Chapter 1. Introduction: The Nature Of Drugs & Drug Development & Regulation
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
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.
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
