1. The nurse is teaching a patient how a medication works to treat an illness. To
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


do this, thenurse will rely on knowledge of:
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


a. clinical pharmacology. nm


b. drug efficacy. nm


c. pharmacokinetics.
d. pharmacotherapeutics.

ANS: D nm


Pharmacotherapeutics is the study of the use of drugs to diagnose, treat, and prevent nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


conditions. Clinical pharmacology is concerned with all aspects of drug–human
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


interactions.Drug efficacy measures the extent to which a given drug causes an
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


intended effect.
nm nm


Pharmacokinetics is the study of the impact of the body on a drug. nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

a. It can be stored indefinitely without need for refrigeration.

nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


d. It is usually relatively inexpensive to produce.
nm nm nm nm nm nm




ANS: C nm


A major benefit of drugs that are easy to administer is that patients taking them
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


are morelikely to comply with the drug regimen. Drugs that are easy to give
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


may have the other attributes listed, but those properties are independent of

3. A patient tells the nurse that he was told by the prescriber that the analgesic he
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


is taking is very effective. Which statement by the patient demonstrates an
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


understanding of the drug‘seffectiveness?
nm nm nm nm nm


a. ―I don‘t have to worry about toxicity, since it takes a large amount of
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


this drug tocause an overdose.‖
nm nm nm nm nm nm

,b. ―It has no side effects and doesn‘t interact with other drugs.‖
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


d. ―It might make me sleepy, and it lessens pain for several hours at a time.‖
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm




ANS: D

, A drug is effective if it produces the intended effects, even if it also produces side
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


effects. Because no drug is completely safe, the level of toxicity does not determine
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


effectiveness. Alldrugs have side effects and many react with other substances; these
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


do not affect the drug‘s effectiveness. Ease of administration is independent of a
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


drug‘s effectiveness.

1. A patient is using a metered-dose inhaler containing albuterol for asthma. The
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


medicationlabel instructs the patient to administer ―2 puffs every 4 hours as
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


needed for coughing or
nm nm nm nm


wheezing.‖ The patient reports feeling jittery sometimes when taking the medication,
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


and shedoesn‘t feel that the medication is always effective. Which is not an
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


appropriate nursing intervention for this patient?
nm nm nm nm nm nm


a. Asking the patient to demonstrate use of the inhaler
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


b. Assessing the patient‘s exposure to tobacco smokenm nm nm nm nm nm


c. Auscultating lung sounds and obtaining vital signs nm nm nm nm nm nm


d. Suggesting that the patient use one puff to reduce side effects
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm




ANS: D nm


It is not within the nurse‘s scope of practice to change the dose of a medication
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


without an order from a prescriber. Asking the patient to demonstrate inhaler use
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


helps the nurse to evaluate the patient‘s ability to administer the medication
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


properly and is part of the nurse‘sevaluation. Assessing tobacco smoke exposure
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


helps the nurse determine whether nondrug therapies, such a smoke avoidance, can
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


be used as an adjunct to drug therapy. Performing aphysical assessment helps the
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


nurse evaluate the patient‘s response to the medication.

2. A postoperative patient is being discharged home with acetaminophen/hydrocodone
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


(Lortab)for pain. The patient asks the nurse about using Tylenol for fever. Which
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


statement by the nurse is correct?
nm nm nm nm nm nm


a. ―It is not safe to take over-the-counter drugs with prescription medications.‖
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


b. ―Taking the two medications together poses a risk of drug toxicity.‖
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


c. ―There are no known drug interactions, so this will be safe.‖
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


d. ―Tylenol and Lortab are different drugs, so there is no risk of overdose.‖
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm




ANS: B nm


Tylenol is the trade name and acetaminophen is the generic name for the same
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


medication. It is important to teach patients to be aware of the different names for
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


the same drug to minimizethe risk of overdose. Over-the-counter (OTC) medications
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


and prescription medications may be taken together unless significant harmful drug
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


interactions are possible. Even though no drug interactions are at play in this case,
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


both drugs contain acetaminophen, which could lead to toxicity.
