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
