Chapter 1. Introduction: The Nature of Drugs & Drug Development & Regulation

1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




computed tomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




a 14-month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




pharmacology best describes the actions of all three nurses?
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 6 7




A) Pharmacoeconomics

B) Pharmacotherapeutics

C) Pharmacodynamics

D) Pharmacokinetics

ANSWER: B

Feedback:

Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




involved with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




branch of pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent,
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




and diagnose disease. The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




diagnose a disease. The oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




disease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 6 7




Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body and 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




pharmacokinetics is how the body acts on the body.
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




2. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




narcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident victim.
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under what category
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67




would morphine be classified?
67 67 67 67




A) Schedule I 67




B) Schedule II 67
