1.A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan. A nurse working on an oncology unit
ff ff ff f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-
ff ff ff f ff f ff ff ff ff ff
month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
best describes the actions of all three nurses?
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
Ans: B
Response:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
disease. The nurse working in radiology is administering a drug to help diagnose a
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
disease.The nurse working on an oncologyunit is administering a drugto help treat a
ff f f f f f ff ff ff ff ff f f ff ff
disease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.

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

Which of the following might the nurse be responsible for during this stage of drug
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
development?

A) Workingwith animals who are given experimental drugs f ff f ff ff ff
B) Monitoringdrugeffects in patients whoareselected to participatein a study, f f f ff f f ff f ff f
who have the disease that the drug is meant to treat
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
C) Collectingrecords ofsymptoms that participants experience while taking a f ff f ff ff ff ff ff f
drug and determining whether they are caused by the disease or the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
drug ff
D) Informinghealthy, youngvolunteerparticipantsofpossiblerisksthatcould f ff f f f f f f f
occur from taking an experimental drug
ff ff ff ff ff ff
Ans: C
Response:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical market where patients are
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
asked to record anysymptoms theyexperience while taking the drugs. Nurses maybe
ff ff ff ff ff f ff ff f ff ff ff f
responsible for helping collect and analyze the information to be shared with the
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Use of animals in drug testing is done in
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
the preclinical trials. A select group of patients who are involved in phase II
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
studies participate in studies where the participants have the disease the drug is
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
intended to treat. These patients are monitored closely for drug effects. Phase I
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
studies involve healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
participation. Nurses may observe for adverse effects and toxicity.

4. Which ofthe following concepts is considered when generic drugs are substituted for
ff f ff ff ff ff ff ff f ff f ff
brand-name drugs?
ff ff
A) Bioavailability
B) Critical concentration ff
C) Distribution
D) Half-life
Ans: A
Response:
Bioavailability is the portion of a dose of a drug that reaches the systemic circulationff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
and is available to act on body cells. Binders used in a generic drug may not be
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
the same as those used in the brand-name drug.Therefore, the waythe bodybreaks
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff f ff ff ff
down and uses the drug may differ, which may eliminate a substitution. Critical
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
concentration is the amount of a drug that is needed to cause a therapeutic effect.
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Distribution is the phase of pharmacokinetics that involves the movement of a drugto the
ff ff ff f ff ff ff ff ff ff f ff f ff
body's tissues. A drug's half-life is the time it takes for the amount of drug to
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
decrease to one-half of the peak level.
