A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics

Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are in

Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.

A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs

C) Monitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects zf zf zf zf zf zf zf
D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug zf zf zf zf zf zf zf

Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in whic

A) Bioavailability

B) Critical concentration zf
C) Distribution
D) Half-life
Ans: A
Feedback:
Bioavailability is the portion of a dose of a drug that reaches the systemic c zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf
irculation and is available to act on body cells. Binders used in a generic dr
zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf
ug may not be the same as those used in the brand name drug. Therefore, th
zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf
e way the body breaks down and uses the drug may differ, which may elimi
zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf

A nurse is assessing the patients home medication use. After listening to
zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf
thepatient list current medications, the nurse asks what priority question?
fz zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf
A) Do you take any generic medications?
zf zf zf zf zf
B) Are any of these medications orphan drugs?
zf zf zf zf zf zf
C) Are these medications safe to take during pregnancy?
zf zf zf zf zf zf zf
D) Do you take any over-the-counter medications?
zf zf zf zf zf
Ans: D
Feedback:
It is important for the nurse to specifically question use of over-the-
zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf
counter medications because patients may not consider them important. The
zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf zf
patient is unlikely to know the meaning of orphan drugs unless they too ar
