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

ANSWER: 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 a disease. Pharmacoeconomics
includes any costs involved in drug therapy. Pharmacodynamics
involves how a drug affects the body and pharmacokinetics is how the

Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs
because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser
abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs have
low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.
3. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what
responsibilities would 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
ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical
population in which patients are asked to record any
symptoms they experience while taking the drugs. Nurses
may be responsible for helping collect and analyze the
information to be shared with the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) but would not conduct research
independently because nurses do not prescribe medications.
Use of animals in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials.
