Answer: No.
Explanation:
Studying about diseases, their effect, cause and the prevention of diseases is known as Epidemiology, and the scientists that studies Epidermiology and take it as a professsion are called Epidermiologists.
From the question; assuming the epidemiologist who finds a correlation between the use of tanning beds and melanoma (an aggressive form of skin cancer) in college-age women, the Epidermiologist can NOT conclude that tanning beds cause skin cancer BECAUSE the fact that the the use of tanning beds CORRELATE with melanoma (an aggressive form of skin cancer) in college-age women does not PROOF THAT tanning beds cause skin cancer.
===>That is, the fact that something correlate with another thing does not make it the cause.
<span>achieve a therapeutic objective (cure disease, mitigate symptoms etc.)
minimize toxicity
minimize difficulty of administration
identify dosing regimens</span>List the goals of drug therapytherapeutic window/rangethe plasma concentration range that is effective and safe in treating specific diseasestrue(T,F): The therapeutic response is dependent on drug achieving an adequate plasma concentrationmultiple doses________ are given to stay in the therapeutic windowvolume of distribution (V)<span>an important indicator of the extent of drug distribution into body fluids and tissues
relates the amount of drug in the body to the measured concentration in the plasma
it is the volume required to account for all of the drug in the body if the concentration in all tissues is the same as the plasma tissue.</span>clearancethe process of removing a drug from plasma (expressed as volume of plasma per a given unit of time)true(T,F): Clearance indicates the volume of plasma (or blood) from which the drug is completely removed, or cleared, in a given time period.half-life<span>volume of distribution and clearance influences the _______ of a drug.
Dosing regimen: How often?</span>oral bioavailability<span>clearance and absorption influences the ________ of a drug
Dosing regimen: How much?</span>steady statethe amount of drug administered is equal to the amount of drug eliminated within one dosing interval resulting in a plateau or constant serum drug levelshortDrugs with a _____ half-life reach steady state rapidlylongDrugs with a ____ half-life take days to weeks to reach steady statetherapeutic windowA steady state is desired within the _________half-lifethe time necessary for the concentration of drug in the plasma to decrease by one-half (50%)about 5How many half-lives are required to reach steady state?loading dosesoften administered at the initiation of an infusion to achieve an immediate therapeutic plasma concentration of the drug (allows rapid achievement of therapeutic serum)true(T,F): The same loading dose is used regardless of metabolism/elimination dysfunction
It predicts blood sugar levels
INDICATION:
Both tramadol and trazodone are prescribed as pain relievers and sleep aid. But the difference is that the tramadol is an opioid, and the trazodone is an antidepressant. They are from different family but they could be used for the same indication.
SIDE EFFECTS:
Tramadol and trazodone may have some side effects but not the same frequency of them, for example, both tramadol and trazodone give nausea but it is more frequent with tramadol than with trazodone.
Trazodone can cause weight gain and tramadol can cause both weight gain or loss.
Trazodone takers can have nightmares and tramadol can have paranoia and hallucinations.
