MULTIPLE CHOICE VV




1. The nurse is teaching a patient how a medication works to treat an illness. To do this, the
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



nurse will rely on knowledge of: a. clinical pharmacology.
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV




b. drug efficacy. VV



c. pharmacokinetics.
d. pharmacotherapeutics.



ANS: D VV



Pharmacotherapeutics is the study of the use of drugs to diagnose, treat, and prevent VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



conditions. Clinical pharmacology is concerned with all aspects of drug–human
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



interactions. Drug efficacy measures the extent to which a given drug causes an
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



intended effect.
VV VV



Pharmacokinetics is the study of the impact of the body on a drug. VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV

2. What does it mean when a drug is described as easy to administer?
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV




a. It can be stored indefinitely without need for refrigeration.
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV




b. It does not interact significantly with other medications.
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



c. It enhances patient adherence to the drug regimen.
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV




d. It is usually relatively inexpensive to produce.
VV VV VV VV VV VV




ANS: C VV



A major benefit of drugs that are easy to administer is that patients taking them are
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



more likely to comply with the drug regimen. Drugs that are easy to give may have
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



the other attributes listed, but those properties are independent of ease of
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



administration.

3. A patient tells the nurse that he was told by the prescriber that the analgesic he is taking
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



is very effective. Which statement by the patient demonstrates an understanding of the
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



drug’s effectiveness?
VV VV




a. “I don’t have to worry about toxicity, since it takes a large amount of this drug to
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



cause an overdose.”
VV VV VV

, b. “It has no side effects and doesn’t interact with other drugs.”
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



c. “I only have to take it every 12 hours.”
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV




d. “It might make me sleepy, and it lessens pain for several hours at a time.”
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV




ANS: D VV



A drug is effective if it produces the intended effects, even if it also produces side
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



effects. Because no drug is completely safe, the level of toxicity does not determine
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



effectiveness. All drugs have side effects and many react with other substances; these
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



do not affect the drug’s effectiveness. Ease of administration is independent of a drug’s
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



effectiveness.

MULTIPLE RESPONSE VV




1. What VV are the properties of an ideal drug? (Select all that apply.)
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV




a. Irreversible action VV




b. Predictability
c. Ease of administrationVV VV




d. Chemical stability VV




e. A simple trade name
VV VV VV




ANS: B, C, D VV VV VV



In addition to predictability, ease of administration, and chemical stability, other
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



properties include a reversible action so that any harm the drug may cause can be
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



undone and a simple generic name, because generic names are usually complex and
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



difficult to remember and pronounce.

2. Before administering a medication, what does the nurse need to know to evaluate how
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



individual patient variability might affect the patient’s response to the medication? (Select
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



all that apply.)
VV VV VV




a. Chemical stability of the medication VV VV VV VV



b. Ease of administration VV VV




c. Family medical history VV VV




d. Patient’s age VV




e. Patient’s diagnosis VV

, ANS: C, D, E VV VV VV




The family medical history can indicate genetic factors that may affect a patient’s
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



response to a medication. Patients of different ages can respond differently to
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



medications. The patient’s illness can affect how drugs are metabolized. The chemical
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



stability of the medication and the ease of administration are properties of drugs.

MULTIPLE CHOICE VV




1. A patient is using a metered-dose inhaler containing albuterol for asthma. The
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



medication label instructs the patient to administer “2 puffs every 4 hours as needed
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



for coughing or
VV VV VV



wheezing.” The patient reports feeling jittery sometimes when taking the medication, and she
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



doesn’t feel that the medication is always effective. Which is not an appropriate nursing
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



intervention for this patient?
VV VV VV VV




a. Asking the patient to demonstrate use of the inhaler
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



b. Assessing the patient’s exposure to tobacco smoke VV VV VV VV VV VV




c. Auscultating lung sounds and obtaining vital signs VV VV VV VV VV VV




d. Suggesting that the patient use one puff to reduce side effects
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV




ANS: D VV




It is not within the nurse’s scope of practice to change the dose of a medication without
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



an order from a prescriber. Asking the patient to demonstrate inhaler use helps the
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



nurse to
VV VV



evaluate the patient’s ability to administer the medication properly and is part of the nurse’s
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



evaluation. Assessing tobacco smoke exposure helps the nurse determine whether nondrug
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



therapies, such a smoke avoidance, can be used as an adjunct to drug therapy. Performing a
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



physical assessment helps the nurse evaluate the patient’s response to the medication.

2. A postoperative patient is being discharged home with acetaminophen/hydrocodone
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



(Lortab) for pain. The patient asks the nurse about using Tylenol for fever. Which
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



statement by the nurse is correct?
VV VV VV VV VV VV



a. “It is not safe to take over-the-counter drugs with prescription medications.”
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV



b. “Taking the two medications together poses a risk of drug toxicity.”
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV




c. “There are no known drug interactions, so this will be safe.”
VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV VV




d. “Tylenol and Lortab are different drugs, so there is no risk of overdose.”
