MULTIPLE’CHOICE

1. The’nurse’is’teaching’a’patient’how’a’medication’works’to’treat’an’illness.’To’do’this,’the’n
urse’will’rely’on’knowledge’of:
a. clinical’pharmacology.
b. drug’efficacy.
c. pharmacokinetics.
d. pharmacotherapeutics.
ANS:’ D
Pharmacotherapeutics’is’the’study’of’the’use’of’drugs’to’diagnose,’treat,’and’prevent’conditions
.’Clinical’pharmacology’is’concerned’with’all’aspects’of’drug–
human’interactions.’Drug’efficacy’measures’the’extent’to’which’a’given’drug’causes’an’intende
d’effect.
Pharmacokinetics’is’the’study’of’the’impact’of’the’body’on’a’drug.

2. What’does’it’mean’when’a’drug’is’described’as’easy’to’administer?
a. It’can’be’stored’indefinitely’without’need’for’refrigeration.
b. It’does’not’interact’significantly’with’other’medications.
c. It’enhances’patient’adherence’to’the’drug’regimen.
d. It’is’usually’relatively’inexpensive’to’produce.
ANS:’ C
A’major’benefit’of’drugs’that’are’easy’to’administer’is’that’patients’taking’them’are’more’likely’t
o’comply’with’the’drug’regimen.’Drugs’that’are’easy’to’give’may’have’the’other’attributes’liste
d,’but’those’properties’are’independent’of’ease’of’administration.

3. A’patient’tells’the’nurse’that’he’was’told’by’the’prescriber’that’the’analgesic’he’is’taking’is’ver
y’effective.’Which’statement’by’the’patient’demonstrates’an’understanding’of’the’drug’s’effec
tiveness?
a. “I’don’t’have’to’worry’about’toxicity,’since’it’takes’a’large’amount’of’this’drug’to’ca
use’an’overdose.”
b. “It’has’no’side’effects’and’doesn’t’interact’with’other’drugs.”
c. “I’only’have’to’take’it’every’12’hours.”
d. “It’might’make’me’sleepy,’and’it’lessens’pain’for’several’hours’at’a’time.”
ANS:’ D

, A’drug’is’effective’if’it’produces’the’intended’effects,’even’if’it’also’produces’side’effects.’Beca
use’no’drug’is’completely’safe,’the’level’of’toxicity’does’not’determine’effectiveness.’All’drugs’h
ave’side’effects’and’many’react’with’other’substances;’these’do’not’affect’the’drug’s’effectivene
ss.’Ease’of’administration’is’independent’of’a’drug’s’effectiveness.

MULTIPLE’RESPONSE

1. What’are’the’properties’of’an’ideal’drug?’(Select’all’that’apply.)
a. Irreversible’action
b. Predictability
c. Ease’of’administration
d. Chemical’stability
e. A’simple’trade’name

ANS:’ B,’C,’D
In’addition’to’predictability,’ease’of’administration,’and’chemical’stability,’other’properties’inc
lude’a’reversible’action’so’that’any’harm’the’drug’may’cause’can’be’undone’and’a’simple’generi
c’name,’because’generic’names’are’usually’complex’and’difficult’to’remember’and’pronounce.

2. Before’administering’a’medication,’what’does’the’nurse’need’to’know’to’evaluate’how
individual’patient’variability’might’affect’the’patient’s’response’to’the’medication?’(Select’all’t
hat’apply.)
a. Chemical’stability’of’the’medication
b. Ease’of’administration
c. Family’medical’history
d. Patient’s’age
e. Patient’s’diagnosis
ANS:’ C,’D,’E
The’family’medical’history’can’indicate’genetic’factors’that’may’affect’a’patient’s’response’to’a’
medication.’Patients’of’different’ages’can’respond’differently’to’medications.’The’patient’s’illne
ss’can’affect’how’drugs’are’metabolized.’The’chemical’stability’of’the’medication’and’the’ease’o
f’administration’are’properties’of’drugs.

MULTIPLE’CHOICE

1. A’patient’is’using’a’metered-
dose’inhaler’containing’albuterol’for’asthma.’The’medication’label’instructs’the’patient’to’a
dminister’“2’puffs’every’4’hours’as’needed’for’coughing’or
wheezing.”‘The’patient’reports’feeling’jittery’sometimes’when’taking’the’medication,’and’she’doesn’
t’feel’that’the’medication’is’always’effective.’Which’is’not’an’appropriate’nursing’intervention’for’th
is’patient?
a. Asking’the’patient’to’demonstrate’use’of’the’inhaler
b. Assessing’the’patient’s’exposure’to’tobacco’smoke
c. Auscultating’lung’sounds’and’obtaining’vital’signs
d. Suggesting’that’the’patient’use’one’puff’to’reduce’side’effects

ANS:’ D
It’is’not’within’the’nurse’s’scope’of’practice’to’change’the’dose’of’a’medication’without’an’orde
r’from’a’prescriber.’Asking’the’patient’to’demonstrate’inhaler’use’helps’the’nurse’to
evaluate’the’patient’s’ability’to’administer’the’medication’properly’and’is’part’of’the’nurse’s’evaluati
on.’Assessing’tobacco’smoke’exposure’helps’the’nurse’determine’whether’nondrug’therapies,’such’a
’smoke’avoidance,’can’be’used’as’an’adjunct’to’drug’therapy.’Performing’a’physical’assessment’help
s’the’nurse’evaluate’the’patient’s’response’to’the’medication.

2. A’postoperative’patient’is’being’discharged’home’with’acetaminophen/hydrocodone’(Lortab)’f
or’pain.’The’patient’asks’the’nurse’about’using’Tylenol’for’fever.’Which’statement’by’the’nurs
e’is’correct?
a. “It’is’not’safe’to’take’over-the-counter’drugs’with’prescription’medications.”
b. “Taking’the’two’medications’together’poses’a’risk’of’drug’toxicity.”
c. “There’are’no’known’drug’interactions,’so’this’will’be’safe.”
d. “Tylenol’and’Lortab’are’different’drugs,’so’there’is’no’risk’of’overdose.”

ANS:’ B
Tylenol’is’the’trade’name’and’acetaminophen’is’the’generic’name’for’the’same’medication.’It’is’i
mportant’to’teach’patients’to’be’aware’of’the’different’names’for’the’same’drug’to’minimize’the’ri
sk’of’overdose.’Over-the-
counter’(OTC)’medications’and’prescription’medications’may’be’taken’together’unless’significa
nt’harmful’drug’interactions’are’possible.’Even’though’no’drug’interactions’are’at’play’in’this’cas
e,’both’drugs’contain’acetaminophen,’which’could’lead’to’toxicity.
