r r r r r r r r r r r r


rThus, an essential aspect of pharmacology is drug action. An understanding of the drug
r r r r r r r r r r r r r


name, drug class, and drug source is important, but the most critical aspect related to
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


rpharmacology is how the drug acts in the body. r r r r r r r r

2. A nurse suspects the client had an adverse reaction to a prescribed medication due to an
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


interaction with an unreported over-the-counter supplement. Which action by the nurse
r r r r r r r r r r r


will best assist in preventing future similar incidents?
r r r r r r r r


A) File a report with MedWatch r r r r




B) File a report with the State Board of Nursing
r r r r r r r r




C) Instruct the client to avoid combining medications in the future
r r r r r r r r r




D) Document the incident and report it to the health care provider r r r r r r r r r r




Answer: A r




Rationale: Nurses play an important role in monitoring for adverse reactions. Therefore, it is
r r r r r r r r r r r r r


important to submit reports, even if there is uncertainty about the cause–effect relationship.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r


The FDA protects the identity of those who voluntarily report adverse reactions.

3. A nurse is assessing a client and notes the client has developed swelling of the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


reyelids and lips after administration of a prescribed medication. What does the nurse
r r r r r r r r r r r r


rinterpret this finding to specifically indicate?r r r r r


A) Mild allergic reaction r r




B) Anaphylactic shock r




C) Angioedema
D) Drug idiosyncrasy r




Answer: C r




Rationale: Angioedema is a type of allergic drug reaction manifested by the collection of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r


fluid in the subcutaneous tissues, most commonly affecting the eyelids, lips, mouth, and
r r r r r r r r r r r r r


throat. Allergic reactions can be manifested by a wide range of signs and symptoms such
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


ras itching, rashes, and hives. Anaphylactic shock is a serious allergic reaction that
r r r r r r r r r r r r


requires immediate medical attention. Drugidiosyncrasydescribes anyunusual or abnormal
r r r r r r r r r


reaction to a drug, one that is different from the one normally expected.

4. The nurse is preparing to teach a client about a new drug which is in the fourth phase of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


rdevelopment. Which activity will the nurse explain best illustrates this phase? r r r r r r r r r r


A) Health care providers report adverse effects to FDA. r r r r r r r




B) Healthy volunteers are involved in thetest. r r r r r r




C) In vitro tests are performed using human cells.
r r r r r r r




D) The drug is given to clients with thedisease.
r r r r r r r r




Answer: A r

, Rationale: The postmarketing surveillance phase of drug development encourages health care
r r r r r r r r r r


professionals to report adverse effects of drugs to the FDA using MedWatch. Phase 1 of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


clinical testing involves 20 to 100 healthy volunteers. In vitro testing of the drug
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


ron human or animal cells is done in the pre-FDA phase. In Phase 2 of clinical testing, the drug is
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


given to clients with the disease for which the drug is manufactured.
