Pharmacodynamics
Dose response and maximal efficacy
Onset, peak, and duration of action
The Time-Response Curve Evaluates Three
Parameters of Drug Action: They are (1) Onset,
(2) Peak, and (3) Duration. MEC, Minimum
effective concentration; MTC, minimum toxic
concentration.

7
Pharmacodynamics (cont’d)
Receptor theory
Agonists and antagonists
Two Drug Agonists Attach to the Receptor Site.
The drug agonist that has an exact fit is a strong
agonist and is more biologically active than the
weak agonist.

8
Pharmacodynamics (cont’d)
Nonspecific drug effect
Cholinergic Receptors Are Located in the Bladder,
Heart, Blood Vessels, Stomach, Bronchi, and Eyes.

Pharmacodynamics (cont’d)
Nonselective drug effect
Epinephrine Affects Three Different Receptors:
Alpha1, Beta1, and Beta2.

Pharmacodynamics (cont’d)
Categories of drug action
Stimulation or depression
Replacement
Inhibition or killing of organisms
Irritation

11
Therapeutic Index
The Therapeutic Index. It measures the
margin of safety of a drug. It is a ratio that
measures the effective therapeutic dose and
the lethal dose.
A Low Therapeutic Index Drug
Has a Narrow Margin of Safety.
The drug effect should be closely
monitored. A high therapeutic
index drug has a wide margin of
safety and carries less risk of drug
toxicity.

Therapy
Determinants That Affect Drug Therapy
Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, 2003 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
16
Practice Question #1
A client has liver and kidney disease. He is given a
medication with a half-life of 30 hours. The nurse
expects the duration of this medication to
A.
B.
C.
D.
increase.
decrease.
remain unchanged.
dissipate.
Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, 2003 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
17
Practice Question #1 (cont’d)
Answer: A
Rationale: Metabolism and elimination affect
the half-life of a drug. With liver or kidney
dysfunction, the half-life of the drug is
prolonged and less drug is metabolized and
eliminated.
Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, 2003 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
18
Practice Question #2
In older adults and those with renal dysfunction, the
nurse knows that creatinine clearance is usually
A.
B.
C.
D.
substantially increased.
slightly increased.
decreased.
in the normal range.
Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, 2003 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
19
Practice Question #2 (cont’d)
Answer: C
Rationale: Creatinine clearance is the most accurate
test to determine renal function. Creatinine is a
metabolic byproduct of muscle that is excreted by
the kidneys. Creatinine clearance varies with age
and gender. Lower values are expected in older
adult and female clients because of their decreased
muscle mass. A decrease in renal GFR (common in
older adults) results in a decrease in urine creatinine
clearance.

25
Planning
Characterized by goal setting
Example: The client will independently
administer prescribed dose of albuterol by the
end of the first session of instruction.

the goals

General
Self-administration
Diet
Side effects
Cultural and genetic considerations

27
Helpful and Healthful Points to
Remember
Take medication as prescribed by your
healthcare provider. If you have questions,
call.
Keep medication in original labeled
container and store as instructed.
Keep all medicines out of reach of
children. Remind grandparents and visitors
to monitor their purses and luggage when
visiting.

28
Helpful and Healthful Points to
Remember (cont’d)
Before using any OTC drugs (including
aspirin and laxatives), check with your
healthcare provider. Pharmacists are good
resources to ask before buying or using a
product.
Bring all medications with you when you
visit the healthcare provider.
Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, 2003 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
29
Helpful and Healthful Points to
Remember (cont’d)
Know why you are taking each medication
and under what circumstances to notify the
health care provider.
Alcohol may alter the action and
absorption of the medication. Use of
alcoholic beverages is discouraged around
the time you take your medications and is
absolutely contraindicated with certain
medications.

30
Helpful and Healthful
Points to Remember (cont’d)
Smoking tobacco alters absorption of
some medications
Theophylline-type drugs
Tranquilizers
Antidepressants
Pain medications
Consult your health care provider or
pharmacist for specific information.

Practice Question #1
Which of the following is a correctly written goal by
the nurse?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Client will administer the prescribed dose.
Client will learn to administer insulin.
Client will know how to take insulin correctly.
Client will independently administer prescribed
dose of insulin at end of 1 hour of instruction.
Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, 2003 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
36
Practice Question #1 (cont’d)
Answer: D
Rationale: The goal “Client will independently
administer prescribed dose of insulin at end of
1 hour of instruction” meets the following
criteria of planning: This goal is client
centered, clearly states expected change, is
realistic and measurable, has realistic
deadlines, and identifies components for
evaluation.

37
Practice Question #2
Which of the following should the nurse expect in the
implementation phase of the nursing process?
(Select all that apply.)
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Cost of drugs
Administration technique
Instructions regarding drug discontinuation
Foods to avoid when taking a certain drug

Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, 2003 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
38
Practice Question #2 (cont’d)
Answer: B, C, D, E
Rationale: Client teaching should include general
information (e.g., instructions for taking drug,
importance of compliance, monitoring of laboratory
values); self-administration (drug administration,
route, appropriate technique); diet (foods to include
or avoid in the diet); side effects (which side effects
to expect and which to report to HCP); and cultural
considerations.
