, Chapter 1. Introduction: The Nature Of Drugs & Drug Development & Regulation
1. A Nurse Working In Radiology Administers Iodine To A Patient Who Is Having A Computed Tomography
(CT) Scan. The Nurse Working On The 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
ANS: B
FEEDBACK:
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 Radiology Nurse Is Administering A Drug To Help
Diagnose A Disease. The Oncology Nurse 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 Body.
2. A Physician Has Ordered Intramuscular (IM) Injections Of Morphine, A Narcotic, Every 4 Hours As Needed
For Pain In A Motor Vehicle Accident Victim. The Nurse Is Aware This Drug Has A High Abuse Potential. Under
What Category Would Morphine Be Classified?
A) Schedule I
B) Schedule II
C) Schedule III
D) Schedule IV ANS: B
FEEDBACK:
Narcotics With A High Abuse Potential Are Classified As Schedule II Drugs Because Of Severe Dependence
Liability. Schedule I Drugs Have High Abuse Potential And No Accepted Medical Use. Schedule III Drugs Have A
Lesser Abuse Potential Than II And An Accepted Medical Use. Schedule IV Drugs Have Low Abuse Potential
And Limited Dependence Liability.
