Chapter 01 - Introduction to Drugs
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?
Pharmacoeconomics Pharmacotherapeutics Pharmacodynamics Pharmacokinetics
CORRECT ANSWER: 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.
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?
Schedule I Schedule II Schedule III Schedule IV
CORRECT ANSWER: 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.
When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what responsibilities would the nurse have? Working
with animals who are given experimental drugs
Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug study Monitoring and observing patients closely
for adverse effects Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug CORRECT ANSWER: 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
