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.
