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.
