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
