victus00 [196]

Answer:

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are one of the commonest causes of medication error in developed countries, particularly in the elderly due to poly-therapy, with a prevalence of 20-40%. In particular, poly-therapy increases the complexity of therapeutic management and thereby the risk of clinically important DDIs, which can both induce the development of adverse drug reactions or reduce the clinical efficacy. DDIs can be classify into two main groups: pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic. In this review, using Medline, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library and Reference lists we searched articles published until June 30 2012, and we described the mechanism of pharmacokinetic DDIs focusing the interest on their clinical implications.

Keywords: Absorption, adverse drug reaction, distribution, drug-drug interactions, excretion, metabolism, poly-therapy

the nurse administers vasopressin to a client and recalls that the medication is which type of hormone
grandymaker [24]

A client is given vasopressin by the nurse, who remembers that it is an anti-diuretic hormone.

Vasopressin would be an antidiuretic hormone; as its other name implies, it reduces water outflow by the kidneys by boosting water reabsorption inside the collecting ducts. Vasopressin also significantly narrows the arterioles all over the body.

Because it causes blood vessels to contract, the antidiuretic hormone also is known as vasopressin.

The hypothalamus produces vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), arginine vasopressin (AVP), and other nonapeptides. It has been shown by science that it is crucial for maintaining the body's osmotic equilibrium, controlling blood pressure, maintaining salt homeostasis, and maintaining renal function.
