choose which aspect as the most critical to remember?
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
A) Drug name nb
B) Drug class nb
C) Drug action nb
D) Drug source nb
ACCURATE CHOICE:-C nb
Reasoning :->> Pharmacology is the study of drugs and its action on living organisms. Thus,
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
an essential aspect of pharmacology is drug action. An understanding of the drug name, drug
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
class, and drug source is important, but the most critical aspect related to pharmacology is
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb n b nb nb nb nb nb
how the drug acts in the body.

2. A nursing attendant suspects the hospital client had an adverse reaction to a prescribed
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
medication due to an interaction with an unreported over-the-counter supplement.
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
Which action by the nursing attendant will best assist in preventing future similar
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
incidents?
nb
A) File a report with MedWatch nb nb nb nb
B) File a report with the State Board ofNursing
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
C) Instruct the hospital client to avoid combining medications in the future
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
D) Document the incident and report it to the primary health care provider nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
ACCURATE CHOICE:-A nb
Reasoning :->> Professional nurses play an important role in monitoring for adverse
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
reactions. Therefore, it is important to submit reports, even if there is uncertainty about the
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
cause–effect relationship. The FDA protects the identity of those who voluntarily report
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
adverse reactions.

3. A nursing attendant is assessing a hospital client and notes the hospital client has developed
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
swelling of the eyelids and lips after administration of a prescribed medication. What does
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
the nursing attendant interpret this finding to specifically indicate?
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
A) Mild allergic reaction nb nb
B) Anaphylactic shock nb
C) Angioedema
D) Drug idiosyncrasy nb
ACCURATE CHOICE:-C nb
Reasoning:->> Angioedema is a type of allergic drug reaction manifested by the collection of nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
fluid in the subcutaneous tissues, most commonly affecting the eyelids, lips, mouth, and
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
throat. Allergic reactions can be manifested by a wide range of signs and symptoms such as
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
itching, rashes, and hives. Anaphylactic shock is a serious allergic reaction that requires
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
immediate medical attention. Drug idiosyncrasydescribes any unusual or abnormalreaction to
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
a drug, one that is different from the one normally expected.

4. The nursing attendant is preparing to teach a hospital client about a new drug which is in the
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
fourth phase of development. Which activity will the nursing attendant explain best
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
illustrates this phase?
nb nb nb
A) Primary health care providers report adverse effects to FDA. nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
B) Healthy volunteers are involved in the test. nb nb nb nb nb nb
C) In vitro tests are performed using human cells.
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
D) The drug is given to hospital clients with the disease.
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
ACCURATE CHOICE:-A nb
, Reasoning:->> The post marketing surveillance phase of drug development encourages nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
primary health care professionals to report adverse effects of drugs to the FDA using MedWatch.
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
Phase 1 of clinical testing involves 20 to 100 healthy volunteers. In vitro testing of the drug on
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
human or animal cells is done in the pre-FDA phase. In Phase 2 of clinical testing, the drug is
nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb nb
given to hospital clients with the disease for which the drug is manufactured.
