Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved b b b b b b b b b b b b




bwith clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of

bpharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose b b b b b b b b b b b b




disease. The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a disease. Pharmacoeconomics
b b b b b b b b b b b b




includes any costs involved in drug therapy. Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug

bcategory would morphine be classified? b b b b




A) Schedule I b




B) Schedule II b




C) Schedule III b




D) Schedule IV b




ANSWER: B

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




because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
b b b b b b b b b b b




potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser
b b b b b b b b b b b b




abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs have

low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

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




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




bpatients 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
