NURS 501 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
(VERIFIED ANSWERS) A GRADE
4 Phases of clinical testing - correct answer-
phase 1- looking for something to happen, need healthy
volunteers, drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, biologic
effects (70% move to next phase)
phase 2- need hundreds of patients with condition,
therapeutic effects, dose ranges (33% move to next
phase)
phase 3- need patients, safety and effectiveness, apply to
FDA for approval of new drug (25-30% move to next
phase)
phase 4- released for general use, post-marketing
surveillance (did it work?), hard to establish adverse
reactions
,4 types of Pharmacokinetics - correct answer-
Absorption
Distribution
metabolism
excretion
Absorption - correct answer- weak acids ionize
to get into blood stream
PO (enteric and sustained - DO NOT CRUSH), IV, IM SubQ
Acute pain - correct answer- Triggered by
injury, rapid onset, short duration, oozes fluid/plasma,
non-specific
APINCH - correct answer- A- anti-infectives
P- potassium/ other electrolytes
I- insulin
, N- narcotics/other sedatives (high-risk infusions/done by
2 RN's)
C- chemotherapeutic agents
H- Herapin/other anticoagulants (high-risk infusions/done
by 2 RN's)
AVR - correct answer- Adverse Reactions such
as allergic reactions (avoidable) and side effects (generally
unavoidable)
B cells - correct answer- (bone marrow) use
antibodies to recognize proteins
Basophils - correct answer- in the blood;
enhance inflammation process; binding site for IgE
BRIEFLY describe the steps of the nursing process -
correct answer- Assessment - Conduct the
health history, physical assessment, Interview the
patient's family or significant others, Study the health
