The nurse is employed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is involved in clinical investigation. What is the primary role of the nurse in this phase of the review and approval process by the FDA?
 
  1. To perform tests on the population-at-large
  2. To perform tests on various species of animals
  3. To perform tests on human cells cultured in the laboratory
  4. To perform tests on human clients

Question 2

The student nurse has completed an initial pharmacology course and tells the nursing instructor that it was difficult and she is glad it is over. What is the best response by the nursing instructor?
 
  1. It may be over, but now you must apply what you have learned to patient care.
  2. Learning is gradual and continuous; we never completely master all areas of pharmacology.
  3. Learning is always painful, but we must continue anyway.
  4. It really isn't over; you should take a graduate course next.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Clinical investigation includes performing tests on healthy volunteers, and later, on selected clients with a particular disease. Performing tests on human cells cultured in the laboratory is the preclinical investigation stage. Performing tests on the population-at-large is the stage of post-marketing surveillance. Performing tests on various species of animals is the preclinical investigation stage.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Learning pharmacology is a gradual, continuous process that does not end with graduation. Never does one completely master every facet of drug action and application. There is no reason for the student nurse to take a graduate level pharmacology course at this time. It is true that the student must apply what has been learned to patient care, but this response implies that learning is over. Learning is not always painful.
