computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan. A nurse working on an oncology unit

best describes the actions of all three nurses?
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




A) Pharmacoeconomics
B) Pharmacotherapeutics
C) Pharmacodynamics
D) Pharmacokinetics
Ans: B
Response:
Pharmacology is the study of the biologic effects of chemicals. Nurses are involved QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




with clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




disease. The nurse working in radiology is administering a drug to help diagnose a
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




disease. The nurse working on an oncology unit is administering a drug to help treat
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




adisease. Pharmacoeconomics includes any costs involved in drug therapy.

2.A physician has ordered intramuscular injections of morphine, a narcotic, every 4

hours as needed for pain for a motor vehicle accident victim. The nurse is aware
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




thatthere is a high abuse potential for this drug; therefore, morphine is categorized as

a:
QP




A) Schedule I drug QP QP




B) Schedule II drug QP QP




C) Schedule III drug QP QP




D) Schedule IV drug QP QP




Ans: B
Response:
Narcotics such as morphine are considered schedule II drugs because of the high
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




abuse potential with severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




potential and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser abuse
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




potential than schedule II drugs and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs

QP Q
P QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




D) Informing healthy, young volunteer participants of possible risks that QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




couldoccur from taking an experimental drug
QP Q
P QP QP QP QP QP




Ans: C
Response:
Phase III studies involve use of a drug in a vast clinical market where patients are
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




asked to record any symptoms they experience while taking the drugs. Nurses may
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




beresponsible for helping collect and analyze the information to be shared with the
QP Q
P QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Use of animals in drug testing is done in the
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




preclinical trials. A select group of patients who are involved in phase II studies
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




participate in studies where the participants have the disease the drug is intended to
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




treat. These patients are monitored closely for drug effects. Phase I studies involve
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




healthy human volunteers who are usually paid for their participation. Nurses may
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




observe for adverse effects and toxicity.

4.Which of the following concepts is considered when generic drugs are substituted
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




forbrand-name drugs?
QP Q
P QP




A) Bioavailability
B) Critical concentration QP




C) Distribution
D) Half-life
Ans: A
Response:
Bioavailability is the portion of a dose of a drug that reaches the systemic circulation QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




and is available to act on body cells. Binders used in a generic drug may not be the
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




same as those used in the brand-name drug. Therefore, the way the body breaks
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




downand uses the drug may differ, which may eliminate a substitution. Critical
QP Q
P QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




concentration is the amount of a drug that is needed to cause a therapeutic effect.
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




Distribution is the phase of pharmacokinetics that involves the movement of a drugQP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




tothe body's tissues. A drug's half-life is the time it takes for the amount of drug to
QP Q
P QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




decrease to one-half of the peak level.

A) ―OTC drugs are products that are available without prescription for self-

treatment of minor complaints.‖

B) ―OTC drugs are considered medications and should be reported on a drug QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




history.‖ QP

C) ―OTC drugs were approved as prescription drugs but later were found to be
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




safe without the need for a prescription.‖
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




D) ―OTC drugs need to be taken with caution. They can mask the signs and
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




symptoms of an underlying disease and interfere with prescription drug
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




therapy.‖ QP




Ans: D
Response:
OTC drugs are considered medications and should be reported. OTC drugs are
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




available without a prescription, although some were first approved as prescription
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




drugs. The most important teaching should relate to their safe use and that OTC
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP

QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




Administration(FDA) to tighten control over the quality of drugs and required that
QP Q
P QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




safety and efficacy standards be established?
QP QP QP QP QP QP

C) Durham HumphreyAmendment of 1951 QP Q
P QP QP




D) Kefauver-Harris Act of 1962 QP QP QP




Ans: D
Response:
The Kefauver-Harris Act was the result of the use of the 1960s drug thalidomide
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




(Thalomid). The public concern led to the legislation that gave the FDA regulatory
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




control over testing and evaluating of drugs and allowed it to set standards for
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




efficacy and safety. The Pure Food and Drug Act required labeling to eliminate
QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




falseclaims. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act gave the FDA the power to
QP Q
P QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP QP




enforce standards for testing drug toxicity and monitoring labeling. The Durham-
