Chapter 1. Introduction: The Nature of Drugs & Drug Development & Regulation
1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
P computed tomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit
P P P P P P P P P P P
administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
P P P P P P P P P P
P Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine
P P P P P P P P
to a 14-month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of
P P P P P P P P P P P
pharmacology best describes the actions of all three nurses? P P P P P P P P
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are
P P P P P P P P P P P P
involved with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a
P P P P P P P P P
branch of pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent,
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
and diagnose disease. The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help
P P P P P P P P P P P P
diagnose a disease. The oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
P disease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
P P P P P P P P
Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body and P P P P P P P P
Ppharmacokinetics is how the body acts on the body. P P P P P P P P
2. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
P P P P P P P P P P
narcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident victim.
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
P The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under what
P P P P P P P P P P P P P
category would morphine be classified? P P P P
A) Schedule I P
B) Schedule II P
