Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacodynamics

· 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.

· Think about a personalized plan of care based on these influencing factors and patient history in your case study.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post a description of the case you selected. Then, describe factors that might have influenced pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of the patient from the case you selected. Finally, explain details of the personalized plan of care that you would develop based on influencing factors and patient history in your case.

  • Chapter 2, “Pharmacokinetic      Basis of Therapeutics and Pharmacodynamic Principles” (pp. 17-31)
    This chapter examines concepts related to pharmacokinetics and      pharmacodynamics. It also explores patient factors that health care      providers consider when prescribing drug therapy to patients.
  • Chapter 3, “Impact of Drug      Interactions and Adverse Events on Therapeutics” (pp. 33-51)
    This chapter explains drug-drug, drug-food, drug-herb, and drug-disease      interactions. It also reviews patient factors that influence drug      interactions and then covers adverse drug reactions.
  • Chapter 4, “Principles of      Pharmacotherapy in Pediatrics” (pp. 53-63)
    This chapter explores concepts relating to drug selection, administration,      and interaction for pediatric patients. It also compares age-related      pharmacokinetic differences in children and adults.
  • Chapter 6, “Principles of Pharmacotherapy in      Elderly Patients” (pp. 73-89)
    This chapter describes issues and factors that affect drug therapy for      elderly patients. It then explores concepts relating to drug selection,      administration, and management for elderly patients.
