old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best describes the

actions of all three nurses? dx dx dx bn




A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved with
dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx



clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of pharmacology

hat deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease.The radiology
dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx



nurse is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The oncology nurse is admini

stering a drug to help treat a disease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved
dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx



in drug therapy. Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body and pharma

cokinetics is how the body acts on the body. bn bn dx dx dx dx bn dx

nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under whatcategory wo

uld morphine be classified?
dx dx dx




A) Schedule I d x




B) Schedule II d x




C) Schedule III d x




D) Schedule IV d x




ANSWER: B

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



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



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



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



e potential and limited dependence liability.

When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what responsibiliti e

D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug d x d x dx d x dx dx d x




ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in which
bn dx dx dx bn dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx



patients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while taking the
dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx



drugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and analyze the infor

mation to be shared with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but wou l

d not conduct research independently because nurses do not prescribe med i

cations. Use of animals in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials.

Select patients who are involved in phase II studies to participate in studies
dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx



where the participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat. These
dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx dx



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

tudies involve healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their partici

pation. Nurses may observe for adverse effects and toxicity.
