actions of all three nurses? kx kx kx bn

Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved with

B) Schedule II k x




C) Schedule III k x




D) Schedule IV k x




ANSWER: B

, Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs beca

use of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse potenti

al and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser abuse pot

ential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs have low abus

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 infor

tients are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I s tud
