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.
