8. Discharge planning for patients leaving the hospital should include
instructions on the use of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Which comment

C) OTC drugs are different from any drugs available by prescription and
cost less.
D) OTC drugs could cause serious harm if not taken according to directions.
Ans: D
Feedback:
It is important to follow package directions because OTCs are medications
that can cause serious harm if not taken properly. OTCs are drugs that have
been determined to be safe when taken as directed; however, all drugs can
produce adverse effects even when taken properly. They may have originally
been prescription drugs that were tested by the FDA or they may have been
grandfathered in when the FDA laws changed. OTC education should always
be included as a part of the hospital discharge instructions.
9. What would be the best source of drug information for a nurse?
A) Drug Facts and Comparisons
B) A nurses drug guide
C) A drug package insert
D) The Physicians Drug Reference (PDR)
Ans: B
Feedback:
A nurses drug guide provides nursing implications and patient teaching points
that are most useful to nurses in addition to need-to-know drug information in a
very user friendly organizational style.Lippincotts Nursing Drug Guide (LNDG)
has drug monographs organized alphabetically and includes nursing
implications and patient teaching points. Numerous other drug handbooks are
also on the market and readily available for nurses to use. Although other drug
reference books such as Drug Facts and
Comparisons, PDR, and drug package inserts can all provide essential drug
information, they will not contain nursing implications and teaching points and
can be more difficult to use than nurses drug guides.

10 The nurse is preparing to administer a medication from a multidose bottle.
. The label is torn and soiled but the name of the medication is still readable.
What is the nurses priority action?
A) Discard the entire bottle and contents and obtain a new bottle.
B) Find the drug information and create a new label for the bottle.
C) Ask another nurse to verify the contents of the bottle.
D) Administer the medication if the name of the drug can be clearly read.
Ans: A
Feedback:
When the drug label is soiled obscuring some information the safest action by
the nurse is to discard the bottle and contents because drug labels contain a
great deal of important information, far more than just the name of the drug.
Concentration of the drug, expiration date, administration directions, and
precautions may be missing from the label and so put the patient at risk.
Looking up drug information in a drug handbook or consulting with another
nurse will not supply the expiration date or concentration of medication. Be safe
and discard the bottle and its contents.
11 What aspect of pharmacology does a nurse study? (Select all that apply.)
.
A) Chemical pharmacology
B) Molecular pharmacology
C) Impact of drugs on the body
D) The bodys response to a drug
E) Adverse and anticipated drug effects
Ans: C, D, E
Feedback:
Nurses study pharmacology from a pharmacotherapeutic level, which
includes the effect of drugs on the body, the bodys response to drugs, and
both expected and unexpected drug effects. Chemical and molecular
pharmacology (Options A and B) are not included in nursing pharmacology
courses.

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 radiology nurse is administering a drug to help
diagnose a disease. The oncology nurse 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 body.
