Chapter 01 - Introduction to Drugs
1. A nurse\ working\ in\ radiology \ administers\ iodine\ to\ a\ patient\ who\ is\ having \ a\
computed \ tomography \ (CT)\ scan.\ The\ nurse\ working \ on\ the\ oncology\ unit\
administers\ chemotherapy\ to\ patients\ who\ have\ cancer.\ At\ the\ Public\ Health\
Department,\ a\ nurse\ administers\ a\ measles-mumps-rubella\ (MMR)\ vaccine\ to\
a\ 14-month-old\ child\ as\ a\ routine\ immunization.\ Which\ branch\ of\
pharmacology \ best\ describes\ the\ actions\ of\ all\ three\ nurses?
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
Ans: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology\ is\ the\ study\ of\ the\ biologic\ effects\ of\ chemicals.\ Nurses\ are\
involved\ with\ clinical\ pharmacology\ or\ pharmacotherapeutics,\ which\ is\ a\
branch\ of\ pharmacology\ that\ deals\ with\ the\ uses\ of\ drugs\ to\ treat,\ prevent,\ and\
diagnose\ disease.\ The\ radiology\ nurse\ is\ administering\ a\ drug\ to\ help\
diagnose\ a\ disease.\ The\ oncology\ nurse\ is\ administering\ a\ drug\ to\ help\ treat\ a\
disease.\ Pharmacoeconomics\ includes\ any\ costs\ involved \ in\ drug\ therapy.
Pharmacodynamics\ involves\ how\a\ drug\ affects\ the\ body\ and\
pharmacokinetics\ is\ how\the\ body\ acts\ on\ the\ body.
2. A\ physician \ has\ ordered\ intramuscular\ (IM)\ injections \ of\ morphine,\ a\ narcotic,\
every\ 4\ hours\ as\ needed\ for\ pain\ in\ a\ motor\ vehicle\ accident\ victim.\ The\ nurse \
is\ aware\ this\ drug\ has\ a\ high\ abuse \ potential.\ Under\ what\ category\ would\
morphine\ be\ classified?
A) Schedule\ I
B) Schedule\ II
C) Schedule\ III
D) Schedule\ IV
Ans: B
Feedback:
, Test Bank - Karch's Focus on Nursing Pharmacology (9th by Tucker) 4
Narcotics\ with\ a\ high\ abuse\ potential\ are\ classified\ as\ Schedule\ II\ drugs\
because\ of\ severe\ dependence\ liability.\ Schedule\ I\ drugs\ have\ high\ abuse \
potential\ and\ no\ accepted\ medical\ use.\ Schedule\ III\ drugs\ have\ a\ lesser\ abuse\
potential\ than\ II\ and\ an\ accepted\ medical\ use.\ Schedule\ IV \ drugs\ have\ low\
abuse\ potential\ and\ limited\ dependence \ liability.
3. When\ involved\ in\ phase\ III\ drug\ evaluation\ studies,\ what\ responsibilities\ would\
the\ nurse\ have?
A) Working\ with\ animals\ who\ are\ given\ experimental\ drugs
B) Choosing\ appropriate\ patients\ to\ be\ involved\ in\ the\ drug\ study
C) Monitoring\ and\ observing\ patients\ closely\ for\ adverse\ effects
D) Conducting\ research\ to\ determine\ effectiveness\ of\ the\ drug\
Ans: C
Feedback:
Phase\ III\ studies\ involve\ use\ of\ a\ drug\ in\ a\ vast\ clinical\ population\ in\ which \
patients\ are\ asked\ to\ record\ any\ symptoms\ they\ experience\ while\ taking\ the\
drugs.\ Nurses\ may\ be\ responsible\ for\ helping\ collect\ and\ analyze\ the\
information \ to\ be\ shared\ with\ the\ Food\ and\ Drug\ Administration\ (FDA)\ but\
would\ not\ conduct\ research\ independently\ because\ nurses\ do\ not\ prescribe\
medications.\ Use\ of\ animals\ in\ drug\ testing\ is\ done\ in\ the\ preclinical\ trials.
Select\ patients\ who\ are\ involved\ in\ phase\ II\ studies\ to\ participate\ in\ studies\
where\ the\ participants\ have\ the\ disease\ the\ drug\ is\ intended\ to\ treat.\ These\
patients\ are\ monitored\ closely\ for\ drug\ action\ and\ adverse\ effects.\ Phase\ I\
studies\ involve \ healthy\ human\ volunteers\ who\ are\ usually \ paid\ for\ their\
participation.\ Nurses\ may\ observe \ for\ adverse\ effects\ and\ toxicity.
4. What\ concept\ is\ considered\ when\ generic\ drugs\ are\ substituted\ for\ brand\
name\drugs?
A) Bioavailability
B) Critical\ concentration
C) Distribution
D) Half-life
Ans: A
