NSG124 Module 4
When fluid accumulates in the alveoli or interstitial tissue,diffusion, particularly of oxygen, is
significantly impaired - ANS True
Drug therapy is highly effective in COPD, but not asthma - ANS False
In children, the benefits of beta adrenergic agonist and anticholinergic drugs typically outweigh
the risks - ANS False
Which of the following are indications for laxative use - ANS -soften stool to decrease painful
elimination
-prevent fecal impactions in bed ridden patients
-Appropriate when used in conjunction with fiber and fluid to decrease constipation
constipation is the most common GI disorder - ANS True
Antidiarrheal agents - ANS Used to relieve cramping and number of unformed stools
diarrhea - ANS Excessive stool volume fluidity, and increased frequency of defecation
Chemoreceptors trigger zone (CTZ) - ANS Activates the vomiting center
motion sickness - ANS Caused by sea, air, automobile, or space travel
Patient taking beta blockers should take the medication every other night and occasionally in
the morning - ANS False
patient taking an oral beta adrenergic agonist should take the medication on a PRN basis only -
ANS False
pancreatic enzymes - ANS Secured by duodenum where they help to digest fat, carbohydrates,
and proteins
Palifermin - ANS Therapeutically decreases oral mucositis associated with cancer
chemotherapy.
irretable bowel syndrome - ANS Gastrointestinal disorder characterized by cramps abdominal
pain with diarrhea, constipation, or both. Pain may be severe
inflammatory bowel disease - ANS Consist of two forms: chron's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Both include inflammation and produce abdominal cramping and diarrhea
, Prokinetic Agents - ANS Drugs used to increase the tone and motility of the gastrointestinal
tract.
peptic ulcer defensive factors - ANS -mucus
-bicarbonate
-blood flow
-prostaglandin
Peptic Ulcer Disease - ANS -characterized by varying degrees of erosion of the gut wall
-Group of upper GI disorders

-pepsin
chronic pulmonary disease - ANS -excessive sputum production
-exercise intolerance
-chronic, progressively, largely irreversible
Asthma - ANS -Feeling tightness of the chest
-chronic inflammatory airways disorder
-feeling of breathlessness
Anticholinergic drugs - ANS -block muscarinic receptors in the bronchi, reducing
bronchoconstriction
COPD - ANS Treatment goal is to reduce symptoms
Anti-inflammatory drugs - ANS Includes inhaled glucocorticoids and are the foundation of
asthma and COPD therapy
Beta2-Adrenergic Agonists - ANS Medications, that when used in excess, produce dangerous
adverse effects such as tachydysrhythmias, angina, and seizures
A patient who has a history of asthma is experiencing an acute episode of shortness of breath
and needs to take a medication for immediate relief. The nurse will choose: - ANS An inhaler
