, 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 toa 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 adisease. Pharmacoeconomics
includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body
andpharmacokinetics is how the body acts on the body.
2. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what
responsibilitieswould 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
