1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



computedtomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit administers
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health Department, a
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-month-old child
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best describes the actions of
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



all three nurses?
jj jj jj




A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



disease.The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a disease. Pharmacoeconomics
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



includes any costs involved in drug therapy. Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



affects the body and pharmacokinetics is how the body acts on the body.

2. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



narcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



victim. The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



whatcategory would morphine be classified?
jj j jj jj jj jj




A) Schedule I jj




B) Schedule II jj




C) Schedule III jj




D) Schedule IV jj




ANSWER: B

, Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



havelow abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

3. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



responsibilitieswould the nurse have?
jj j jj jj jj




A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




B) Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug study jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




C) Monitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



whichpatients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



taking thedrugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and analyze
jj jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



the information to be shared with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



butwould not conduct research independently because nurses do not
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



prescribe medications. Use of animals in drug testing is done in the
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



preclinical trials. Select patients who are involved in phase II studies to
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



participate in studies where the participants have the disease the drug is
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



intended to treat. These patients are monitored closely for drug action and
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



adverse effects. Phase I studies involve healthy human volunteers who are
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



usually paid for their participation. Nurses may observe for adverse effects
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



and toxicity.

4. What concept is considered when generic drugs are substituted for
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj



brandname drugs?
jj j jj




A) Bioavailability
B) Critical concentration jj




C) Distribution
D) Half-life
