c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


best describes the actions of all three nurses?
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7




A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


involved with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


of pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


diagnose disease.The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help diagnose
c7 c7 7c c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


a disease. The oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a disease.
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body and pharmacokinetics is
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


how the body acts on the body.

2. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


narcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


accident victim. The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


potential. Under whatcategory would morphine be classified?
c7 c7 c7 7c c7 c7 c7 c7




A) Schedule I c7




B) Schedule II c7




C) Schedule III c7




D) Schedule IV c7




ANSWER: B

, Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


abuse potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


a lesser abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use.
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


Schedule IV drugs havelow abuse potential and limited dependence
c7 c7 c7 c7 7c c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


liability.

3. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


responsibilitieswould the nurse have?
c7 7c c7 c7 c7




A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7




B) Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug study
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7




C) Monitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7




D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7




ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


whichpatients are asked to record any symptoms they experience
c7 7c c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


while taking thedrugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect
c7 c7 c7 7c c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


and analyze the information to be shared with the Food and Drug
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


Administration (FDA) butwould not conduct research independently
c7 c7 c7 7c c7 c7 c7 c7


because nurses do not prescribe medications. Use of animals in drug
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


testing is done in the preclinical trials. Select patients who are
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


involved in phase II studies to participate in studies where the
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat. These
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


patients are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects.
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


Phase I studies involve healthy human volunteers who are usually paid
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


for their participation. Nurses may observe for adverse effects and
c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7 c7


toxicity.
