A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is havin
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
g a computed tomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology u
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
nit administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public He
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
alth Department, a nurse administers a measles-mumps-
sz sz sz sz sz sz
rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 14-month-
sz sz sz sz sz
old child as a routine immunization. Which branch of pharmacology best de
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
scribes the actions of all three nurses?
sz sz sz sz sz s z
A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
Ans: B
Feedback:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are i
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
nvolved with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a bra
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
nch of pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
diagnose disease. The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help diagn
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
ose a disease. The oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a dise
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
ase. Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body and pharmacokinetic sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
s is how the body acts on the body.

Ans: C
Feedback:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in which
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
patients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while taking the
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
drugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and analyze the infor
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
mation to be shared with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but woul
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
d not conduct research independently because nurses do not prescribe medi
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
cations. Use of animals in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials. Selec
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
t patients who are involved in phase II studies to participate in studies wher
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
e the participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat. These patien
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
ts are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I studies
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
involve healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their participatio
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
n. Nurses may observe for adverse effects and toxicity.

A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a nar
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
cotic, every 4 hours as needed for pain in a motor vehicle accident victim. T
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
he nurse is aware this drug has a high abuse potential. Under what category
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
would morphine be classified? sz sz sz
A) Schedule I sz
B) Schedule II sz
C) Schedule III sz
D) Schedule IV sz
Ans: B
Feedback:
Narcotics with a high abuse potential are classified as Schedule II drugs be
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
cause of severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse pot
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
ential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser abuse
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs have low a
sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz sz
buse potential and limited dependence liability.
