1.A |nurse |working |in |radiology |administers |iodine |to |a |patient |who |is |having |a
computerized |axial |tomography |(CAT) |scan. |A |nurse |working |on |an |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
Response:
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 |nurse |working |in |radiology |is |administering |a |drug |to |help |diagnose |a |disease. |The
|
nurse |working |on |an |oncology |unit |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 |drug.

2.A |physician |has |ordered |intramuscular |injections |of |morphine, |a |narcotic, |every |4
hours |as |needed |for |pain |for |a |motor |vehicle |accident |victim. |The |nurse |is |aware |that
|
there |is |a |high |abuse |potential |for |this |drug; |therefore, |morphine |is |categorized |as |a:
|
A) Schedule |I |drug
B) Schedule |II |drug
C) Schedule |III |drug
D) Schedule |IV |drug
, ANSWER: B
Response:
Narcotics |such |as |morphine |are |considered |schedule |II |drugs |because |of |the |high |abuse
potential |with |severe |dependence |liability. |Schedule |I |drugs |have |high |abuse |potential
|
and |no |accepted |medical |use. |Schedule |III |drugs |have |a |lesser |abuse |potential |than
|
schedule |II |drugs |and |an |accepted |medical |use. |Schedule |IV |drugs |have|low |abuse
|
potential |and |limited |dependence |liability.
