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


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.

victim. The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under

what category would morphine be classified?

A) Schedule I nn




B) Schedule II nn




C) Schedule III nn




D) Schedule IV nn




ANSWER: B

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


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


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.

D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug

ANSWER: 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

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
