How does the FDA ensure the safety and effectiveness of drugs? What types
of drugs does the FDA regulate or control? - The FDA, through its Center for
Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), exercises control over whether
prescription drugs and OTC drugs may be used for therapy. The mission of
the CDER is to facilitate the availability of safe, effective drugs; keep unsafe
or ineffective drugs off the market; improve the health of Americans; and
provide clear, easily understandable drug information for safe and effective
use. The FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)
regulates the use of biologics including serums, vaccines, and blood
products.

Why are certain drugs placed in schedules? What does the nurse need to
know when a scheduled drug is ordered? - Schedules refer to the potential
for abuse. These schedules help the nurse identify the potential for abuse
and require the nurse to maintain complete records for all quantities
prescribed. The higher the abuse potential, the more restrictions are placed
on the prescriber and the filling of refills. When educating the patient about a
prescription, the nurse should also include this information on any
prescription or refills as part of the education.
Chapter 2
A nurse is preparing to give a patient a medication and notes that a drug to
be given is marked as a Schedule III drug. What does this information tell
the nurse about this medication? - This Schedule III drug is a controlled
substance restricted by the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 and regulated
by the DEA. A Schedule III drug has a moderate abuse potential, moderate
potential for physical dependency, and high potential for psychologic
, dependency.
