SNYDER QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS LATEST UPDATE 2023/2024 ALL ANSWERS 100% CORRECT Chapter 01: The Nursing Process and Drug Therapy MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. During an intravenous (IV) infusion of amphotericin B, a patient develops tingling and numbnessin his toes and fingers. What will the nurse do first? a. Discontinue the infusion immediately. b. Reduce the infusion rate gradually until the adverse effects subside. c. Administer the medication by rapid IV infusion to reduce these effects. d. Nothing; these are expected side effects of this medication. ANS: A Once the intravenous infusion of amphotericin B has begun, vital signs must be monitored frequently to assess for adverse reactions such as cardiac dysrhythmias, visual disturbances, paresthesias (numbness or tingling of the hands or feet), respiratory difficulty, pain, fever, chills,and nausea. If these adverse effects or a severe reaction occur, the infusion must be discontinued(while the patient is closely monitored) and the prescriber contacted. The other options are incorrect. DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: Applying (Application)TOP: NURSING PROCESS: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity: Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies The nurse is writing a nursing diagnosis for a plan of care for a patient who has been newlydiagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which statement reflects the correct format for a nursing diagnosis? a. Anxiety b. Anxiety related to new drug therapy c. Anxiety related to anxious feelings about drug therapy, as evidenced by statements such as “I’m upset about having to test my blood sugars.” d. Anxiety related to new drug therapy, as evidenced by statements such as “I’m upset about having to test my blood sugars.” ANS: D Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-step process. “Anxiety” is missing the “related to” and “as evidenced by” portions of defining characteristics. “Anxiety related to new drug therapy” is missing the “as evidenced by” portion of defining characteristics. The statementbeginning “Anxiety related to anxious feelings” is incorrect because the “related to” section is simply a restatement of the problem “anxiety,” not a separate factor related to the response. DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: Understanding (Comprehension)TOP: NURSING PROCESS: Nursing Diagnosis MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care 2.

DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: Applying (Application)TOP: NURSING PROCESS: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Safety and Infection Control 3. The nurse has been monitoring the patient’s progress on a new drug regimen since the first doseand documenting the patient’s therapeutic response to the medication. Which phase of the nursing processed these actions illustrate? a. Nursing diagnosis b. Planning c. Implementatio n d.

The patient will demonstrate correct blood glucose testing technique. ANS: D “Demonstrating correct blood glucose testing technique” is a specific and measurable outcome criterion. “Following instructions” and “not experiencing complications” are not specific criteria.“Adhering to new regimen” would be difficult to measure.

Contact the prescriber to clarify the route of the medication ordered. d. Hold the medication until the prescriber returns to make rounds. ANS: C A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a medication order does notinclude the route, the nurse must ask the prescriber to clarify it. The intravenous and oral routes are not interchangeable. Holding the medication until the prescriber returns would mean that thepatient would not receive a needed medication. DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: Applying (Application)TOP: NURSING PROCESS: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care 7.
