Edition Watkins Test Bank
1. A Nurse Working In Radiology Administers Iodine To a Patient Who Is Having a
Computed Tomography (Ct) Scan. The Nurse Working On The Oncology Unit
Administers Chemotherapy To Patients Who Have Cancer. At The Public Health
Department, a Nurse Administers a Measles-Mumps-Rubella (Mmr) Vaccine To a 14-
Month-Old Child As a Routine Immunization. Which Branch Of Pharmacology Best
Describes The Actions Of All Three Nurses?
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
Answer: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology Is The Study Of The Biologic Effects Of Chemicals. Nurses Are Involved
With Clinical Pharmacology Or Pharmacotherapeutics, Which Is a Branch Of
Pharmacology That Deals With The Uses Of Drugs To Treat, Prevent, And Diagnose
Disease.The Radiology Nurse Is Administering a Drug To Help Diagnose a Disease.
The Oncology Nurse Is Administering a Drug To Help Treat a Disease.
Pharmacoeconomics Includes Any Costs Involved In Drug Therapy.
Pharmacodynamics Involves How a Drug Affects The Body And Pharmacokinetics Is
How The Body Acts On The Body.
2. A Physician Has Ordered Intramuscular (Im) Injections Of Morphine, a
Narcotic, Every 4 Hours As Needed For Pain In a Motor Vehicle Accident
Victim. The Nurse Is Aware This Drug Has a High Abuse Potential. Under
Whatcategory Would Morphine Be Classified?
A) Schedule I
B) Schedule Ii
C) Schedule Iii
D) Schedule Iv
Answer: B
, Feedback:
Narcotics With a High Abuse Potential Are Classified As Schedule Ii Drugs
Because Of Severe Dependence Liability. Schedule I Drugs Have High Abuse
Potential And No Accepted Medical Use. Schedule Iii Drugs Have a Lesser
Abuse Potential Than Ii And An Accepted Medical Use. Schedule Iv Drugs
Have Low Abuse Potential And Limited Dependence Liability.
3. When Involved In Phase Iii Drug Evaluation Studies, What
Responsibilities Would The Nurse Have?
A) Working With Animals Who Are Given Experimental Drugs
B) Choosing Appropriate Patients To Be Involved In The Drug Study
C) Monitoring And Observing Patients Closely For Adverse Effects
D) Conducting Research To Determine Effectiveness Of The Drug
Answer: C
Feedback:
Phase Iii Studies Involve Use Of a Drug In a Vast Clinical Population In
Which Patients Are Asked To Record Any Symptoms They Experience
While Taking The Drugs. Nurses May Be Responsible For Helping Collect
And Analyze The Information To Be Shared With The Food And Drug
Administration (Fda) But Would Not Conduct Research Independently
Because Nurses Do Not Prescribe Medications. Use Of Animals In Drug
Testing Is Done In The Preclinical Trials.
Select Patients Who Are Involved In Phase Ii Studies To Participate In
Studies Where The Participants Have The Disease The Drug Is Intended To
Treat. These Patients Are Monitored Closely For Drug Action And Adverse
Effects. Phase I Studies Involve Healthy Human Volunteers Who Are Usually
Paid For Their Participation. Nurses May Observe For Adverse Effects
And Toxicity.
4. What Concept Is Considered When Generic Drugs Are Substituted
For Brandname Drugs?
A) Bioavailability
B) Critical Concentration
C) Distribution
D) Half-Life
