Which of the following drug classes is associated with significant differences in metabolism based on gender?
 
  1. Beta blockers
  2. Antibiotics
  3. Serotonin reuptake inhibitors
  4. Angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors

Question 2

Gender differences between men and women in pharmacokinetics include:
 
  1. More rapid gastric emptying so that drugs absorbed in the stomach have less exposure to absorption sites
  2. Higher proportion of body fat so that lipophilic drugs have relatively greater volumes of distribution
  3. Increased levels of bile acids so that drugs metabolized in the intestine have higher concentrations
  4. Slower organ blood flow rates so drugs tend to take longer to be excreted

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

All adverse reactions are commonly charted in red ink in the patient's record and usually are noted on the front of the chart. Failure to follow correct documentation procedures may result in malpractice lawsuits.

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.
