1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



computedtomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit
zz z zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



14-month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



describes the actions of all three nurses?
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




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



with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



disease.The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease.
zz z zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



The oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a disease.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body and pharmacokinetics is
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



how the body acts on the body.

2. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



narcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



victim. The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



whatcategory would morphine be classified?
zz z zz zz zz zz




A) Schedule I zz




B) Schedule II zz




C) Schedule III zz




D) Schedule IV zz




ANSWER: B

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



because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



havelow abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

3. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



responsibilitieswould the nurse have?
zz z zz zz zz




A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




B) Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug study
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




C) Monitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




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



whichpatients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while
zz z zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



taking thedrugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and
zz zz z zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



analyze the information to be shared with the Food and Drug
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



Administration (FDA) butwould not conduct research independently
zz zz zz z zz zz zz zz



because nurses do not prescribe medications. Use of animals in drug
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



testing is done in the preclinical trials. Select patients who are involved
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



in phase II studies to participate in studies where the participants have
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



the disease the drug is intended to treat. These patients are monitored
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I studies involve
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their participation.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



Nurses may observe for adverse effects and toxicity.
