Full Description
This exam focuses on the fundamental principles of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in relation to aging. It examines how physiological changes throughout the aging process affect drug efficacy and metabolism.
Understanding these principles is critical for the development of appropriate therapeutic strategies for elderly patients. The implications of altered pharmacological responses influence clinical practice and the management of polypharmacy in older adults.
The exam will assess the candidate's ability to verbally articulate key concepts, including age-related alterations in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
Candidates should demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the pharmacological changes associated with aging and discuss their significance in clinical settings.
Sample Questions
- What are the primary pharmacokinetic changes that occur with aging?
- How can these changes affect drug dosing in elderly patients?
