A) Drugname v




B) Drugclass v

ANSWER: C
v v




Feedback:
v




Pharmacology is the study of drugs and their action on living organisms. Thus, an essential v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




aspect of pharmacologyis drug action. An understanding of the drug name,drug class, and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




drug source is important, but the most critical aspect related to pharmacologyis how the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




drug acts in the body.

ANSWER: C, E
v v v




Feedback:
Although the nursing student can ask the nursing instructor, the nurse assigned to the patient,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




and the prescribing health care provider for information about the drug, the bestchoices for

drug information would include an appropriate drug reference and the clinical pharmacist.
