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



pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of pharmacology that deals with the uses of
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease. The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



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



Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy. Pharmacodynamics involves how a iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



drug affects the body and pharmacokinetics is how the body acts on the body.

liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III

drugs have a lesser abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs have

low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

Feedback:


Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in which patients are asked to
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



record any symptoms they experience while taking the drugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



collect and analyze the information to be shared with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



would not conduct research independently because nurses do not prescribe medications. Use of
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



animals in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials. Select patients who are involved in phase II
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



studies to participate in studies where the participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat.
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



These patients are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I studies involve
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their participation. Nurses may observe for
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



adverse effects and toxicity.

What concept is considered when generic drugs are substituted for brand name drugs?
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy




iy Bioavailability


Critical concentration iy




iy Distribution


Half-life


i y Ans: A


Feedback:


Bioavailability is the portion of a dose of a drug that reaches the systemic circulation and is available
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



to act on body cells. Binders used in a generic drug may not be the same as those used in the brand
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



name drug. Therefore, the way the body breaks down and uses the drug may differ, which may
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



eliminate a generic drug substitution. Critical concentration is the amount of a drug that is needed to
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



cause a therapeutic effect and should not differ between generic and brand name medications.
iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy iy



Distribution is the phase of pharmacokinetics, which involves the movement of a drug to the body’s

tissues and is the
