Difference between Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics.
Dynamics- study of how drugs act on the body(changes on cellular level, effects)
Kinetics- How the body acts on the drug. ( how the body absorbs, breaks down, eliminates drug)
Case Study. Triage. You are working in a busy Ortho office. The following 4 pt need seen. What order do you see the following pts and why?
A)70 yo M needing education for use of walker.
B)8 yr old F Needs sling applied to arm.
C)55 yr old F c/o hip pain from fall she had yesterday
D) 28 yr old F. hx of MS. 10 wks pregnant. c/o pain in her left leg and back.
1. 55 yr old F- could have fracture hip. Needs assessment and possible immediate intervention
2. 8yr old F- sling is quick application to help immobilize injury. ( likely sprain) Intervention only.
3. 28 yr old F- Pain is common with MS pts. Needs Assessment
4. 70 yr M- Teaching older pt can take extra time. No assessment needs done.

Glaucoma is a group of disorders in which the outflow of aqueous humor is impeded causing and increase in IOP( Intraocular Pressure)
Open Angle- Gradual
Closed angle - Acute/sudden.
Describe where and how gas exchange works in the lungs.
Gas exchange occurs in the capillary vessels in the alveoli. Oxygen we breath from the air travels down into the lungs and into the alveoli where small vessels ( known as capillaries) are located. Oxygen is transferred into the blood stream and carbon dioxide is transferred out of the blood stream. We breath in oxygen from the air and we breath out carbon dioxide from the body.
Tell me the differences between bradycardia, tachycardia, v fib, v tach, and asystole.
asystole- No electrical activity in the heart
V-Tach- ventricles are contracting to fast.
V-Fib- Ventricles do not contract but quiver.
Tachycardia- Heart beats too fast. ( for the purpose of this class >100 bpm)
Bradycardia- Heart beats too slow( for the purpose of this class <60 bpm)
