Week 1 Discussion

Impact of Pharmacokinetics on Medication Selection and Administration

As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely be responsible for selecting and prescribing pharmaceuticals to address your patients’ health needs and concerns. To what extent is understanding the pharmacokinetics of a certain medication important in your decision-making process when prescribing a medication for your patient?

Knowing the pharmacokinetic effects of medications—such as how long will the medication be absorbed and exert an effect on the body before it is eliminated—can have important implications for addressing your patient’s health needs.

For this Discussion, think about the types of decisions you might make, with an understanding of pharmacokinetics, when prescribing medications for your patients. Reflect on how having a working knowledge of pharmacokinetics of medications is important in your role as an advanced practice nurse.

Week 7 Knowledge Check 2

Question 1          A patient with respiratory failure has hemodynamic monitoring and is receiving mechanical ventilation with peak end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 10 cm H2O. Which information indicates that a change in the ventilator settings may be required?

a. The arterial line shows a blood pressure of 90/46.

b. The pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is decreased.

c. The cardiac monitor shows a heart rate of 58 beats/min.

d. The pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) is increased.                                 

Question 2          A 40 year-old. 6-foot tall man has been inpatient on the step down unit for the past 2 days. He was admitted for fever and cough with production of yellow sputum. His admission blood pressure was 128/72 and initial chest x-ray showed a left lower lobe infiltrate. His ABG on room air showed: pH 7.31, PCO2 30, PO2 78, HCO3 17. He was started on antibiotics and progress notes from he past two days indicate improvement in his condition.

The APRN is called by the nurse because of worsening of the patients condition. 

On your arrival to the room, vitals signs are. BP. 86/60 P 118  RR 38  oxygen saturation on a non-rebreather mask is 78% (this am it was 97% on 2L per NC). The patient is laboring to breath with accessory muscle use. He is less responsive, diaphoretic, and is speaking in short sentences. Repeat chest x-ray shows bilateral diffuse lung opacities. ABG on the non-rebreather mask show: pH 7.18, PCO2 47, PO2 56, HCO3 13.

The decision to intubate the patient is made. What initial ventilator settings would you order?

Initially his oxygen saturation improved to 94% on FiO2 of 50% but over the past two hours his FiO2 has been increased to 70% and his saturation is 89%. The patient is on 5 cm H2O of PEEP.

His current ABG shows pH 7.34, pCO2 36, PO2 61, HCO3 21 on an FIO2 of 80%. The patient’s repeat chest x-ray shows diffuse bilateral opacities in a pattern consistent with pulmonary edema. An echo earlier today was read as normal.

What can you do to improve his oxygenation?                                  

Question 4          A 59 year old man was admitted to the ICU for a COPD exacerbation. He was intubated earlier in the day. Initially after being intubated his static pressure was 23 cm H2o and peak pressure 47 cm H20. The APRN is notified that currently his peak pressure has risen to 62 cm H20 and the static pressure is 42 cm H20. His heart rate has increased from 88 to 112beats / minute and his blood pressure has decreased from 112/88 to 92/ 72. He has decreased breath sounds on the left side.

What management steps should you institute at this point?                                       

Question 5          A 59 year old man was admitted to the ICU for a COPD exacerbation. He was intubated earlier in the day. Initially after being intubated his static pressure was 23 cm H2o and peak pressure 47 cm H20. The APRN is notified that currently his peak pressure has risen to 62 cm H20 and the static pressure is 42 cm H20. His heart rate has increased from 88 to 112beats / minute and his blood pressure has decreased from 112/88 to 92/ 72. He has decreased breath sounds on the left side.

What do static and peek pressures represent on the ventilator?
