Therapeutic drug levels are drawn when a drug reaches steady state. Drugs reach steady state:
 
  1. After the second dose
  2. After four to five half-lives
  3. When the patient feels the full effect of the drug
  4. One hour after IV administration

Question 2

An NP would prescribe the liquid form of ibuprofen for a 6-year-old child because:
 
  1. Drugs given in liquid form are less irritating to the stomach.
  2. A 6-year-old child may have problems swallowing a pill.
  3. Liquid forms of medication eliminate the concern for first-pass effect.
  4. Liquid ibuprofen does not have to be dosed as often as the tablet form.
