Chapter 01: Orientation to Pharmacology
| | | |


Burchum: Lehne’s Pharmacology for Nursing Care, 11th Edition
| | | | | | |




MULTIPLE |CHOICE

1. The |nurse |is |teaching |a |patient |how |a |medication |works |to |treat |an |illness. |To |do |this, |the
|nurse |will |rely |on |knowledge |of |which |topic? |a. Clinical |pharmacology
b. Drug |efficacy
c. Pharmacokinetics
d. Pharmacotherapeutics
ANS: |D
Pharmacotherapeutics |is |the |study |of |the |use |of |drugs |to |diagnose, |treat, |and |prevent |conditions.
|Clinical |pharmacology |is |concerned |with |all |aspects |of |drug-human |interactions. |Drug |efficacy

|measures |the |extent |to |which |a |given |drug |causes |an |intended |effect. |Pharmacokinetics |is |the

|study |of |the |impact |of |the |body |on |a |drug.



PTS: |1

2. What |is |a |desired |outcome |when |a |drug |is |described |as |easy |to |administer?
a. It |can |be |stored |indefinitely |without |need |for |refrigeration.
b. It |does |not |interact |significantly |with |other |medications.
c. It |enhances |patient |adherence |to |the |drug |regimen.
d. It |is |usually |relatively |inexpensive |to |produce.
ANS: |C
A |major |benefit |of |drugs |that |are |easy |to |administer |is |that |patients |taking |them |are |more |likely |to
|comply |with |the |drug |regimen. |Drugs |that |are |easy |to |give |may |have |the |other |attributes |listed, |but

|those |properties |are |independent |of |ease |of |administration.



PTS: |1

3. A |patient |tells |the |nurse |that |an |analgesic |he |will |begin |taking |may |cause |drowsiness |and |will
decrease |pain |up |to |4 |hours |at |a |time. |Based |on |this |understanding |of |the |drug’s |effects |by |the
|

|patient, |the |nurse |will |anticipate |which |outcome? |a. |Decreased |chance |of |having |a |placebo

|effect

b. Decreased |motivation |to |take |the |drug
c. Improved |compliance |with |the |drug |regimen
d. Increased |likelihood |of |drug |overdose
ANS: |C
A |drug |is |effective |if |it |produces |the |intended |effects, |even |if |it |also |produces |side |effects.
|Patients |who |understand |both |the |risks |and |benefits |of |taking |a |medication |are |more |likely |to

|comply |with |the |drug |regimen.

2. Before |administering | a | medication, |what | does | the |nurse |need | to | know |to | evaluate |how |individual

Chemical |stability |of |the |medication
b. Ease |of |administration
c. Family |medical |history
d. Patient’s |age
e. Patient’s |diagnosis
ANS: |C, |D, |E
The |family |medical |history |can |indicate |genetic |factors |that |may |affect |a |patient’s |response |to |a
|medication. |Patients |of |different |ages |can |respond |differently |to |medications. |The |patient’s

|illness |can |affect |how |drugs |are |metabolized. |The |chemical |stability |of |the |medication |and |the

|ease |of |administration |are |properties |of |drugs.

The |patient |reports |feeling |jittery |sometimes |when |taking |the |medication, |and |doesn’t |feel |that
|

|the |medication |is |always |effective. |Which |action |is |outside |the |nurse’s |scope |of |practice? |a.
