,Chapter 01: General Principles of Pharmacology
1. After teaching a group of students about the basics of pharmacology, the students will be able to
choose which aspect as the most critical to remember?
A) Drug name
B) Drug class
C) Drug action
D) Drug source
ANSWER:C
Rationale: Pharmacology is the study of drugs and its action on living organisms. Thus, an essential
aspect of pharmacology is drug action. An understanding of the drug name, drug class, and drug source
is important, but the most critical aspect related to pharmacology is how the drug acts in the body.

2. A nurse suspects the client had an adverse reaction to a prescribed medication due to an interaction
with an unreported over-the-counter supplement. Which action by the nurse will best assist in
preventing future similar incidents?
A) File a report with MedWatch
B) File a report with the State Board of Nursing
C) Instruct the client to avoid combining medications in the future
D) Document the incident and report it to the health care provider
,ANSWER:A
Rationale: Nurses play an important role in monitoring for adverse reactions. Therefore, it is important
to submit reports, even if there is uncertainty about the cause–effect relationship. The FDA protects the
identity of those who voluntarily report adverse reactions. Question Format: Multiple Choice

MedWatch and Reporting Adverse Events
3. A nurse is assessing a client and notes the client has developed swelling of the eyelids and lips after
administration of a prescribed medication. What does the nurse interpret this finding to specifically
indicate?
A) Mild allergic reaction
B) Anaphylactic shock
C) Angioedema
D) Drug idiosyncrasy
ANSWER:C
Rationale: Angioedema is a type of allergic drug reaction manifested by the collection of fluid in the
subcutaneous tissues, most commonly affecting the eyelids, lips, mouth, and throat. Allergic reactions
can be manifested by a wide range of signs and symptoms such as itching, rashes, and hives.
Anaphylactic shock is a serious allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention. Drug
idiosyncrasy describes any unusual or abnormal reaction to a drug, one that is different from the one
normally expected.

4. The nurse is preparing to teach a client about a new drug which is in the fourth phase of
development. Which activity will the nurse explain best illustrates this phase? A) Health care providers
report adverse effects to FDA.
B) Healthy volunteers are involved in the test.
C) In vitro tests are performed using human cells.
D) The drug is given to clients with the disease.
ANSWER:A

Rationale: The postmarketing surveillance phase of drug development encourages health care
professionals to report adverse effects of drugs to the FDA using MedWatch. Phase 1 of clinical testing
involves 20 to 100 healthy volunteers. In vitro testing of the drug on human or animal cells is done in the
pre-FDA phase. In Phase 2 of clinical testing, the drug is given to clients with the disease for which the
drug is manufactured.
