1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a computed
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



tomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit administers
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health Department, a nurse
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-month-old child as a
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best describes the actions of all
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



three nurses?
xc xc




A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose
xc x c xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



disease.The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a disease. Pharmacoeconomics
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



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



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

2. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a narcotic,
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident victim. The
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under whatcategory
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



would morphine be classified?
xc xc xc xc




A) Schedule I xc




B) Schedule II xc




C) Schedule III xc




D) Schedule IV xc




ANSWER: B

, Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



have low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

3. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



responsibilities would the nurse have?
xc xc xc xc xc




A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




B) Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug studyxc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




C) Monitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in which
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



patients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while taking
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



the drugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and analyze the
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



information to be shared with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



but would not conduct research independently because nurses do not
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



prescribe medications. Use of animals in drug testing is done in the
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



preclinical trials.

Select patients who are involved in phase II studies to participate in studies
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



where the participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



These patients are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



Phase I studies involve healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



their participation. Nurses may observe for adverse effects and toxicity.

4. What concept is considered when generic drugs are substituted
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



for brandname drugs?
xc xc xc




A) Bioavailability
B) Critical concentration xc




C) Distribution
D) Half-life
