gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
gh computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan. A nurse working on an oncology
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
gh unit administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
gh Health Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR)
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
gh vaccine to a 14-month-old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of

gh pharmacology best describes the actions of all three nurses?gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Response:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
gh involved with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
gh of pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
gh diagnose disease. The nurse working in radiology is administering a drug to
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
gh help diagnose a disease. The nurse working on an oncology unit is administering
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
gh a drug to help treat adisease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
gh drug therapy.

Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body, and pharmacokinetics gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
ishow the body acts on the drug.
