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


computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan. A nurse working on an oncology unit
y y y y y y y y y y y y


administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
y y y y y y y y y y y


Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-
y y y y y y y y y y y


month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best
y y y y y y y y y y y


describes the actions of all three nurses?
y y y y y y y


A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
Ans: B
Response:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved
y y y y y y y y y y y y


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


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


disease. The nurse working in radiology is administering a drug to help diagnose a
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


disease. The nurse working on an oncology unit is administering a drug to help treat a
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


disease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
y y y y y y y y y


Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body, and pharmacokinetics is y y y y y y y y y y


how the body acts on the drug.

2.A physician has ordered intramuscular injections of morphine, a narcotic, every 4
y y y y y y y y y y y


hours as needed for pain for a motor vehicle accident victim. The nurse is aware that
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


there is a high abuse potential for this drug; therefore, morphine is categorized as a:
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


A) Schedule I drug y y


B) Schedule II drug y y


C) Schedule III drug y y


D) Schedule IV drug y y


Ans: B
Response:
Narcotics such as morphine are considered schedule II drugs because of the high
y y y y y y y y y y y y


abuse potential with severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
y y y y y y y y y y y y


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


potential than schedule II drugs and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs have
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

3.A nurse working for a drug company is involved in phase III drug evaluation studies.
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


yWhich of the following might the nurse be responsible for during this stage of drug
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


ydevelopment?

, Chapter 1: Introduction to Drugs y y y y




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


B) Monitoring drug effects in patients who are selected to participate in a study, y y y y y y y y y y y y


who have the disease that the drug is meant to treat
y y y y y y y y y y y


C) Collecting records of symptoms that participants experience while taking a y y y y y y y y y


drug and determining whether they are caused by the disease or the drug
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


D) Informing healthy, young volunteer participants of possible risks that could y y y y y y y y y


occur from taking an experimental drug
y y y y y y


Ans: C
Response:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical market where patients are
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


asked to record any symptoms they experience while taking the drugs. Nurses may be
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


responsible for helping collect and analyze the information to be shared with the
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


yFood and Drug Administration (FDA). Use of animals in drug testing is done in the
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


preclinical trials. A select group of patients who are involved in phase II studies
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


participate in studies where the participants have the disease the drug is intended to
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


treat. These patients are monitored closely for drug effects. Phase I studies involve
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their participation. Nurses may
y y y y y y y y y y y y


observe for adverse effects and toxicity.

4. Which of the following concepts is considered when generic drugs are substituted for
y y y y y y y y y y y y


ybrand-name drugs? y


A) Bioavailability
B) Critical concentration y


C) Distribution
D) Half-life
Ans: A
Response:
Bioavailability is the portion of a dose of a drug that reaches the systemic circulation
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


yand is available to act on body cells. Binders used in a generic drug may not be the
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


ysame as those used in the brand-name drug. Therefore, the way the body breaks down
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


yand uses the drug may differ, which may eliminate a substitution. Critical
y y y y y y y y y y y


yconcentration is the amount of a drug that is needed to cause a therapeutic effect.
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


Distribution is the phase of pharmacokinetics that involves the movement of a drug to
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


ythe body's tissues. A drug's half-life is the time it takes for the amount of drug to
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


ydecrease to one-half of the peak level.y y y y y y

5. A nurse is teaching her patient about the use of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Which
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


y of the following statements best informs the patient about their safe use?
y y y y y y y y y y y


A) ―OTC drugs are products that are available without prescription for self-
y y y y y y y y y y


treatment of minor complaints.‖
y y y y


B) ―OTC drugs are considered medications and should be reported on a drug
y y y y y y y y y y y


history.‖ y
