Assignment: Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
Reflect on a case from your past clinical experiences and consider how a patient's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes may alter his or her response to a drug.
a) Consider the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
b) Reflect on your experiences, observations, and/or clinical practices from the last 5 years and think about how pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors altered his or her anticipated response to a drug.
c) 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.
d) Think about a personalized plan of care based on these influencing factors and patient history in your case study.
Post a description of the patient case from your experiences, observations, and/or clinical practice from the last 5 years. Then, describe factors that might have influenced the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of the patient you identified. Finally, explain the details of the personalized plan of care that you would develop based on influencing factors and patient history in your case. Be specific and provide examples.
