UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
ble to choose which aspect as the most critical to remember?
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
A) Drug name UV
B) Drug class UV
C) Drug action UV
D) Drug source UV
ACCURATE CHOICE:-C UV
Reasoning :- UV
>> Pharmacology is the study of drugs and its action on living organisms. Thus, an es
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
sential aspect of pharmacology is drug action. An understanding of the drug name, dru
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
g class, and drug source is important, but the most critical aspect related to pharmacol
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV U V UV UV UV UV
ogy is how the drug acts in the body.

2. A nursing attendant suspects the hospital client had an adverse reaction to a presc
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
ribed medication due to an interaction with an unreported over-the-
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
counter supplement. Which action by the nursing attendant will best assist in pre
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
venting future similar incidents?
UV UV UV
A) File a report with MedWatch UV UV UV UV
B) File a report with the State Board of Nursing
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
C) Instruct the hospital client to avoid combining medications in the future
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
D) Document the incident and report it to the primary health care provider
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
ACCURATE CHOICE:-A UV
Reasoning :- UV
>> Professional nurses play an important role in monitoring for adverse reactions. The
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
refore, it is important to submit reports, even if there is uncertainty about the cause–
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
effect relationship. The FDA protects the identity of those who voluntarily report adve
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
rse reactions.

eloped swelling of the eyelids and lips after administration of a prescribed medication.

What does the nursing attendant interpret this finding to specifically indicate?
V UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
A) Mild allergic reaction UV UV
B) Anaphylactic shock UV
C) Angioedema
D) Drug idiosyncrasy UV
ACCURATE CHOICE:-C UV
Reasoning:-
>> Angioedema is a type of allergic drug reaction manifested by the collection of fluid
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
in the subcutaneous tissues, most commonly affecting the eyelids, lips, mouth, and throa
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
t. Allergic reactions can be manifested by a wide range of signs and symptoms such as
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
itching, rashes, and hives. Anaphylactic shock is a serious allergic reaction that requires
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
immediate medical attention. Drug idiosyncrasy describes any unusual or abnormal reac
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
tion to a drug, one that is different from the one normally expected.

UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
n best illustrates this phase?
UV UV UV UV
A) Primary health care providers report adverse effects to FDA.
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
B) Healthy volunteers are involved in the test.
UV UV UV UV UV UV
C) In vitro tests are performed using human cells.
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
D) The drug is given to hospital clients with the disease.
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
ACCURATE CHOICE:-A UV
, Reasoning:-
>> The post marketing surveillance phase of drug development encourages primary heal
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
th care professionals to report adverse effects of drugs to the FDA using MedWatch. Phase
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
1 of clinical testing involves 20 to 100 healthy volunteers. In vitro testing of the drug
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
on human or animal cells is done in the pre-
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
FDA phase. In Phase 2 of clinical testing, the drug is given to hospital clients with the
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
disease for which the drug is manufactured.

UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
A) Diabetes
B) Hypertension
C) Addiction to drugs UV UV
D) CNS defects UV
ACCURATE CHOICE:-C UV
Reasoning:-
>> The nursing attendant informs the hospital client that children born to mothers
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV U V UV
using addictive drugs are often born with an addiction to the drug. Children born to
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
mothers who are addicted to cocaine are not known to be born with diabetes, CNS de
UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV UV
