Chapter 1: Introduction to Drugs
Cognitive Level: Application Difficulty:
Moderate
Integrated Process: Nursing process
1.A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan. A nurse working on an oncology unit
administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-
month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best
describes the actions of all three nurses?
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Response:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved with
clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of pharmacology that
deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease. The nurse working
in radiology is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The nurse working on an
oncology unit is administering a drug to help treat a disease. Pharmacoeconomics
includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body, and pharmacokinetics is how
the body acts on the drug.
Cognitive Level: Comprehension
Difficulty: Easy
Integrated Process: Nursing process
2.A physician has ordered intramuscular injections of morphine, a narcotic, every 4 hours
as needed for pain for a motor vehicle accident victim. The nurse is aware that there is a
high abuse potential for this drug; therefore, morphine is categorized as a:
A) Schedule I drug
B) Schedule II drug
