important for the nurse to monitor?
A. Loss of consciousness.
B. Hangover effects and dependence.
C. Hypotension and headaches.
D. Excitement and delirium. Correct Answer C
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Correct Answer inhibits warfarin
(Coumadin) metabolism. Concomitant use of these two
medications could result in a toxic accumulation of warfarin
(Coumadin).
Adverse effect Correct Answer is something we do not expect
while side effect is expected
All centrally acting agents like Flexeril (a centrally acting
muscle relaxer) Correct Answer have the potential to cause
sedation/drowsiness.The exact mechanism by which skeletal
muscle relaxants work is notfully understood. It is believed that
they inhibit upper motor neuron activity, causing CNS
depression
An alternate option for patients that are taking aspirin Correct
Answer if having GI symptoms is to use the enteric coated
aspirin.
, ASA (aspirin) Correct Answer Salicylism: Tinnitus, dizziness,
headache and excessive perspiration
Aspirin must be withdrawn Correct Answer at least 1 week
before surgery. Aspirin cannot be continued as scheduled,
because the risk for bleeding is too great.
Bisphosphonates such as Alendronate Correct Answer requires
that the nurse educate patient to take the medication on empty
stomach, with a full glass of water and they must sit upright for
at least 30 minutes after taking the medication.
Chronic pain Correct Answer can not easily be detected, as
patients will not always show it overtly. You may also not see
any changes in vital signs. Nevertheless, the nurse is still
responsible for reporting and addressing the pain with
appropriate interventions.
Classification of opiods Correct Answer Buprenorphine is mu
partial agonist + kappa antagonist that is used as a treatment
strategy for addiction.
Dosage Calculations Formulas Correct Answer D/H xQ
V (ml)/T (hr)= Rate in Ml/hr
gr = grain. = 65 mg
Please review roman numerals since that is how your grain order
will be> Example: gr V- grain 5 = 5 x 65mg = 325mg
