Graded A+
Which patients are at increased risk for adverse drug events? (Select
all that apply.)
a. A 2-month-old infant taking a medication for gastroesophageal
reflux disease
b. A 23-year-old female taking an antibiotic for the first time
c. A 40-year-old male who is intubated in the intensive care unit and
taking antibiotics and cardiac medications
d. A 7-year-old female receiving insulin for diabetes
e. An 80-year-old male taking medications for COPD - Answer
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 - Answer
The prescriber has ordered an antibiotic for a patient with a bacterial
infection. The nurse provides patient education at discharge and
instructs the patient to take the drug on an empty stomach. When
should the patient take the drug? (Select all that apply.)
a. 1 hour or more before a meal
b. Only after an 8-hour fast
c. Only after the patient has missed a meal
d. At least 2 hours after a meal
e. Shortly before a meal - Answer
"Unresponsiveness to feedback mechanisms that control cellular
growth in healthy tissue" describes which of these characteristic of
cancer cells? - Answer Persistent proliferation is a
characteristic of malignancy in which cells are able to continue
multiplying under conditions that would suppress further growth and
division of normal cells. Invasive growth describes a condition in which
malignant cells are free of constraints that inhibit invasion to adjacent
tissue. Metastases arise when malignant cells form in areas distant
from the site of origin to form new cancers. Telomerase is an enzyme,
and its activity allows for infinite cellular divisions in cancer cells. This
activity is rarely expressed in normal cells.
A nurse is caring for a patient who has thrombocytopenia after
chemotherapy. Which action should the nurse take?
, Take the pulse before and after activity.
Administer a colony-stimulating factor.
Obtain blood cultures and then begin antibiotic therapy.
Use minimal cuff inflation when taking the blood pressure. - Answer
Thrombocytopenia, a reduction in circulating
platelets, increases the risk for bleeding. Routine procedures such as
blood pressure readings should be performed with care and only as
needed. because overinflation of the cuff may cause bruising. Taking
the pulse before and after activity may be done to assess a patient's
response to anemia. Administering a colony-stimulating factor and
obtaining blood cultures are appropriate nursing actions for a patient
with neutropenia.
Which statement explains why cancer treatment is more effective
when multiagent chemotherapy is used?
Drug resistance occurs less frequently.
The intervals between dosages are shorter.
Normal cell repopulation is not necessary.
The effect occurs during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. - Answer
Multiagent chemotherapy can suppress drug
resistance, which is acquired through random mutational events. The
probability of a cell undergoing the single mutation needed for
resistance to one agent is greater than that of the cell undergoing two
or more mutations and developing resistance to a combination of
agents. Normal cell repopulation is needed for most
chemotherapeutic agents, regardless of whether they are used alone
or in combination. The intervals between dosages also depend on
