4. The physician has written an order for a drug with which the nurse is unfamiliar. Which section of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



the Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR) is most helpful to get information about this drug?

index in the PDR would make this section the most user-friendly. Based on a physician‘s order,
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



manufacturer‘s information and classification information would not be known. The
k k k k k k k k k k



Manufacturer‘s section is a roster of manufacturers. The product category section lists products
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



subdivided by therapeutic classes, such as analgesics, laxatives, oxytocics, and antibiotics. The
k k k k k k k k k k k k



product information section contains reprints of the package inserts for the major products of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



manufacturers.

6. Which legislation authorizes the FDA to determine the safety of a drug before its marketing?
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k

, a. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (1938) k k k k k k



b. Durham Humphrey Amendment (1952) k k k



c. Controlled Substances Act (1970) k k k



d. Kefauver Harris Drug Amendment (1962) k k k k




ANS: A k



The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 authorized the FDA to determine the safety of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



all drugs before marketing. Later amendments and acts helped tighten FDA control and ensure drug
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



safety. The Durham Humphrey Amendment defines the kinds of drugs that cannot be used safely
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



without medical supervision and restricts their sale to prescription by a licensed practitioner. The
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



Controlled Substances Act addresses only controlled substances and their categorization. The
k k k k k k k k k k k



Kefauver Harris Drug Amendment ensures drug efficacy and greater drug safety. Drug
k k k k k k k k k k k k



manufacturers are required to prove to the FDA the effectiveness of their products before
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



marketing them.
