Half-Life Calculation

Description

Imagine you are trying to help a colleague understand some basic concepts about psychopharmacology. Write a brief paper to address the following: Explain the concept of half-life for a drug.

Differentiate between half-life and steady state. Explain the difference between potency and effectiveness of a drug. Respond to the following scenario: If a drug has a half-life of six hours, how long will it take for the drug to be eliminated from the body after administration of a single dose? Explain how you arrived at that particular cutoff score for complete elimination. Show your calculations on a timeline or graphs to illustrate the changes from 100 percent of the initial dose to your end point for complete elimination. Additional Requirements Length: 2–3 pages of content plus title, abstract, and reference pages. Include at least one current, scholarly reference from a peer-reviewed academic journal or academic book. References should be no older than 5 years.
