1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
computedtomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
14-month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
describes the actions of all three nurses?
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics

Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
involved with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
of pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
disease.The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease.

2. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
narcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
victim. The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
whatcategory would morphine be classified?
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
A) Schedule I x1
B) Schedule II x1
C) Schedule III x1
D) Schedule IV x1
ANSWER: B
, Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
abuse potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
lesser abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
drugs havelow abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

3. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
responsibilitieswould the nurse have?
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
B) Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug study
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
C) Monitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
whichpatients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
taking thedrugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
analyze the information to be shared with the Food and Drug
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
Administration (FDA) butwould not conduct research independently
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
because nurses do not prescribe medications. Use of animals in drug
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
testing is done in the preclinical trials. Select patients who are involved
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
in phase II studies to participate in studies where the participants have
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
the disease the drug is intended to treat. These patients are monitored
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I studies involve
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their participation.
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
Nurses may observe for adverse effects and toxicity.

4. What concept is considered when generic drugs are substituted for
x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
brandname drugs?

A) Bioavailability
B) Critical concentration x1
C) Distribution
