MULTIPLE |CHOICE
1. You |are |assessing |the |skin |of |a |newly |admitted |patient |and |note |a |2 |inch |area |of |redness |at
the|sacrum. |Which |type |of |data |are | you |collecting |with |this |information?
|
a. Objective |data
b. Inspection
c. Subjective |data
d. Alternative |therapy
ANS: | A
Objective |data |are |obtained |by|the |healthcare |provider |during |physical |examination, |or |that
|are|measurable |(i.e., |laboratory |results).
DIF: Cognitive |Level: |Applying REF: |p. |3
2. Which |part |of |the |nursing |process |includes |setting |goals |for |the |nursing |care |required
when|giving |drugs |to |a |patient?
|
a. Assessment
b. Planning
c. Evaluation
d. Diagnosis
ANS: | B
The |nursing |process |consists |of |five |major |steps |in |this |order: |assessment, |diagnosis,
|planning,|implementation, |evaluation. |It |is |in |the |planning |step |that |the |goals |for |nursing |care
|related |to |drugs |are |set |based |upon | data |collected.
DIF: Cognitive |Level: |Remembering REF: |p. |4
3. When |would |it |be |appropriate |to |withhold |a |drug |instead |of |giving |it |to |a |patient?
a. When |the |order |is |written |by|hand
b. When |any |part |of |the |drug |order |is |unclear
c. When |the |drug |improves |the |patient’s |symptoms
d. When |the |order |contains |both |the |generic |and |trade |name |of |the |drug
ANS: | B
You |must |use |good |judgment |in |carrying |out |a |drug |order. |If, |in |your |judgment, |the |order |is
|unclear, |or |incorrect, |it |should |be |withheld |(not |given) |until | your |concerns |can |be |answered
|by|the |patient’s |healthcare |provider.
DIF: Cognitive |Level: |Applying REF: |p. |4
4. Which |action |would |you |take |to |ensure |that |an |order |for |a |drug |is |accurate?
a. Check |the |drug |record |with |the |Kardex |file.
b. Compare |the |order |with |the |drug |history.
c. Compare |the |order |to |the |patient’s |reason |for |admission.
d. Check |the |drug |record |with |the |original |healthcare |provider’s |order.
, ANS: | D
Once |the |healthcare |provider |orders |the |drug, | you | must |verify |that |the |order |is |accurate. |This |is
|done |by |checking |the |drug |chart |or |drug |record |with |the |healthcare |provider’s |original |order.
DIF: Cognitive |Level: |Remembering REF: |p. |4
5. What |do |the |nine |“rights” |of |drug |administration |include?
a. Right |patient, |drug, |dose, |route, |time, |reason, |documentation, |response, |and |right
to|refuse
|
b. Right |drug, |diagnosis, |time, |patient, |route, |drug |history, |documents, |and |right
|to|refuse
c. Right |drug, |amount, |route, |time, |nurse, |reason, |route, |diagnosis, |and |documentation
d. Right |dose, |time, |healthcare |provider, |patient, |route, |documentation, |response,
|and|drug
ANS: | A
There |are |nine |“rights” |of |drug |administration: |you |must |identify |the |right |patient, |give |the|right
|drug |at |the |right |dose, |right |route, |right |time, |for |the |right |reason, |using |the |right |documentation
|to |record |that |the |dose |has |been |given, |monitor |the |patient |for |the |right |response, |and |note |that
|the |patient |has |the |right |to |refuse |a |drug.
DIF: Cognitive |Level: |Remembering REF: |p. |5
6. Which |action |should |you |take |to |ensure |that | you |are |giving |a |drug |to |the |right |patient?
a. Verifying |the |drug |record |with |the |patient |name |on |the |chart
b. Verifying |the |patient’s |room |and |bed |number |with |the |chart
c. Asking |the |patient |to |state |his |or |her |birthdate |and |Social |Security |number
d. Asking |the |patient |to |state |their |name |and |birthdate, |and |then |checking |the
patients|identification |bracelet
|
ANS: | D
Before |giving |any |drug, |two |forms |of |patient |identifications |should |be |used |to |identify |the
|correct |patient. |Each |patient |should |be |asked |his |or |her |name, |and |another |form |of
|identification, |such |as |birthdate; |then |you |should |check |the |patient’s |identification |bracelet.
DIF: Cognitive |Level: |Applying REF: |p. |5
7. Which |category |of |drugs |should |be |given |exactly |on |schedule |in |order |to |maintain |a
consistent|level |of |the |drug |in |the |body?
|
a. Steroids
b. Diuretics
c. Aspirin |products
d. Anticoagulants
ANS: | D
Certain |drugs |must |be |given |at |specific |time |interval |(right |time). |Anticoagulants |must |be |given
|at |the |same |time |each |day |to |maintain |a |therapeutic |blood |level |in |order |to |prevent |blood|clots.
DIF: Cognitive |Level: |Applying REF: |p. |7
