chapter 1. history of pharmacology




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 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
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
