1 of 440 7/23/2024, 6:32 AM 1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a computed
tomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit administers
chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public Health Department, 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) PharmacokineticsANSWER: 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 treat a 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 whatcategory would
morphine be classified?
A) Schedule I
B) Schedule II
C) Schedule III
D) Schedule IVANSWER: BTest bank pharmacology clear and simple a guide to drug classifications... file:///C:/Users/HP/Downloads/Test%20bank%20pharmacology%20cl...
2 of 440 7/23/2024, 6:32 AM 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 havelow
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 drugANSWER: C
Feedback:Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in whichpatients are asked to record any symptoms they experience while taking thedrugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping collect and analyze theinformation to be shared with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) butwould not conduct research independently because nurses do not prescribemedications. Use of animals in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials.Select patients who are involved in phase II studies to participate in studieswhere the participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat. Thesepatients are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase Istudies involve healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for theirparticipation. 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
C) Distribution
D) Half-lifeANSWER: A
Feedback:Test bank pharmacology clear and simple a guide to drug classifications... file:///C:/Users/HP/Downloads/Test%20bank%20pharmacology%20cl...
3 of 440 7/23/2024, 6:32 AM Bioavailability is the portion of a dose of a drug that reaches the systemic
circulation and is available to act on body cells. Binders used in a generic drug
may not be the same as those used in the brand name drug. Therefore, the way
the body breaks down and uses the drug may differ, which may eliminate a
generic drug substitution. Critical concentration is the amount ofa drug that is
needed to cause a therapeutic effect and should not differ between generic and
brand name medications. Distribution is the phase of pharmacokinetics, which
involves the movement of a drug to the bodys tissues and is the same in generic
and brand name drugs. A drugs half-life isthe time it takes for the amount of
drug to decrease to half the peak level, which should not change
when substituting a generic medication.
5. A nurse is assessing the patients home medication use. After listening to the
patient list current medications, the nurse asks what priority question?
A) Do you take any generic medications?
B) Are any of these medications orphan drugs?
C) Are these medications safe to take during pregnancy?
D) Do you take any over-the-counter medications?ANSWER: D
Feedback:
It is important for the nurse to specifically question use of over-the-counter
medications because patients may not consider them important. The patient is
unlikely to know the meaning of orphan drugs unless they too are health care
providers. Safety during pregnancy, use of a generic medication, or
classification of orphan drugs are things the patient would be unable to
answer but could be found in reference books if the nurse wishes to research
them.
6. After completing a course on pharmacology for nurses, what will the nurse
know?
A) Everything necessary for safe and effective medication administration
B) Current pharmacologic therapy; the nurse will not require ongoing
education for 5 years.
C) General drug information; the nurse can consult a drug guide for specific
drug information.
D) The drug actions that are associated with each classification of
medicationANSWER: C
