jAns: B

Feedback:

Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved with clinical
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of pharmacology that deals with the uses
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

ofdrugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease. The radiology nurse is administering a drug to help
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

diagnose a disease. The oncology nurse is administering a drug to help treat a disease.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy. Pharmacodynamics involves how j j j j j j j j j j

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

A physician has ordered intramuscular (IM) injections of morphine, a narcotic, every 4 hours as needed

liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

drugs have a lesser abuse potential than II and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs have low
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

abusepotential and limited dependence liability.

When involved in phase III drug evaluation studies, what responsibilities would the nurse
j j j j j j j j j j j j

jhave?Working with animals who are given experimental drugs
j j j j j j j j

Choosing appropriate patients to be involved in the drug study
j j j j j j j j j

jMonitoring and observing patients closely for adverse effects
j j j j j j j

jConducting research to determine effectiveness of the drug Ans: C
j j j j j j j j j

Feedback:

Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical population in which patients are asked to
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

recordany symptoms they experience while taking the drugs. Nurses may be responsible for helping
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

collect and analyze the information to be shared with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

would not conduct research independently because nurses do not prescribe medications. Use of animals
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

in drug testing is done in the preclinical trials. Select patients who are involved in phase II studies to
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

participatein studies where the participants have the disease the drug is intended to treat. These patients
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

are monitored closely for drug action and adverse effects. Phase I studies involve healthy human
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

volunteerswho are usually paid for their participation. Nurses may observe for adverse effects and
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

toxicity.

Half-life

jAns: A

Feedback:

Bioavailability is the portion of a dose of a drug that reaches the systemic circulation and is available to act
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

on body cells. Binders used in a generic drug may not be the same as those used in the brand name drug.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

Therefore, the way the body breaks down and uses the drug may differ, which may eliminate a generic
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

drug substitution. Critical concentration is the amount of a drug that is needed to cause a therapeutic
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

effect and should not differ between generic and brand name medications. Distribution is the phase of
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

pharmacokinetics, which involves the movement of a drug to the body’s tissues and is the

same in generic and brand name drugs. A drug’s half-life is the time it takes for the amount of drug
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

todecrease to half the peak level, which should not change when substituting a generic medication.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

A nurse is assessing the patient’s home medication use. After listening to the patient list current
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

medications, the nurse asks what priority question?
j j j j j j j

Do you take any generic medications?
j j j j j

Are any of these medications orphan drugs?
j j j j j j

Are these medications safe to take during
j j j j j j

jpregnancy?Do you take any over-the-counter j j j j j

jmedications?

Ans: D

Feedback:

It is important for the nurse to specifically question use of over-the-counter medications because patients
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

may not consider them important. The patient is unlikely to know the meaning of orphan drugsunless
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

they too are health care providers. Safety during pregnancy, use of a generic medication, or classification
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

of orphan drugs are things the patient would be unable to answer but could be found in reference books if
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

the nurse wishes to research them.
j j j j j j

After completing a course on pharmacology for nurses, what will the nurse
j j j j j j j j j j j

jknow?Everything necessary for safe and effective medication administration
j j j j j j j j

Current pharmacologic therapy; the nurse will not require ongoing education for 5 years.
j j j j j j j j j j j j

jGeneral drug information; the nurse can consult a drug guide for specific drug
j j j j j j j j j j j j

jinformation.The drug actions that are associated with each classification of medication Ans:
j j j j j j j j j j j j

C

Feedback:

After completing a pharmacology course nurses will have general drug information needed for safe
j j j j j j j j j j j j j

andeffective medication administration but will need to consult a drug guide for specific drug
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

information before administering any medication. Pharmacology is constantly changing, with new drugs
j j j j j j j j j j j j

entering the market and new uses for existing drugs identified. Continuing education in pharmacology is
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

essential to safe practice. Nurses tend to become familiar with the medications they administer most
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

often, but there will always be a need to research new drugs and also those the nurse is not familiar
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j

withbecause no nurse knows all medications.
