Question:
A nurse is reviewing a client's medical record before
administering medication. Which factors can alter the client's
physiologic response to the drug? Select all that apply. Age
Gender Ability to swallow pills Weight Genetic factors

Answer:
Age Gender Genetic factors Physiologic response to drugs
refers to a client·s ability to absorb, metabolize, and excrete the
medication. These are affected by factors such as age,
genetics, and gender. A client·s ability to swallow pills,
although it may determine the way a drug is administered,
does not affect the physiologic response. Height does not

,affect response. Weight and the distribution of adipose tissue
can affect the distribution of drugs, not the client's
physiologic response.

used to guide professional nursing practice. The nursing
process consists of five steps, including which of the
following? Select all that apply. Assessment Planning
Evaluation Implementation Medical diagnosis

Answer:

process consists of five steps: assessment, nursing diagnosis,

the following? Select all that apply. Medical diagnosis
Socioeconomic status Statement of human need Attention to
the differences in human need fulfillment or alteration

other data to support human need

Answer:

human need fulfillment or alteration occurring List of cues,
clues, evidence, signs, symptoms, or other data to support
human need The nursing diagnosis is a human need statement
(part one) with attention to the differences in human need
fulfillment or alteration occurring (part 2) as evidenced by a

, listing of cues, clues, evidence, signs, symptoms, or other data
to support the human need statement (part 3). A medical
diagnosis and socioeconomic status are not part of the nursing
diagnosis.


Question:
Nursing Process and Drug Therapy: Assessment:

Answer:
Applying the nursing process, the first step in medication
administration is assessment. The nurse begins the process
with the six rights of medication administration after having
reviewed the medication in a current drug manual. Additional
considerations would include client health status, culture, vital
signs, lab values, diagnostic tests, and allergies.


Question:
Nursing Process and Drug Therapy: Nursing Diagnosis:

Answer:
After the nurse obtains the client data during the assessment
step, a nursing diagnosis would be selected from the approved
North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA,
2021) list. Remember, the nursing diagnosis incorporates
three parts: Part 1, nursing diagnosis: knowledge deficit; Part
2, "related to" or R/T: prescription for new medication; Part 3,
"as evidenced by" or AEB: client states, "I have never taken
this medication before." A complete nursing diagnosis will
have all three of these components and should come together
like this: Knowledge deficit related to prescription for new
medication as evidenced by client stating, "I have never taken
this medication before."
