1.A nurse working in radiology administers iodine to a patient who is having a

describes the actions of all three nurses?
A) Pharmacoeconomics

ANSWER: B
Response:
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 nurse working
in radiology is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The nurse working on an
oncology unit 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 drug.
