D) Drug source
Answer: C
Rationale: Pharmacology is the study of drugs and its action on living organisms. Thus, an

class, and drug source is important, but the most critical aspect related to pharmacology is
how the drug acts in the body.

lips after administration of a prescribed medication. What does the nurse interpret this
finding to specifically indicate?
A) Mild allergic reaction

C) Angioedema
D) Drug idiosyncrasy
Answer: C
Rationale: Angioedema is a type of allergic drug reaction manifested by the collection of
fluid in the subcutaneous tissues, most commonly affecting the eyelids, lips, mouth, and
throat. Allergic reactions can be manifested by a wide range of signs and symptoms such as
itching, rashes, and hives. Anaphylactic shock is a serious allergic reaction that requires
immediate medical attention. Drug idiosyncrasy describes any unusual or abnormal reaction to
a drug, one that is different from the one normally expected.

A) Health care providers report adverse effects to FDA.
B) Healthy volunteers are involved in the test.
C) In vitro tests are performed using human cells.
D) The drug is given to clients with the disease.
Answer: A
, Rationale: The postmarketing surveillance phase of drug development encourages health care
professionals to report adverse effects of drugs to the FDA using MedWatch. Phase 1 of clinical
testing involves 20 to 100 healthy volunteers. In vitro testing of the drug on human or animal
cells is done in the pre-FDA phase. In Phase 2 of clinical testing, the drug is given to clients with
the disease for which the drug is manufactured.
