1.A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan. A nurse working on an oncology unit
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
describes the actions of all three nurses?
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
Ans: B
Response:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
disease. The nurse working in radiology is administering a drug to help diagnose a
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
disease. The nurse working on an oncology unit is administering a drug to help treat a
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
disease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body, and pharmacokinetics is pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
how the body acts on the drug.

2.A physician has ordered intramuscular injections of morphine, a narcotic, every 4
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
hours as needed for pain for a motor vehicle accident victim. The nurse is aware that
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
there is a high abuse potential for this drug; therefore, morphine is categorized as a:
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
A) Schedule I drug pw pw
B) Schedule II drug pw pw
C) Schedule III drug pw pw
D) Schedule IV drug pw pw
Ans: B
Response:
Narcotics such as morphine are considered schedule II drugs because of the high
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
abuse potential with severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser abuse
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
potential than schedule II drugs and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs have
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

3.A nurse working for a drug company is involved in phase III drug evaluation studies.
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
Which of the following might the nurse be responsible for during this stage of drug
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
development?
pw
, Chapter 1: Introduction to Drugs pw pw pw pw
A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
B) Monitoring drug effects in patients who are selected to participate in a study, pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
who have the disease that the drug is meant to treat
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
C) Collecting records of symptoms that participants experience while taking a pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
drug and determining whether they are caused by the disease or the drug
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
D) Informing healthy, young volunteer participants of possible risks that could pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
occur from taking an experimental drug
pw pw pw pw pw pw
Ans: C
Response:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical market where patients are
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
asked to record any symptoms they experience while taking the drugs. Nurses may be
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
responsible for helping collect and analyze the information to be shared with the
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Use of animals in drug testing is done in the
p w pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
preclinical trials. A select group of patients who are involved in phase II studies
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
participate in studies where the participants have the disease the drug is intended to
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
treat. These patients are monitored closely for drug effects. Phase I studies involve
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their participation. Nurses may
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
observe for adverse effects and toxicity.

4. Which of the following concepts is considered when generic drugs are substituted for
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
brand-name drugs?
pw pw
A) Bioavailability
B) Critical concentration pw
C) Distribution
D) Half-life
Ans: A
Response:
Bioavailability is the portion of a dose of a drug that reaches the systemic circulation pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
and is available to act on body cells. Binders used in a generic drug may not be the
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
same as those used in the brand-name drug. Therefore, the way the body breaks down
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
and uses the drug may differ, which may eliminate a substitution. Critical
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
concentration is the amount of a drug that is needed to cause a therapeutic effect.
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
Distribution is the phase of pharmacokinetics that involves the movement of a drug to
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
the body's tissues. A drug's half-life is the time it takes for the amount of drug to
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
decrease to one-half of the peak level.

pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw

A) ―OTC drugs are products that are available without prescription for self-
pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw pw
treatment of minor complaints.‖
pw pw pw pw
B) ―OTC drugs are considered medications and should be reported on a drug
