R
3. Any substance that is taken to prevent, cure, or reduce symptoms of a medical condition

4. Any substance that can be isolated from natural substances in nature
SE

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: A drug is not a substance that is found in nature or that normally occurs in the human body.

Rationale 2: A drug is not only a substance that is synthesized and tested.

Rationale 3: A drug is considered to be any substance that is taken to prevent, cure, or reduce symptoms of a
medical condition.

Rationale 4: A drug is not only a substance isolated from natural substances.

2. The most common side effects of the drug’s prototype

drug’s prototype.

Rationale 3: The nurse should understand much more about a drug than just its trade and generic names.

,Global Rationale: The nurse is expected to understand the pharmacotherapeutics for all medications that the

Question 6
Type: MCSA

The Food and Drug Administration classifies drugs by category, and these categories and drugs are found in the
“Orange Book.” To find out which drugs treat hypertension, the nurse would look under which classification?

1. Cardiac

2. Pharmacologic

3. Disease

4. Therapeutic

Correct Answer: 4
BN
Rationale 1: There is no cardiac classification.

Rationale 2: The pharmacologic category describes how the drug works, not what condition the drug treats.
However, the nurse could determine what condition the drug treats by knowing how the drug works.
U
Rationale 3: Disease is not a category.

Rationale 4: The nurse would look under the therapeutic category to find out what a drug will treat.
R

Global Rationale: To find out which drugs treat hypertension, the nurse would look under the therapeutic
category to find out what a drug will treat. The pharmacologic category describes how the drug works, not what
SE
condition the drug treats. However, the nurse could determine what condition the drug treats by knowing how the
drug works. Disease is not a category and there is no cardiac classification.

Question 7
Type: MCSA

currently taking to understand how each drug produces its effects in the body. To find this information, the nurse
looks up which classification for each medication?

1. Therapeutic

2. Cardiac

3. Disease

4. Pharmacologic

Correct Answer: 4

, Rationale 1: The therapeutic classification describes what condition is being treated by a drug, not how the drug
works in the body.

Rationale 2: There is no cardiac category.

Rationale 3: There is no disease category.

Rationale 4: The nurse researches the pharmacologic classification to discover how a drug works in the body.

the body. There is no cardiac or disease category.

Question 8
Type: MCMA

A prototype drug is a single drug in a class and can be compared with all other medications in the class. What are
the benefits for the nurse to studying the prototype drug in predicting characteristics of other drugs in the same
class?
BN
Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected.

Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. Which drugs have the most favorable safety profile
U

2. Their therapeutic indications
R
3. Their actions and adverse effects
SE
4. Their specific clinical use

5. Contraindications specific to any drug in that group

Correct Answer: 2,3,4

Rationale 1: The prototype drug does not provide a safety profile of other drugs in the same class.

Rationale 2: Studying the therapeutic indications of a prototype drug may allow the nurse to predict actions and
adverse effects of other drugs in the same group.

Rationale 3: By studying the prototype, the nurse can predict the actions and adverse effects of other drugs in the
same class.

Rationale 4: Studying the prototype drug may allow the nurse to predict the clinical use of another drug in the
same class.

Rationale 5: Contraindications may differ for specific drugs in the same class as the prototype.

Global Rationale: Studying the therapeutic indications of a prototype drug may allow the nurse to predict actions
and adverse effects of other drugs in the same group. The nurse can also predict the actions, adverse effects, and
clinical uses of other drugs in the same class. The prototype drug does not provide a safety profile of other drugs
in the same class. Contraindications may differ for specific drugs in the same class as the prototype.
