UNIT 2 TEST EXAM:
PHARMACOLOGY FOR THE
SURGICAL TECHNOLOGIST,
2025/2026 WITH
CORRECT/ACCURATE ANSWERS
A series of test used to identify disease-causing microorganisms
and to determine their susceptibility to various antibiotics is
called - CORRECT ANSWERS- b. culture and sensitivity
which drug is classified as a loop diuretic medication and is used
to decrease intracranial pressure? - CORRECT ANSWERS- lasix
what cardiac condition requires treatment with diuretics -
CORRECT ANSWERS- congestive heart failure
(hearts inability to pump blood, diuetucs lower blood volume
which leads to less blood for heart to pump so it doesnt have to
work so hard)
which diuretic is contraindicated in patients with hypertension -
CORRECT ANSWERS- osmotic
(osmotic actually increases BP by drawing fluids from tissues into
circulatory system by osmosis)
,which electrolyte may be seriously depleted in patients taking
certain diuretics - CORRECT ANSWERS- potassium
( because serum potassium levels are narrow 3.5-5 mEq/L)
diuretics cause the elimination of excess fluid by preventing
reabsorption of - CORRECT ANSWERS- sodium
which medication is a loop diuretic - CORRECT ANSWERS- lasix
Hydrochlororthiazide is which type of diuretic medication? -
CORRECT ANSWERS- thiazide
the only diuretic administered from the sterile back table is -
CORRECT ANSWERS- mannitol
mineraks made up of electrically charged particles held together
by ionic bonds in the body are called - CORRECT ANSWERS-
electrolytes
how are electrolytes acquired - CORRECT ANSWERS- through
food and water
how many nephrons are present within the kindneys - CORRECT
ANSWERS- millions
, a process of forcing fluids and solutes through a membrane by
pressure is called - CORRECT ANSWERS- filtration
what substance undergoes tubular reabsorption in the proximal
convoluted tubule? - CORRECT ANSWERS- filtrate
(filtrate undergoes reabsorption in the ptoximal convoluted tubule
and the ascending and descending lips of the loop of henle
what is the primary concern for a nonemergency surgical patients
with low potassium - CORRECT ANSWERS- cardiac arrest
(low potassium may cause arrhythmias which can increase
chance of cardiac arrest)
Anesthesia care providers may administer diuretics short-term
therapy for all of the following reasons except
a. reduce intraocular pressure
b. reduced liver failure
c. reduced intracranial pressure
d. protect kidney function - CORRECT ANSWERS- B
steroidal hormones that promote male characteristics are -
CORRECT ANSWERS- androgens
