1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a hospital client who
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
is having a computed tomography (CT) scan. The nursing attendant
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
working on the oncology unit administers chemotherapy to hospital
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
clients who have cancer. At the Public Health Department, a nursing
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
attendant administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of

Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nursing 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
attendants are involved with clinical pharmacology or
01 01 01 01 01 01 01
pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of pharmacology that deals with
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
the uses of drugs to treat,prevent, and diagnose disease. The radiology
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
nursing attendant is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
oncology nursing attendant is administering a drug to help treat a disease.
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body and 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
pharmacokinetics is how the body acts on the body. 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
2. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies,
01 01 01 01 01 01 01
whatresponsibilities would the nursing attendant have?
01 01 01 01 01 01 01
A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs
01 01 01 01 01 01 01
B) Choosing appropriate hospital clients to be involved in the drug study
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 0 1
C) Monitoring and observing hospital clients closely for adverse effects
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
,ACCURATE CHOICE:- 01 C
Reasoning:->>>>>>
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
whichhospital clients are asked to record any symptoms they experience
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
while taking the drugs. Nursing attendants may be responsible for helping
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
collect and analyzethe information to be shared with the Food and Drug
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
Administration (FDA)but would not conduct research independently
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
because nursing attendants donot prescribe medications. Use of animals
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials. Select hospital clients
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
who are involved in phase II studies to participate in studies where the
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat. These hospital
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
clients are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
studies involve healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
participation. Nursing attendants may observe for
01 01 01 01 01 01
adverse effects and toxicity. 01 01 01
3. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
narcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
victim.The nursing attendant is aware this drug has a high abuse
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
potential. Under what category would morphine be classified?
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
A) Schedule I 01
B) Schedule II 01
C) Schedule III 01
D) Schedule IV 01
ACCURATE CHOICE:- 01 B
Reasoning:->>>>>>
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
havelow abuse potential and limited dependence liability.
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
4. What concept is considered when generic drugs are substituted for
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
brandname drugs?
01 01 01
A) Bioavailability
, Page 5 of 822 01 01 01
B) Critical concentration 01
C) Distribution
D) Half-life
ACCURATE CHOICE:-A 01
Reasoning:->>>>>>
Bioavailability is the portion of a dose of a drug that reaches the 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
systemic circulation and is available to act on body cells. Binders used
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
in a generic drug may not be the same as those used in the brand name
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
drug. Therefore, the way the body breaks down and uses the drug may
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
differ, which may eliminate a generic drug substitution. Critical
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
concentration is the amount ofa drug that is needed to cause a therapeutic
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
effect and should not differ between generic and brand name
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
medications. Distribution is the phase of pharmacokinetics, which
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
involves the movement of a drug to the bodys tissues and is the same in
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
generic and brand name drugs. A drugs half-life isthe time it takes for
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
the amount of drug to decrease to half the peak level, which should not
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
change when substituting a generic medication.

5. A nursing attendant is assessing the hospital clients home medication use. After
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
listening to the hospital client list current medications, the nursing
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
attendant askswhat priority question?
01 01 01 01 01
A) Do you take any generic medications?
01 01 01 01 01
B) Are any of these medications orphan drugs?
01 01 01 01 01 01
C) Are these medications safe to take during pregnancy?
01 01 01 01 01 01 01
D) Do you take any over-the-counter medications?
01 01 01 01 01
ACCURATE CHOICE:- 01 D
Reasoning:->>>>>>
It is important for the nursing attendant to specifically question use of
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
over- the-counter medications because hospital clients may not consider
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
them important. The hospital client is unlikely to know the meaning of
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
orphan drugs unless they too are primary health care providers. Safety
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
during pregnancy, use of a genericmedication, or classification of orphan
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
drugs are things the hospital client would be unable to answer but could
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
be found in reference books if the nursing attendant wishes to research
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
them.
