1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


computedt omography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit

administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a

14-month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


best describes the actions of all three nurses?
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg




A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


involved with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


of pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


diagnose disease. The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help diagnose a
fg fg gf fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


disease. The oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a disease.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body and pharmacokinetics is
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


how the body acts on the body.

2. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


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.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


Under whatcategory would morphine be classified?

A) Schedule I fg




B) Schedule II fg




C) Schedule III fg




D) Schedule IV fg




ANSWER: B

, Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


abuse potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


a lesser abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


IV drugs havel ow abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

3. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what

responsibilitieswould the nurse have?

A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs

B) Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug study

C) Monitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects

D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg




ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


whichpatients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while
fg gf fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


taking thedrugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and
fg fg gf fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


analyze the information to be shared with the Food and Drug
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


Administration (FDA) but would not conduct research independently
fg fg fg gf fg fg fg fg


because nurses do not prescribe medications. Use of animals in drug
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


testing is done in the preclinical trials. Select patients who are
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


involved in phase II studies to participate in studies where the
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat. These
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


patients are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects.
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


Phase I studies involve healthy human volunteers who are usually paid
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


for their participation. Nurses may observe for adverse effects and
fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg fg


toxicity.
