NURSING PHARMACOLOGY)
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
VERIFIED LATEST 2023-2024 GRADE A +
aerobic - CORRECT ANSWER >>bacteria that depend on oxygen
for survival
anaerobic - CORRECT ANSWER >>bacteria that survive without
oxygen, which are often
seen when blood flow is cut off to an area of the body
antibiotic - CORRECT ANSWER >>chemical that is able to inhibit
the growth of specific
bacteria or cause the death of susceptible bacteria
gram-negative - CORRECT ANSWER >>bacteria that accept a
negative stain and are
frequently associated with infections of the genitourinary or GI
tract
gram-positive - CORRECT ANSWER >>bacteria that take a
positive stain and are frequently associated with infections of the
respiratory tract and soft tissues
synergistic - CORRECT ANSWER >>drugs that work together to
increase drug effectiveness
Prototype of Aminoglycosides - CORRECT ANSWER
>>Gentamicin
, Indications of Gentamicin:
(Prototype of Aminoglycosides) - CORRECT ANSWER
>>Treatment of serious infections caused by
susceptible bacteria.
Actions of Gentamicin:
(Prototype of Aminoglycosides) - CORRECT ANSWER >>Inhibits
protein synthesis in susceptible strains of gram-negative bacteria,
disrupting functional integrity of the cell membrane and causing
cell death.
Adverse Effects of Gentamicin:
(Prototype of Aminoglycosides) - CORRECT ANSWER
>>Sinusitis, dizziness, rash, fever, risk of !nephrotoxicity and
hearing loss (ototoxicity)!
Prototype of Carbapenems - CORRECT ANSWER >>Ertapenem
Indications of Ertapenem:
(Prototype of Carbapenems) - CORRECT ANSWER >>New class
of bactericidal, broad-spectrum antibiotics
Treatment of community-acquired pneumonia, complicated
genitourinary infections, complicated intra-abdominal infections,
skin and skin- structure infections, and acute pelvic infections
caused by susceptible bacteria
Actions of Ertapenem:
(Prototype of Carbapenems) - CORRECT ANSWER >>Inhibits
protein synthesis in susceptible strains of gram-positive and
gram-negative bacteria, disrupting functional integrity of the cell
membrane and causing cell death.
