1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is
m m m m m m m m m m m
mhaving a computed tomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the
m m m m m m m m m m
moncology unit administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At

mWhich branch of pharmacology best describes the actions of all three
m m m m m m m m m m
mnurses?
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are
m m m m m m m m m m m
involved with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a
m m m m m m m m m
branch of pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat,
m m m m m m m m m m m m
prevent, and diagnose disease. The radiology nurse is administering a
m m m m m m m m m m
drug to help diagnose a disease. The oncology nurse is administering a
m m m m m m m m m m m m
drug to help treat adisease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs
m m m m m m m m m m
involved in drug therapy.
m m m m
Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body m m m m m m m
andpharmacokinetics is how the body acts on the body.

victim.The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
what categorywould morphine be classified?
