gga gg 14-month-old ggchild gg as gg a ggroutine gg immunization. gg Which ggbranch gg of

ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology ggis gg the gg study gg of ggthe gg biologic gg effects gg of ggchemicals. gg Nurses gg are
gginvolved ggwith g g clinical g g pharmacology gg or g g pharmacotherapeutics, g g which g g is gg a
ggbranch gg of ggpharmacology gg that gg deals gg with gg the gg uses gg of gg drugs gg to gg treat, gg prevent,

2. A ggphysician gg has ggordered ggintramuscular gg (IM) gginjections gg of gg morphine,
gg a ggnarcotic, gg every gg4 gg hours gg as gg needed gg for gg pain gg in gga gg motor gg vehicle
gg accident ggvictim. gg The gg nurse gg is gg aware gg this gg drug gg has gg a g g high gg abuse
g g potential. gg Under gg whatgcategory ggwould ggmorphine ggbe ggclassified?
A) Schedule gg I

D) Schedule ggIV
ANSWER: B

Narcotics ggwith gga gghigh ggabuse gg potential ggare ggclassified ggas ggSchedule ggII
ggdrugs ggbecause gg of gg severe gg dependence ggliability. gg Schedule gg I ggdrugs gg have

C) Monitoring gg and g g observing gg patients g g closely gg for g g adverse g g effects
D) Conducting gg research g g to gg determine g g effectiveness g g of g g the g g drug
ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase gg III gg studies gg involve gg use gg of gg a gg drug ggin gg a gg vast gg clinical
