a nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a computed tomography(ct)
scan. the nurse working on the oncology unit administers chemotherapy to patients who have
cancer. at the public health department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (mmr)
vaccine to a 14-month-old child as a routine immunization. which branch of pharmacology best
describes the actions of all three nurses?
pharmacoeconomics
pharmacotherapeutics
pharmacodynamics
pharmacokinetics
ans: b
feedback:
pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. nurses are involved with clinical
pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of pharmacology that deals with the uses of
drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease. the radiology nurse is administering a drug to help
diagnose a disease. the oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a disease.
pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy. pharmacodynamics involves how a
drug affects the body and pharmacokinetics is how the body acts on the body.
a physician has ordered intramuscular (im) injections of morphine, a narcotic, every 4 hours as neededfor
pain in a motor vehicle accident victim. the nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential.
under what category would morphine be classified?
schedule i
schedule ii
schedule iii
schedule iv
ans: b
feedback:
narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as schedule ii drugs because of severe dependence
