,Effectiveness - Correct answer-a drug that elicits the responses it was designed for.
Safety - Correct answer-a drug that cannot produce harmful effects
Selectivity - Correct answer-a drug that elicits only the response for which it is
given.
Additional Properties of an ideal drug - Correct answer-Reversible action,
predictability, ease of administration, freedom from drug interaction, low cost,
chemical stability, possession of a simple generic name
The Therapeutic Objective - Correct answer-To provide maximum benefit with
minimal harm
Pre administration Assessment includes.. - Correct answer-collecting baseline data,
identifying high-risk patients, assessing the patient's capacity for self-care.
5 Rights of drug administration - Correct answer-Right drug, Right patient, Right
route, Right dose, Right time.
Additional rights of drug administration - Correct answer-Right assessment, Right
documentation, Right evaluation, Right patient education, Patient's right to refuse.
Evaluating Therapeutic Responses - Correct answer-evaluation of the patient
before, during, and after treatment to ensure that treatment is or isn't working. Also
monitoring for toxicity/adverse effects

, Promoting Patient Adherence - Correct answer-Ensuring the patient is properly
educated about treatment, monitoring their ability for self-care, ensuring they have
access to necessary aspects of treatment.
Implementing Non-drug measures - Correct answer-Encouraging and educating
patients on treatment options other than drug therapy. Exercise, diet, PT,

Minimizing Adverse Effects requires the nurse to know... - Correct answer-The
major adverse effects possible of a drug, when these reactions are likely to occur,
early signs that and adverse effect is developing, interventions that can minimize
discomfort and harm.
Minimizing Adverse Interactions requires.. - Correct answer-taking a thorough
drug history(including supplements, herbals, illegals, etc.), advising the patient to
avoid OTCs, monitoring for adverse interactions known to occur with these
medications, and being alert for as-yet unknown interactions.
PRN decisions - Correct answer-A medication order in which the nurse has
discretion regarding when to give a drug and in some case, how much to give.
