N115 Pharm Test Bank Exam Practice
Questions and Answers

The nurse is teaching a patient how a medication works to treat an illness. To do this, the nurse will rely

on knowledge of:




a. clinical pharmacology.


b. drug efficacy.


c. pharmacokinetics.


d. pharmacotherapeutics. - Ans:✔✔-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.

What does it mean 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:✔✔-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.


A patient tells the nurse that he was told by the prescriber that the analgesic he is taking is very

effective. Which statement by the patient demonstrates an understanding of the drug's effectiveness?




a. "I don't have to worry about toxicity, since it takes a large amount of this drug to cause an overdose."


b. "It has no side effects and doesn't interact with other drugs."


c. "I only have to take it every 12 hours."

d. "It might make me sleepy, and it lessens pain for several hours at a time." - Ans:✔✔-ANS: D




A drug is effective if it produces the intended effects, even if it also produces side effects. Because no

drug is completely safe, the level of toxicity does not determine effectiveness. All drugs have side effects

and many react with other substances; these do not affect the drug's effectiveness. Ease of

administration is independent of a drug's effectiveness.


What are the properties of an ideal drug? (Select all that apply.)




a. Irreversible action


b. Predictability


c. Ease of administration


d. Chemical stability


e. A simple trade name - Ans:✔✔-ANS: B, C, D

In addition to predictability, ease of administration, and chemical stability, other properties include a

reversible action so that any harm the drug may cause can be undone and a simple generic name,

because generic names are usually complex and difficult to remember and pronounce.


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

patient variability might affect the patient's response to the medication? (Select all that apply.)




a. Chemical stability of the medication


b. Ease of administration


c. Family medical history


d. Patient's age


e. Patient's diagnosis - Ans:✔✔-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.
