Pharmacokinetics ( 10 Questions)

A nurse is preparing to administer a medication that induces CYP450 enzymes.What should be considered when administering this drug with other medications?



Correct Answer: A

CYP450 enzymes are responsible for metabolizing many medications.Induction of CYP450 enzymes can increase their activity and accelerate metabolism of other medications that are substrates for these enzymes, potentially reducing their therapeutic effect and increasing the risk of drug interactions.

b.There is an increased, not decreased, risk of drug interactions due to accelerated metabolism of other medications.

c.There is an increased risk of drug interactions due to accelerated metabolism of other medications.

d.CYP450 induction can affect pharmacokinetics by altering metabolism of other medications that are substrates for these enzymes.
