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



tomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit administers
x x x x x x x x x x x



chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public HealthDepartment, a nurse
x x x x x x x x x x x x



administers a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-month-old child as a
x x x x x x x x x x x



routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best describes the actions of all
x x x x x x x x x x x x



three nurses?
x x




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



with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of
x x x x x x x x x x



pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



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



nurse is administering a drug to help treata disease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any
x x x x x x x x x x x x



costs involved in drug therapy.Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the
x x x x x x x x x x x



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

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



narcotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident
x x x x x x x x x x x x x



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



category would morphine be classified?
x x x x x




A) Schedule I x




B) Schedule II x




C) Schedule III x




D) Schedule IV x




Ans: B

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



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



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



lesser abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV
x x x x x x x x x x x x



drugs have low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.
x x x x x x x x x




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



would the nurse have?
x x x x




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




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




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




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




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



patients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while taking the
x x x x x x x x x x x x



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



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



would not conduct research independently because nurses do not prescribe
x x x x x x x x x x



medications. Use of animals in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x



Select patients who are involved in phase II studies to participate in studies
x x x x x x x x x x x x x



where the participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat. These
x x x x x x x x x x x x x



patients are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I
x x x x x x x x x x x x



studies involve healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their
x x x x x x x x x x x



participation. Nurses may observe for adverse effects and toxicity.
x x x x x x x x x

x x x x x x x x x x
