n n n n n n n n n n n n n




n clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of pharmacology that
n n n n n n n n n n




n deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease. The nurse working in
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




n radiology is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The nurse working on an
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




n oncology unit is administering a drug to help treat adisease. Pharmacoeconomics
n n n n n n n n n n n




n includes any costs involved in drug therapy.

2.A physician has ordered intramuscular injections of morphine, a narcotic, every 4 hours
n n n n n n n n n n n n




nas needed for pain for a motor vehicle accident victim. The nurse is aware thatthere is a

nhigh abuse potential for this drug; therefore, morphine is categorized as a:
n n n n n n n n n n n




A) Schedule I drug n n




B) Schedule II drug n n




C) Schedule III drug n n




D) Schedule IV drug n n

, ANSWER: B
Response:
Narcotics such as morphine are considered schedule II drugs because of the high abuse
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




n potential with severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse potential
n n n n n n n n n n n




n and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser abuse potential than
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




schedule II drugs and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs havelow abuse
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




potential and limited dependence liability.
