1. Afterteaching a group of learners aboutthebasics ofpharmacology, the learners will be able to
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
choose which aspect as the most critical to remember?
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
A) Drug name l7
B) Drug class l7
C) Drug action l7
D) Drug source l7
ACCURATE CHOICE:-C l7
Reasoning :->> Pharmacology is the study of drugs and its action on living organisms.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
Thus, an essential aspect of pharmacology is drug action. An understanding of the drug
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
name, drug class, and drug source is important, but the most critical aspect related to
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l 7 l7 l7 l7
pharmacology is how the drug acts in the body.

2. A nursing attendant suspects the hospital client had an adverse reaction to a prescribed
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
medication due to an interaction with an unreported over-the-counter supplement.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
Which action by the nursing attendant will best assist in preventing future similar
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
incidents?
l7
A) File a report with MedWatch l7 l7 l7 l7
B) File a report with the State Board of Nursing
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
C) Instruct the hospital client to avoid combining medications in the future
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
D) Document the incident and report it to the primary health care provider l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
ACCURATE CHOICE:-A l7
Reasoning :->> Professional nurses play an important role in monitoring for adverse
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
reactions. Therefore, it is important to submit reports, even if there is uncertainty about the
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
cause–effect relationship. The FDA protects the identity of those who voluntarily report
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
adverse reactions.

3. A nursing attendant is assessing a hospital client and notes the hospital client has
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
developed swelling of the eyelids and lips after administration of a prescribed medication.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
What does the nursing attendant interpret this finding to specifically indicate?
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
A) Mild allergic reaction l7 l7
B) Anaphylactic shock l7
C) Angioedema
D) Drug idiosyncrasy l7
ACCURATE CHOICE:-C l7
Reasoning:->> Angioedema is a type of allergic drug reaction manifested by the collection l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
of fluid in the subcutaneous tissues, most commonly affecting the eyelids, lips, mouth, and
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
throat. Allergic reactions can be manifested by a wide range of signs and symptoms such as
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
itching, rashes, and hives. Anaphylactic shock is a serious allergic reaction that requires
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
immediate medical attention. Drug idiosyncrasy describes any unusual or abnormal reaction
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
to a drug, one that is different from the one normally expected.

4. The nursing attendant is preparing to teach a hospital client about a new drug which is in
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
the fourth phase of development. Which activity will the nursing attendant explain best
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
illustrates this phase?
l7 l7 l7
A) Primary health care providers report adverse effects to FDA. l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
B) Healthy volunteers are involved in the test. l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
C) In vitro tests are performed using human cells.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
D) The drug is given to hospital clients with the disease.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
ACCURATE CHOICE:-A l7
, Reasoning:->> The post marketing surveillance phase of drug development encourages l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
primary health care professionals to report adverse effects of drugs to the FDA using MedWatch.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
Phase 1 of clinical testing involves 20 to 100 healthy volunteers. In vitro testing of the drug
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
on human or animal cells is done in the pre-FDA phase. In Phase 2 of clinical testing, the drug
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
is given to hospital clients with the disease for which the drug is manufactured.

l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
cocaine addiction. Which condition of the baby after birth should the nursing
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
attendant explain and prepare the hospital client for?
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
A) Diabetes
B) Hypertension
C) Addiction to drugs l7 l7
D) CNS defects l7
ACCURATE CHOICE:-C l7
Reasoning:->> The nursing attendant informs the hospital client that children born to l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
mothers using addictive drugs are often born with an addiction to the drug. Children
l 7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
born to mothers who are addicted to cocaine are not known to be born with diabetes, CNS
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
