6. After completing a course on pharmacology for nurses, what will the nurse
know?
A) Everything necessary for safe and effective medication administration
B) Current pharmacologic therapy; the nurse will not require ongoing
education for 5 years.
C) General drug information; the nurse can consult a drug guide for specific
drug information.
D) The drug actions that are associated with each classification of
medication
Ans: C
Feedback:
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) Adequate studies in pregnant women have demonstrated there is no risk
to the fetus.
B) Animal studies have not demonstrated a risk to the fetus, but there have
been no adequate studies in pregnant women.
C) Animal studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus, but there are
no adequate studies in pregnant women.
D) There is evidence of human fetal risk, but the potential benefits from use
of the drug may be acceptable despite potential risks.
Ans: B

Feedback:
Category B indicates that animal studies have not demonstrated a risk to the
fetus. However, there have not been adequate studies in pregnant women to
demonstrate risk to a fetus during the first trimester of pregnancy and no
evidence of risk in later trimesters. Category A indicates that adequate
studies in pregnant women have not demonstrated a risk to the fetus in the
first trimester or in later trimesters. Category C indicates that animal studies
have shown an adverse effect on the fetus, but no adequate studies in
humans. Category D reveals evidence of human fetal risk, but the potential
benefits from the use of the drugs in pregnant women may outweigh
potential risks.
8. Discharge planning for patients leaving the hospital should include
instructions on the use of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Which comment by
the patient would demonstrate a good understanding of OTC drugs?
A) OTC drugs are safe and do not cause adverse effects if taken properly.
B) OTC drugs have been around for years and have not been tested by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
C) OTC drugs are different from any drugs available by prescription and
cost less.
D) OTC drugs could cause serious harm if not taken according to directions.
Ans: D
Feedback:
It is important to follow package directions because OTCs are medications
that can cause serious harm if not taken properly. OTCs are drugs that have
been determined to be safe when taken as directed; however, all drugs can
produce adverse effects even when taken properly. They may have originally
been prescription drugs that were tested by the FDA or they may have been
grandfathered in when the FDA laws changed. OTC education should
always be included as a part of the hospital discharge instructions.
9. What would be the best source of drug information for a nurse?
A) Drug Facts and Comparisons
B) A nurses drug guide
