uencing The nurse developing a time line of drug regulations and standards would list the following events in which chronological order?

1. Passage of the Sherley Amendment
2. Passage of the Childhood Vaccine Act
3. Development of the U.S. Pharmacopoeia
4. Passage of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act
5. Passage of the Biologics Control Act

Question 2

Which statements regarding the preclinical research stage of drug development are true? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. Most drugs do not proceed past the preclinical stage because they are found to be too toxic or just ineffective.
2. At the end of the preclinical research stage, client variability is determined and potential drug-to-drug interactions are examined.
3. The preclinical stage of research involves extensive testing on animals in the laboratory to determine if the drug will cause harm to humans.
4. Preclinical research results are always inconclusive.
5. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for extensive testing for safety before the pharmaceutical company can begin the preclinical research stage of development.

Answer to Question 1

3, 5, 1, 2, 4

Rationale: The U.S. Pharmacopoeia was established in 1820 and served as the first comprehensive publication of drug standards. The Biologics Control Act was passed in 1902 and controlled the quality of serums and other blood-related products. Passed in 1912, the Sherley Amendment made medicines safer by prohibiting the sale of drugs labeled with false therapeutic claims. The Childhood Vaccine Act was passed in 1986 and allowed the FDA to acquire information about clients taking vaccines, to recall biologics, and to recommend civil penalties if guidelines regarding biologic use were not followed. Lastly, in 1992 the Prescription Drug User Fee Act was passed requiring that nongeneric drug and biologic manufacturers pay fees to be used for improvements in the drug review process.

Answer to Question 2

1,3,4
Rationale 1: Most drugs do not proceed past the preclinical research stage of development because they are found to be either too toxic or just ineffective.
Rationale 2: Client variability and potential drug-to-drug interactions are examined in Phase 3 of the clinical investigation process after Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
Rationale 3: The preclinical stage involves extensive testing on human, microbial cells, and animals to determine drug action and to predict whether the drug will cause harm to humans.
Rationale 4: Because lab tests cannot accurately predict human response to a drug, these results are always inconclusive.
Rationale 5: This extensive testing is done by the pharmaceutical company in the preclinical research stage of drug development, not the FDA.
