NURS 6521 – Assignment help – Discussion Week 1
As an advanced practice nurse assisting physicians in the
diagnosis and treatment of disorders, it is important to not only
understand the impact of disorders on the body, but also the
impact of drug treatments on the body. The relationships between
drugs and the body can be described by pharmacokinetics and
pharmacodynamics.
Pharmacokinetics describes what the body does to the drug
through absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion,
whereas pharmacodynamics describes what the drug does to the
body.
When selecting drugs and determining dosages for patients, it is
essential to consider individual patient factors that might impact
the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes.
These patient factors include genetics, gender, ethnicity, age,
behavior (i.e., diet, nutrition, smoking, alcohol, illicit drug abuse),
and/or pathophysiological changes due to disease.
For this Assignment help – Discussion, you reflect on a case from your past clinical
experiences and consider how a patient’s pharmacokinetic and
pharmacodynamic processes may alter his or her response to a
drug.
