This report provides an overview of the rights of medication administration and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The rights are the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time. Pharmacokinetics influences the decided course of administration for a specific medication. Healthcare practitioners must understand how medication works, the amount and frequency of each dose, and its dosing intervals. Pharmacodynamics is the study of how a medicine acts on a living organism and the mechanisms of action. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics must consider the rights of medication administration, and accept them as goals of the medication process.
rights of medication administration, and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
BASIC CONCEPTS OF PHARMACOKINETICS AND PHARMACODYNAMICS
The basic concepts of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics involve how medication drugs work inside the body. Primary goals of clinical pharmacokinetics include enhancing efficacy and decreasing the toxicity of a patient’s drug therapy. Drugs’ binding on receptors determines how medication works, especially where it is not possible to concentrate drugs on particular tissues. It is possible to change plasma drug concentration to reflect changes in drug concentrations at receptor sites. As the concentration of drug in plasma increases, the concentration of drug in most tissues will increase proportionally. These actions should take into account the rights of medication administration to accommodate all the variables.

OVERVIEW OF HOW MEDICINES WORK
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics involve the study of how medication works. Swallowed medicines first travel through the esophagus to the stomach. The acid in the stomach dissolves the drug and flushes it into the small intestines. The aspect of timing in the rights of medication administration varies for different medicines. Medicine taken for diarrhea or constipation seeks out the target receptor in the small intestines. Other medicines move into the bloodstream then seek out their target receptors. Some receptors are present in the blood. Professionals in the fields of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics also understand that drugs can also bind to other receptors surreptitiously. This may lead to unwanted side effects.
