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)
B)
C)
D)
Ans:
Pharmacoeconomics
Pharmacotherapeutics
Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacokinetics
B
Feedback:
Acts On The Body.
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
2.
Have?
A)
B)
C)
When Involved In Phase Iii Drug Evaluation Studies, What Responsibilities Would The Nurse
Working With Animals Who Are Given Experimental Drugs
Choosing Appropriate Patients To Be Involved In The Drug Study
Monitoring And Observing Patients Closely For Adverse Effects
Basic And Clinical Pharmacology 15th Edition
D)
Ans:
Conducting Research To Determine Effectiveness Of The Drug
C
Feedback:
Phase Iii Studies Involve Use Of A Drug In A Vast Clinical Population In Which Patients Are Asked To
Record Any Symptoms They Experience While Taking The Drugs. Nurses May Be Responsible For
Helping Collect And Analyze The Information To Be Shared With The Food And Drug Administration
(Fda) But Would Not Conduct Research Independently Because Nurses Do Not Prescribe
Medications. Use Of Animals In Drug Testing Is Done In The Preclinical Trials. Select Patients Who Are
Involved In Phase Ii Studies To Participate In Studies Where The Participants Have The Disease The
,Drug Is Intended To Treat. These Patients Are Monitored Closely For Drug Action And Adverse Effects.
Phase I Studies Involve Healthy Human Volunteers Who Are Usually Paid For Their Participation.
Nurses May Observe For Adverse Effects And Toxicity.
3.
A)
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?
Schedule I
B)
C)
D)
Ans:
Schedule Ii
Schedule Iii
Schedule Iv
B
Feedback:
Basic And Clinical Pharmacology 15th Edition
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.
4.
A)
B)
C)
D)
Ans:
What Concept Is Considered When Generic Drugs Are Substituted For Brand Name Drugs?
Bioavailability
Critical Concentration
Distribution
Half-Life
A
Feedback:
Bioavailability Is The Portion Of A Dose Of A Drug That Reaches The Systemic Circulation And Is
Available To Act On Body Cells. Binders Used In A Generic Drug May Not Be The Same As Those Used In
The Brand Name Drug. Therefore, The Way The Body Breaks Down And Uses The Drug May Differ,
Which May Eliminate A Generic Drug Substitution. Critical Concentration Is The Amount Of A Drug
That Is Needed To Cause A Therapeutic Effect And Should Not Differ Between Generic And Brand
Name Medications. Distribution Is The Phase Of Pharmacokinetics, Which Involves The Movement
Of A Drug To The Bodys Tissues And Is The Same In Generic And Brand Name Drugs. A Drugs Half-Life Is
The Time It Takes For The Amount Of Drug To Decrease To Half The Peak Level, Which Should Not
Change When Substituting A Generic Medication.
5.
A Nurse Is Assessing The Patients Home Medication Use. After Listening To The Patient List
Current Medications, The Nurse Asks What Priority Question?
, A)
B)
C)
Do You Take Any Generic Medications?
Are Any Of These Medications Orphan Drugs?
Are These Medications Safe To Take During Pregnancy?
Basic And Clinical Pharmacology 15th Edition
D)
Ans:
Do You Take Any Over-The-Counter Medications?
D
Feedback:
It Is Important For The Nurse To Specifically Question Use Of Over-The-Counter Medications Because
Patients May Not Consider Them Important. The Patient Is Unlikely To Know The Meaning Of
Orphan Drugs Unless They Too Are Health Care Providers. Safety During Pregnancy, Use Of A Generic
Medication, Or Classification Of Orphan Drugs Are Things The Patient Would Be Unable To Answer
But Could Be Found In Reference Books If The Nurse Wishes To Research Them.
6.
A)
B)
C)
After Completing A Course On Pharmacology For Nurses, What Will The Nurse Know?
Everything Necessary For Safe And Effective Medication Administration
Information.
D)
Ans:
C
Feedback:
Current Pharmacologic Therapy; The Nurse Will Not Require Ongoing Education For 5 Years.
General Drug Information; The Nurse Can Consult A Drug Guide For Specific Drug
The Drug Actions That Are Associated With Each Classification Of Medication
After Completing A Pharmacology Course Nurses Will Have General Drug Information Needed For
Safe And Effective Medication Administration But Will Need To Consult A Drug Guide For Specific Drug
Information Before Administering Any Medication. Pharmacology Is Constantly Changing, With New
Drugs Entering The Market And New Uses For Existing Drugs Identified.
Continuing Education In Pharmacology Is Essential To Safe Practice. Nurses Tend To Become
Familiar With The Medications They Administer Most Often, But There Will Always Be A Need To
Research New Drugs And Also Those The Nurse Is Not Familiar With Because No Nurse Knows All
Medications.

7.
A Nurse Is Instructing A Pregnant Patient Concerning The Potential Risk To Her Fetus From A
Pregnancy Category B Drug. What Would The Nurse Inform The Patient?
A)
B)
Adequate Studies In Pregnant Women Have Demonstrated There Is No Risk To The Fetus.
Animal Studies Have Not Demonstrated A Risk To The Fetus, But There Have Been No
Adequate Studies In Pregnant Women.
