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
Correct Answer: 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
Correct Answer: B
Ar
