1.A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan. A nurse working on an oncology unit
administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a
14-month-old child as a routine 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
adisease. 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.

2.A physician has ordered intramuscular injections of morphine, a narcotic, every 4
hours as needed for pain for a motor vehicle accident victim. The nurse is aware
