Pharmacokinetics And Pharmacodynamics Week 4
Pharmacokinetics And Pharmacodynamics Week 4
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.
To Prepare
Review the Resources for this module and consider the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
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.
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.
By Day 3 of Week 1
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 pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of the patient you identified. Finally, explain 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.

Week 4 Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
Week 4 Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
Consider a scenario from your previous clinical experience and how a patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes may influence his or her response to a medicine.
To Get Ready
Examine the Resources for this topic and think about pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
Consider your recent experiences, observations, and/or clinical practices, and consider how pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors changed his or her anticipated response to a medicine.
Consider factors such as genetics (including pharmacogenetics), gender, ethnicity, age, behavior, and/or probable pathophysiological changes caused by disease that may have altered the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes.
Consider developing a customised plan of therapy based on these contributing factors and the patient’s needs.
