1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




ncomputedtomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit administers n n n n n n n n n n




nchemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health Department, a nurse n n n n n n n n n n n n




nadministers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-month-old child as a n n n n n n n n n n




routine immunization. Which branch ofpharmacology best describes the actions of all
n n n n n n n n n n n n




nthree nurses? n




A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved with n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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




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




radiology nurse is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The oncology
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




nurse is administering a drug to help treat a disease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




ncosts involved in drug therapy. Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the
n n n n n n n n n n n




nbody and pharmacokinetics is how the body acts on the body.

2. A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a
n n n n n n n n n




nnarcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident
n n n n n n n n n n n n




victim. The nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under what
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




ncategory would morphine be classified? n n n n




A) Schedule I n




B) Schedule II n




C) Schedule III n




D) Schedule IV n

Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs
n n n n n n n n n n n




because of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
n n n n n n n n n n n




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




abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs have
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.

3. When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what responsibilities
n n n n n n n n n




would the nurse have?
n n n n




A) Working with animals who are given experimental drugs n n n n n n n




B) Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug study n n n n n n n n n




C) Monitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects n n n n n n n




D) Conducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug n n n n n n n




ANSWER: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in which
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




patients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while taking
n n n n n n n n n n n




the drugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and analyze the
n n n n n n n n n n n n




information to be shared with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but
n n n n n n n n n n n n




nwould not conduct research independently because nurses do not prescribe
n n n n n n n n n




nmedications. Use of animals in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials. n n n n n n n n n n n n




nSelect patients who are involved in phase II studies to participate in studies
n n n n n n n n n n n n




nwhere the participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat. These
n n n n n n n n n n n n




npatients are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I
n n n n n n n n n n n




nstudies involve healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their
n n n n n n n n n n




nparticipation. Nurses may observe for adverse effects and toxicity. n n n n n n n n




4. What concept is considered when generic drugs are substituted for
n n n n n n n n n




brand name drugs?
n n n




A) Bioavailability
B) Critical concentration n




C) Distribution
D) Half-life
