1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is
having acomputed tomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the
oncology unit administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer.
At the Public HealthDepartment, 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
wis
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 treata disease. Pharmacoeconomics
includes any costs involved in drug therapy.Pharmacodynamics
epr
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
of
morphine be classified?
A) Schedule I
B) Schedule II
