1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
computedtomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr r rr
describes the actions of all three nurses?
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease.
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a disease. Pharmacoeconomics
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
includes any costs involved in drug therapy. Pharmacodynamics involves how a
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
drug affects the body and pharmacokinetics is how the body acts on the body.
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
2. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
narcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
victim. The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
what category would morphine be classified?
rr rr rr rr rr rr
A) Schedule I rr
B) Schedule II rr
C) Schedule III rr
D) Schedule IV rr
ANSWER: B
, Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a
rr r r rr rr rr r r rr r r rr rr r r
lesser abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV
r r rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
drugs have low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
3. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what responsibilities
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
would the nurse have?
rr rr rr rr
A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
B) Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug study
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
C) Monitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
which patients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
taking the drugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
analyze the information to be shared with the Food and Drug
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
Administration (FDA) but would not conduct research independently
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
because nurses do not prescribe medications. Use of animals in drug
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
testing is done in the preclinical trials. Select patients who are involved in
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
phase II studies to participate in studies where the participants have the
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
disease the drug is intended to treat. These patients are monitored closely
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I studies involve healthy
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
human volunteers who are usually paid for their participation. Nurses
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
may observe for adverse effects and toxicity.
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
4. What concept is considered when generic drugs are substituted for brand
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
name drugs?
rr rr
A) Bioavailability
B) Critical concentration rr
C) Distribution
D) Half-life
