t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Response:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involvedt3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
t3 with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
t3 pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease.
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3

2.A physician has ordered intramuscular injections of morphine, a narcotic, every 4 hours
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
t3 as needed for pain for a motor vehicle accident victim. The nurse is aware thatthere is a
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
t3 high abuse potential for this drug; therefore, morphine is categorized as a:
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
A) Schedule I drug t3 t3
B) Schedule II drug t3 t3
C) Schedule III drug t3 t3
D) Schedule IV drug t3 t3
, ANSWER: B
Response:
Narcotics such as morphine are considered schedule II drugs because of the high abuse
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
t3 potential with severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse potential
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
t3 and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser abuse potential than
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
t3 schedule II drugs and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs havelow abuse
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
