1. Afterteaching a group of learners aboutthebasics ofpharmacology, the learners will be able to
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



choose which aspect as the most critical to remember?
g g g g g g g g g



A) Drug name g




B) Drug class g




C) Drug action g




D) Drug source g




ACCURATE CHOICE:-C g




Reasoning :->> Pharmacology is the study of drugs and its action on living organisms. Thus,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



an essential aspect of pharmacology is drug action. An understanding of the drug name, drug
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



class, and drug source is important, but the most critical aspect related to pharmacology is
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



how the drug acts in the body.

2. A nursing attendant suspects the hospital client had an adverse reaction to a prescribed
g g g g g g g g g g g g g



medication due to an interaction with an unreported over-the-counter supplement.
g g g g g g g g g g



Which action by the nursing attendant will best assist in preventing future similar
g g g g g g g g g g g g g



incidents?
g



A) File a report with MedWatch g g g g




B) File a report with the State Board of Nursing
g g g g g g g g




C) Instruct the hospital client to avoid combining medications in the future
g g g g g g g g g g




D) Document the incident and report it to the primary health care provider g g g g g g g g g g g




ACCURATE CHOICE:-A g




Reasoning :->> Professional nurses play an important role in monitoring for adverse
g g g g g g g g g g g



reactions. Therefore, it is important to submit reports, even if there is uncertainty about the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



cause–effect relationship. The FDA protects the identity of those who voluntarily report
g g g g g g g g g g g g



adverse reactions.

3. A nursing attendant is assessing a hospital client and notes the hospital client has developed
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



swelling of the eyelids and lips after administration of a prescribed medication. What does
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



the nursing attendant interpret this finding to specifically indicate?
g g g g g g g g g



A) Mild allergic reaction g g




B) Anaphylactic shock g




C) Angioedema
D) Drug idiosyncrasy g




ACCURATE CHOICE:-C g




Reasoning:->> Angioedema is a type of allergic drug reaction manifested by the collection of
g g g g g g g g g g g g g



fluid in the subcutaneous tissues, most commonly affecting the eyelids, lips, mouth, and throat.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



Allergic reactions can be manifested by a wide range of signs and symptoms such as itching,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



rashes, and hives. Anaphylactic shock is a serious allergic reaction that requires immediate
g g g g g g g g g g g g g



medical attention. Drug idiosyncrasy describes any unusual or abnormal reaction to a drug, one
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



that is different from the one normally expected.

4. The nursing attendant is preparing to teach a hospital client about a new drug which is in the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



fourth phase of development. Which activity will the nursing attendant explain best
g g g g g g g g g g g g



illustrates this phase?
g g g



A) Primary health care providers report adverse effects to FDA. g g g g g g g g




B) Healthy volunteers are involved in the test. g g g g g g




C) In vitro tests are performed using human cells.
g g g g g g g




D) The drug is given to hospital clients with the disease.
g g g g g g g g g




ACCURATE CHOICE:-A g

, Reasoning:->> The post marketing surveillance phase of drug development encourages g g g g g g g g g



primary health care professionals to report adverse effects of drugs to the FDA using MedWatch.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



Phase 1 of clinical testing involves 20 to 100 healthy volunteers. In vitro testing of the drug on
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



human or animal cells is done in the pre-FDA phase. In Phase 2 of clinical testing, the drug is
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



given to hospital clients with the disease for which the drug is manufactured.

mothers using addictive drugs are often born with an addiction to the drug. Children born to
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



mothers who are addicted to cocaine are not known to be born with diabetes, CNS defects,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



or hypertension.
