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
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
ANS: 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 what category
would morphine be classified?
a) schedule i
b) schedule ii
