When prescribing and administering drugs, it is important to consider the patient's developmental stage. As individuals pass from fetus to a neonate, through infancy to childhood, adolescence, maturity and old age, major changes in anatomy and physiology occur that are reflected in different abilities to handle and respond to drugs.
在开药和用药时,考虑患者的发育阶段很重要。随着个体从胎儿成长为新生儿,再经过婴儿期到儿童期、青春期、成年期和老年期,解剖学和生理学发生了重大变化,这些变化反映在处理药物和对药物反应的不同能力上。
