involved with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch

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

whatcategory would morphine be classified?

C) Schedule III m




D) Schedule IV m




ANSWER: B

, Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs
m m m m m m m m m m m


because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high
m m m m m m m m m m


abuse potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a
m m m m m m m m m m m m


lesser abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV
m m m m m m m m m m m m


drugs have low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


mwhichpatients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while
m m m m m m m m m m


mtaking the drugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and
