys, intestinesKidneys have primary responsibilityBreakdown by liver makes kidney’s job
easierSome drugs are eliminated through
bowels
![Page 11: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Considerations
• Therapeutic Index – difference between good & dangerous effects
• Amount of drug circulating = concentration
• Patient condition – liver & kidney health, age, GI function
• Tolerance or Dependence• Interactions
![Page 12: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Drug Misadventures
• Adverse Drug Event (ADE)– Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR)
• Caused by factors inside patient’s body• Allergy, unknown, kidney or liver disease• Not able to be controlled
– Medication Error• Most common type of event• Related to administration, dispensing,
prescribing
![Page 13: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Life Span
• Pediatrics– Very young have immature livers - can’t
process drugs as well– Adult drugs may be passed through
breastmilk – check safety if mother is breastfeeding
– Dosage based on mg/kg for safety
![Page 14: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Life Span, con’t.
• Adult– Careful of interactions with
• Other drugs• Herbal substances
– Risk for noncompliance d/t ‘undesirable’ effects
![Page 15: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Life Span, con’t.
• Elderly– Be aware of possible diminished:
• liver or kidney function – monitor lab tests• Cardiac function – be aware of test results• Digestive changes
– Assess ability to read labels & open containers
– Assess for potential safety issues – meds may cause drowsiness or diminished response
![Page 16: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Nursing Process
• Assess– Patient needs– Patient & family understanding– Patient (and family) physical abilities
• Plan (Goal)– Include patient & family– Tailor to patient/family needs– Include social services, prn
![Page 17: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Nursing Process, con’t.
• Implement– Regular re-assessments– Monitor for changes– Observe for therapeutic affects
• Evaluate– Is plan working?– Does it need modifying?– What can change?

5 Rights
• Basic to medication administration– Right Drug– Right Dose– Right Time– Right Route – Right Patient
![Page 19: Pharmacologic Principles Chapter 1, 2, 3. Understanding Nurses must understand both + and – effects of drugs Pharmacotherapeutics –u–use of drugs and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dce5503460f94ac1830/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Errors
• IF a med error occurs– Admit the error – don’t try to cover it up– Notify physician– Take emergency/first aid measures, prn– Complete proper reporting form
• NEVER record terms “by mistake”, “on error”, “unintentionally”
• DO NOT record error in patient chart
