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


ffinvolve d with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


of pharm acology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and

ours as needed for pain for a motor vehicle accident victim. The nurse is aware
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


that there is a high abuse potential for this drug; therefore, morphine is

Drugs

A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


B) Monitoring drug effects in patients who are selected to participate in a study, ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


who have the disease that the drug is meant to treat
ff ff ff ff ff f f ff ff ff f f ff


C) Collecting records of symptoms that participants experience while taking a d ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


rug and determining whether they are caused by the disease or the drug Info
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


D) rming healthy, young volunteer participants of possible risks that could
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


occur from taking an experimental drug
ff ff ff ff ff ff


Ans: C
Response:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical market where patients are
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


asked to record any symptoms they experience while taking the drugs. Nurses
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


may be responsible for helping collect and analyze the information to be
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


shared with th e Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Use of animals in
ff ff ff ff f f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


drug testing is done in the preclinical trials. A select group of patients who are
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


involved in phase II studie s participate in studies where the participants have
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


the disease the drug is intended to treat. These patients are monitored closely
ff ff ff ff ff ff f f ff ff ff ff ff ff


for drug effects. Phase I studies invol ve healthy human volunteers who are
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


usually paid for their participation. Nurses m ay observe for adverse effects and
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


toxicity.

4. Which of the following concepts is considered when generic drugs are substituted
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


fff or brand-name drugs?
ff ff ff


A) Bioavailability
B) Critical concentration ff


C) Distribution
D) Half-life
Ans: A
Response:
Bioavailability is the portion of a dose of a drug that reaches the systemic circulati ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


on and is available to act on body cells. Binders used in a generic drug may not
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


be the same as those used in the brand-
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


name drug. Therefore, the way the body breaks down and uses the drug may
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


differ, which may eliminate a substitution. Critical concentration is the amount of
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff f f ff ff


a drug that is needed to cause a therapeutic effect.
f f ff ff ff ff f f ff ff ff ff


Distribution is the phase of pharmacokinetics that involves the movement of a drug
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


to the body's tissues. A drug's half-
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


life is the time it takes for the amount of drug to decrease to one-
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


half of the peak level.
