Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
TO PREPARE:
(1) REVIEW RESOURCES AND CONSIDER THE PRINCIPLES OF PHARMACOKINETICS AND PHARMACODYNAMICS.
(2) THINK ABOUT HOW PHARMACOKINETIC AND PHARMACODYNAMIC FACTORS ALTERED A PATIENTS ANTICIPATED RESPONSE TO A DRUG.
(3)CONSIDER FACTORS THAT MIGHT HAVE INFLUENCED THE PATIENT’S PHARMACOKINETIC AND PHARMACODYNAMIC PROCESSES, SUCH AS GENETICS[INCLUDING PHARMACOGENETICS], GENDER, ETHNICITY, AGE, BEHAVIOR, AND/OR POSSIBLE PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES DUE TO DISEASE.
(4) THINK ABOUT A PERSONALIZED PLAN OF CARE BASED ON THESE INFLUENCING FACTORS AND PATIENT HISTORY IN YOUR CASE STUDY.
ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS ARE:
(A) POST A DESCRIPTION OF THE PATIENT CASE FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES, OBSERVATION, AND /OR CLINICAL PRACTICE. THEN, DESCRIBE FACTORS THAT MIGHT HAVE INFLUENCED PHARMACOKINETIC AND PHARMACODYNAMIC PROCESSES OF THE PATIENT YOU IDENTIFIED.
(B) FINALLY, EXPLAIN DETAILS OF THE PERSONALIZED PLAN OF CARE THAT YOU WOULD DEVELOP BASED ON INFLUENCING FACTORS AND PATIENT HISTORY IN YOUR CASE. BE SPECIFIC AND PROVIDE EXAMPLES.
(C) ANSWER ALL PARTS OF THE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS EXPECTATION WITH REFLECTIVE CRITICAL ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS OF KNOWLEDGE. WRITE CLEARLY AND CONCISELY WITH NO GRAMMATICAL OR SPELLING ERRORS TO CURRENT APA MANUALLY WRITING RULES AND STYLE. PROVIDE AT LEAST THREE REFERENCES.
(D) RESPOND TO TWO COLLEAGUES BY SUGGESTING ADDITIONAL PATIENT FACTORS THAT MIGHT HAVE INTERFERED WITH THE PHARMACOKINETIC AND PHARMACODYNAMIC PROCESSES OF THE PATIENTS THEY DESCRIBED.
IN ADDITION, SUGGEST HOW THE PERSONALIZED PLAN OF CARE MIGHT CHANGE IF THE AGE OF THE PATIENT WERE DIFFERENT AND /OR IF THE PATIENT HAD A COMORBID CONDITION, SUCH AS RENAL FAILURE, HEART FAILURE, OR LIVER FAILURE.
(E) PROVIDE TWO REFERENCES EACH FOR THE TWO COLLEAGUE RESPONSES.
