Types of Drug Interactions ( 14 Questions)
A nurse is administering two drugs to a patient and one drug induces the metabolism of another drug’s metabolic pathway. What effect will this have on plasma levels?
Induction increases enzyme activity leading to faster metabolism and elimination of drugs resulting in lower plasma levels.
Increasing plasma levels will not occur as induction increases enzyme activity leading to faster elimination of drugs.
No effect will not occur as induction increases enzyme activity leading to faster elimination of drugs.
Increasing half-life will not occur as induction increases enzyme activity leading to faster elimination of drugs.
Induction increases enzyme activity leading to faster metabolism and elimination of drugs resulting in lower plasma levels.
a. plasma levels will occur due to faster elimination of drugs.
b. Increasing plasma levels will not occur as induction increases enzyme activity leading to faster elimination of drugs.
c. No effect will not occur as induction increases enzyme activity leading to faster elimination of drugs.
d. Increasing half-life will not occur as induction increases enzyme activity leading to faster elimination of drugs.
