MULTIPLE CHOICE
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
ANS: 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 Treata 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
ANS: B
Feedback:
Narcotics With A High Abuse Potential Are Classified As Schedule II Drugs Because Of
Severe Dependence Liability. Schedule I Drugs Have High 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.
3. When Involved In Phase III Drug Evaluation Studies, What Responsibilities Would
The Nurse Have?
A) Working With Animals Who Are Given Experimental Drugs
B) Choosing Appropriate Patients To Be Involved In The Drug Study
C) Monitoring And Observing Patients Closely For Adverse Effects
D) Conducting Research To Determine Effectiveness Of The Drug
ANS: 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 Involved In
Phase II Studies To Participate In Studies Where The 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 For Their Participation. Nurses May Observe For Adverse Effects And Toxicity.
4. What Concept Is Considered When Generic Drugs Are Substituted For Brand Name
Drugs?
A) Bioavailability
B) Critical Concentration
C) Distribution
D) Half-Life
ANS: A
Feedback:
Bioavailability Is The Portion Of A Dose Of A Drug That Reaches The Systemic
Circulation And Is Available To Act On Body Cells. Binders Used In A Generic Drug
May Not Be The Same As Those Used In The Brand Name Drug. Therefore, The Way
The Body Breaks Down And Uses The Drug May Differ, Which May Eliminate A
Generic Drug Substitution. Critical Concentration Is The Amount Of A Drug That Is
Needed To Cause A Therapeutic Effect And Should Not Differ Between Generic And
Brand Name Medications. Distribution Is The Phase Of Pharmacokinetics, Which
Involves The Movement Of A Drug To The Bodys Tissues And Is The Same In Generic
And Brand Name Drugs. A Drugs Half-Life Is The Time It Takes For The Amount Of
Drug To Decrease To Half The Peak Level, Which Should Not Change When
Substituting A Generic Medication.
5. A Nurse Is Assessing The Patients Home Medication Use. After Listening To The
Patient List Current Medications, The Nurse Asks What Priority Question?
A) Do You Take Any Generic Medications?
B) Are Any Of These Medications Orphan Drugs?
C) Are These Medications Safe To Take During Pregnancy?
D) Do You Take Any Over-The-Counter Medications?
,ANS: D
Feedback:
It Is Important For The Nurse To Specifically Question Use Of Over-The-Counter
Medications Because Patients May Not Consider Them Important. The Patient Is
Unlikely To Know The Meaning Of Orphan Drugs Unless They Too Are Health Care
Providers. Safety During Pregnancy, Use Of A Generic Medication, Or Classification Of
Orphan Drugs Are Things The Patient Would Be Unable To Answer But Could Be
Found In Reference Books If The Nurse Wishes To Research Them.
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).
