1. A Nurse Working In Radiology Administers Iodine To A Patient Who Is Having A
Computedtomography (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?
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) 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.
2. A Physician Has Ordered Intramuscular (Im) Injections Of Morphine, A
Narcotic, Every 4 Hours As Needed For 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?
A) Schedule I
B) Schedule Ii
C) Schedule Iii
D) Schedule Iv
ANS: B
, Feedback:
Narcotics With A High Abuse Potential Are Classified As Schedule Ii Drugs
Because Of Severe Dependence Liability. Schedule I Drugs Have High
Abuse Potential And No Accepted Medical Use. Schedule Iii Drugs Have
A Lesser Abuse Potential Than Ii And An Accepted Medical Use. Schedule
Iv Drugs Have Low Abuse Potential And Limited Dependence Liability.
3. When Involved In Phase Iii Drug Evaluation Studies, What
Responsibilities Would The Nurse Have?
A) Working With Animals Who Are Given Experimental Drugs
B) Choosing Appropriate Patients To Be Involved In The Drug Study
C) Monitoring And Observing Patients Closely For Adverse Effects
D) Conducting Research To Determine Effectiveness Of The Drug
ANS: C
Feedback:
Phase Iii Studies Involve Use Of A Drug In A Vast Clinical Population In
Which Patients Are Asked To Record Any Symptoms They Experience
While Taking The Drugs. Nurses May Be Responsible For Helping Collect
And Analyze The Information To Be Shared With The Food And Drug
Administration (Fda) But Would Not Conduct Research Independently
Because Nurses Do Not Prescribe Medications. Use Of Animals In Drug
Testing Is Done In The Preclinical Trials. Select Patients Who Are Involved
In Phase Ii Studies To Participate In Studies Where The Participants Have
The Disease The Drug Is Intended To Treat. These Patients Are Monitored
Closely For Drug Action And Adverse Effects. Phase I Studies Involve
Healthy Human Volunteers Who Are Usually Paid For Their Participation.
Nurses May Observe For Adverse Effects And Toxicity.
4. What Concept Is Considered When Generic Drugs Are Substituted For
Brand Name Drugs?
A) Bioavailability
B) Critical Concentration
C) Distribution
D) Half-Life
ANS: A
