r r r r r r r r r r


drugs under the direction ofa pharmacist?

dispensing them. The licensed nurse has the primary responsibility for administering drugs,
r r r r r r r r r r r r


although under some circumstances a licensed nurse maydispense prescribed drugs but this isnot
r r r r r r r r r r r r r


his or her major responsibility in drug therapy. The pharmacy technician has the major
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


responsibility ofdispensing prescribed drugs under the direction ofa licensed pharmacist.

r r r r r r r r r r r


a. Generic name r


b Chemicalname

to the drug by the U.S. Adopted Names Council and is not owned by anyone. The category name
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


refers to the type ofdrug (what it does or what it is used for) and is not an actual drug name. The
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


trade name (brand name) is the name provided and owned by a specific drug’s manufacturer.

patient, or not given to the correct patient. Drugs classified as high alert drugs include potassium,
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


narcotics (opioids), insulin, cancer chemotherapy drugs, and heparin (or any drug that strongly
r r r r r r r r r r r r r


affects blood clotting). Penicillin, NSAIDs, and calcium are not considered high alert drugs.

hormone or enzyme?
r r r


a. Agonist

.
c. Chemical
d Duplicator
.


ANS: A r


A drug agonist is an extrinsic drug that activates the receptor sites ofa cell and mimics the actions
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


ofnaturallyoccurring bodysubstances (intrinsic drugs). A blocking agent is a drug
r r r r r r r r f r r r r

, antagonist. A chemical would not necessarily be a drug at all. A duplicator is not a pharmacologic
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


term.

6. Whichterm describes how the body affects druga ctivity?
r f r r r r r


a. Drug potency r


b Pharmacodynamics
.
c. Therapeutic effect r




d Pharmacokinetics
.


ANS: D r


The term pharmacokinetics refers to drug metabolism and how the body changes a drug.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r


Pharmacodynamics refers to how a drug works to change body function. Drug potencyrefers to
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


how strongly or to what degree a drug exerts its effects. The therapeutic effect is closer to
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


pharmacodynamics, meaning how a drug works to change body function.
