Chapter 1: Orientation to Pharmacology Test Bank 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: 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. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: Four Basic Terms TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX Client Needs Category: Physiologic Integrity: Pharmacologic and Parenteral Therapies 2. 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: 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. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: Additional Properties of an Ideal Drug: Ease of Administration TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: NCLEX Client Needs Category: Physiologic Integrity: Pharmacologic and Parenteral Therapies 3. 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: 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. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: Properties of an Ideal Drug TOP: Nursing Process: Evaluation MSC: NCLEX Client Needs Category: Physiologic Integrity: Pharmacologic and Parenteral Therapies
MULTIPLE RESPONSE 1. 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: 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. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: Properties of an Ideal Drug | Additional Properties of an Ideal Drug TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: NCLEX Client Needs Category: Physiologic Integrity: Pharmacologic and Parenteral Therapies 2. 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: 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.

Mr. Perez is a 76-year-old Mexican American who was recently diagnosed with a slow heartbeat requiring an implanted pacemaker. Mr. Perez has been married for 51 years and has 6 adult children (three daughters aged 50, 48, and 42; three sons aged 47, 45, and 36), 11 grandchildren; and 2 great grandchildren. The youngest boy lives three houses down from Mr. and Mrs. Perez. The other children, except the second-oldest daughter, live within 3 to 10 miles from their parents. The second-oldest daughter is a registered nurse and lives out of state. All members of the family except for Mr. Perez were born in the United States. He was born in Monterrey, Mexico, and immigrated to the United States at the age of 18 in order to work and send money back to the family in Mexico. Mr. Perez has returned to Mexico throughout the years to visit and has lived in Texas ever since. He is retired from work in a machine shop.
Mr. Perez has one living older brother who lives within 5 miles. All members of the family speak Spanish and English fluently. The Perez family is Catholic, as evidenced by the religious items hanging on the wall and prayer books and rosary on the coffee table. Statues of St. Jude and Our Lady of Guadalupe are on the living room table. Mr. and Mrs. Perez have made many mandas (bequests) to pray for the health of the family, including one to thank God for the healthy birth of all the children, especially after the doctor had discouraged them from having any more children after the complicated birth of their first child. The family attends Mass together every Sunday morning and then meets for breakfast chorizo at a local restaurant frequented by many of their church’s other parishioner families. Mr. Perez believes his health and the health of his family are in the hands of God.
The Perez family lives in a modest four-bedroom ranch home that they bought 22 years ago. The home is in a predominantly Mexican American neighborhood located in the La Loma section of town. Mr. and Mrs. Perez are active in the church and neighborhood community. The Perez home is usually occupied by many people and has always been the gathering place for the family. During his years of employment, Mr. Perez was the sole provider for the family and now receives social security checks and a pension. Mrs. Perez is also retired and receives a small pension for a short work period as a teacher’s aide. Mr. and Mrs. Perez count on their nurse daughter to guide them and advise on their health care.
Mr. Perez visits a curandero for medicinal folk remedies. Mrs. Perez is the provider of spiritual, physical, and emotional care for the family. In addition, their nurse daughter is always present during any major surgeries or procedures. Mrs. Perez and her daughter the nurse will be caring for Mr. Perez during his procedure for a pacemaker.

Patient satisfaction in the emergency care department can be enabled through the reduction of lengthy waits. The Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) can be imperative in the changes. An understanding of the cause of lengthy waits and emergency responses in the hospital unit is required to support the EDIS solution provided. The evaluation and analysis of the three articles will portray the article’s credibility and importance in the research study.
Articles Summary
The quality and safety of patients in the emergency unit have to be enabled in emergency care. This follows guidelines and standard practices followed by practitioners in the waiting environment as per the emergency care report (2020). Information system integrations have to consider the mandatory requirements. This is to ensure effective support of the entire process in initial health assessment, care, and treatment after admission. In addition, the information system has to provide clear communication protocols to all stakeholders in the emergency unit.
Staff productivity in the emergency care unit in reducing lengthy waits is determined by policies and systems applied in the provision of acute health care. This can be hugely influenced by patients’ perceptions of satisfaction after the implementation of the policies and systems (Unwin et al., 2016). Planning of realistic policies is imperative in incorporating communication protocols to emergency department workflow for reduced complications and complaints.
Reducing lengthy waits in the emergency department can lead to a reduction in healthcare problems. This entails reduced delays in treatment increasing illnesses and injuries. The length the patient waits plays as a driver towards patient satisfaction (Vashi et al., 2018).

Patient satisfaction in the emergency care department can be enabled through the reduction of lengthy waits. The Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) can be imperative in the changes. An understanding of the cause of lengthy waits and emergency responses in the hospital unit is required to support the EDIS solution provided. The evaluation and analysis of the three articles will portray the article’s credibility and importance in the research study.
Articles Summary
The quality and safety of patients in the emergency unit have to be enabled in emergency care. This follows guidelines and standard practices followed by practitioners in the waiting environment as per the emergency care report (2020). Information system integrations have to consider the mandatory requirements. This is to ensure effective support of the entire process in initial health assessment, care, and treatment after admission. In addition, the information system has to provide clear communication protocols to all stakeholders in the emergency unit.
Staff productivity in the emergency care unit in reducing lengthy waits is determined by policies and systems applied in the provision of acute health care. This can be hugely influenced by patients’ perceptions of satisfaction after the implementation of the policies and systems (Unwin et al., 2016). Planning of realistic policies is imperative in incorporating communication protocols to emergency department workflow for reduced complications and complaints.
