1. A .nurse .working .in .radiology .administers .iodine .to .a .patient .who .is .having
.acomputed .tomography .(CT) .scan. .The .nurse .working .on .the .oncology .unit
.administers .chemotherapy .to .patients .who .have .cancer. .At .the .Public
.HealthDepartment, .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
Ans: B
Feedback:
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 .radiology .nurse .is .administering .a .drug .to .help .diagnose .a .disease.
.The .oncology .nurse .is .administering .a .drug .to .help .treata .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 .body.
2. A .physician .has .ordered .intramuscular .(IM) .injections .of .morphine, .a
.narcotic, .every .4 .hours .as .needed .for .pain .in .a .motor .vehicle .accident
. victim. .The .nurse .is .aware .this .drug .has .a .high .abuse .potential. .Under
.what .category .would .morphine .be .classified?
A) Schedule . I
B) Schedule . II
C) Schedule . III
D) Schedule . IV
Ans: B
, Feedback:
Narcotics .with .a .high .abuse .potential .are .classified .as .Schedule .II .drugs
.because .of .severe .dependence .liability. .Schedule .I .drugs .have .high .abuse
.potential . and . no .accepted .medical . use. . Schedule . III . drugs .have . a
. lesser .abuse .potential .than .II .and .an .accepted .medical .use. .Schedule .IV
.drugs .have .low .abuse .potential .and .limited .dependence .liability.
3. When .involved .in .phase .III .drug .evaluation .studies, .what
.responsibilities .would .the .nurse .have?
A) Working .with . animals . who . are . given . experimental . drugs
B) Choosing . appropriate . patients . to . be . involved . in . the . drug . study
C) Monitoring .and . observing . patients . closely . for . adverse . effects
D) Conducting . research . to . determine . effectiveness . of . the . drug
Ans: C
Feedback:
Phase .III .studies .involve .use .of .a .drug .in .a .vast .clinical .population .in
.which .patients .are .asked .to .record .any .symptoms .they .experience .while
.taking .the .drugs. .Nurses .may .be .responsible .for .helping .collect .and
.analyze .the .information .to .be .shared .with .the .Food .and .Drug
.Administration .(FDA) .but .would .not .conduct .research .independently
.because .nurses .do .not .prescribe .medications. .Use .of .animals .in .drug
.testing .is .done .in .the .preclinical .trials. .Select .patients .who .are .involved
.in .phase .II .studies .to .participate .in .studies .where .the .participants .have
.the .disease .the .drug .is .intended .to .treat. .These .patients .are .monitored
.closely .for .drug .action .and .adverse .effects. .Phase .I .studies .involve
.healthy .human .volunteers .who .are .usually .paid .for .their .participation.
.Nurses .may .observe .for .adverse .effects .and .toxicity.
4. What .concept .is .considered .when .generic .drugs .are .substituted .for
.brand .name .drugs?
A) Bioavailability
B) Critical . concentration
