a. clinical pharmacology.
b. drug effectiveness.
c. pharmacokinetics.
d. pharmacotherapeutics.
ANS: D
Pharmacotherapeutics involves the examination of the use of drugs to identify, manage, and hinder conditions. Clinical pharmacology is linked with all facets of drug–human associations. Drug effectiveness assesses the degree to which a given drug triggers an intended response. Pharmacokinetics investigates the impact of the body on a drug.

2. What does it signify when a substance is labeled as effortless to administer?
a. It can be stored indefinitely without any necessity for refrigeration.
b. It has minimal interaction with other medications.
c. It boosts patient adherence to the drug regimen.
d. It is typically quite affordable to manufacture.
ANS: C
A key advantage of drugs that are simple to administer is that patients taking them are more likely to stick to the drug regimen. Drugs that are easy to dispense may possess the other qualities mentioned, but those features are detached from the ease of administration.

3. A patient notifies the nurse that the prescriber informed him that the analgesic he is consuming is highly effective. Which remark by the patient exhibits a grasp of the drug’s efficiency?
a. “I need not fret about toxicity, as only a substantial quantity of this drug induces an overdose.”
b. “It is devoid of side effects and does not interact with other drugs.”
c. “I am only required to ingest it every 12 hours.”
d. “It may induce drowsiness, and it diminishes pain for several hours at a stretch.”
ANS: D
A drug is considered effective if it generates the aimed effects, even if it also elicits side effects. As no drug is completely risk-free, the degree of toxicity does not ascertain effectiveness. Every drug has side effects, and many interact with other substances; these factors do not influence the drug’s efficiency. The ease of administration is unconnected to a drug’s effectiveness.
