1.A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a
computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan. A nurse working on an oncology
unit administers chemotherapy to patients who have cancer. At the Public

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

D) Pharmacokinetic
s ANSWER: B
Response:
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 nurse working in radiology is administering a drug to help diagnose a
disease. The nurse working on an oncology unit 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 drug.

ANSWER: B
Response:
Narcotics such as morphine are considered schedule II drugs because of the high
abuse potential with severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser abuse
potential than schedule II drugs and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs
have low abuse potential and limited dependence liability.
