, Chapter 1, Introduction to Drugs

1. A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a client who is having a computed
tomography (CT) scan. The nurse working on the oncology unit administers chemotherapy
to clients who have cancer. At the Public Health Department, a nurse administers a
measles–mumps–rubella (MMR) 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
c. pharmacodynamics
d. pharmacokinetic
ANS: B
Feedback: 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.

2. The care provider has prescribed intravenous hydromorphone, an opioid, for a client using a
client-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump. The nurse is aware that this drug has a high abuse
potential. Under what category would hydromorphone be classified?
a. schedule I
b. schedule II
c. schedule III
d. shedule IV
ANS: B
Feedback: Opioids with a high abuse potential are classified as schedule II drugs because of
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.
