NRSG 2350 Final Exam Study Guide Questions With
Complete Solutions
Absorption Correct Answer The time of entry into the body to
the entry of the circulatory system
ACE Inhibitors Correct Answer Blocks conversion of
angiotension 1 to 2, = decreased vasonstriction and decreased
workload on heart, Name ends in PRIL, Monitor: Tachy, angina,
and HF
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Correct Answer NOT an anti-
inflammatory, used for mild to moderate pain relief and fever
reduction, Lacks anti-inflammatory effect, Safe for children,
Can cause hepatoxicity, Antidote = acetylcysteine
Aminoglycosides Correct Answer Very potent antibiotic,
Bactericidal, Kill G - aerobic bacilli (e. Coli), End in -mycin
Anti-epileptics in general - nursing focus Correct Answer
Increase GABA activity, Administer with food, Medic alert
bracelet, Monitor CBC & LFTs
Anti-Mycobacterials Correct Answer Mycobaterials =
pathogens that cause TB, For TB
Antihistamines Correct Answer drugs which treat allergic
rhinitis and other allergies. Typically people take antihistamines
as an inexpensive, generic, over-the-counter drug that can
provide relief from nasal congestion, sneezing, or hives caused
, by pollen, dust mites, or animal allergy with few side effects.
EX: Benadryl
Antitussives / codeine Correct Answer Dexomethorphan,
Codein, Robitussun and Benzonantate (Tessalon),Direct action
on medullary cough center on brain, Suppress coughing reflex
Arbs - antihypertensive Correct Answer ARBs (angiotension
II antagonist) blocks receptor on angiotension II = no
vasoconstriction, Allows angiotension II to be made but
prevents body response to it, Decrease vasoconstriction and
aldosterone secretion, Used with HF and Slow renal Dz.
Monitor Renal function & BP
Aspirin (Salicylates) Correct Answer Prevents platelet
aggregation and clotting, Anti-inflammatory/platelet inhibitor
Ativan (lorazepam) / Valium (diazepam) - benzodiazepine
Correct Answer Watch CNS if taken with EtOH
Baclofen Correct Answer Muscle relaxant, "BACK"lofent
Bactrim Correct Answer Sulfamethoxalone, Given for:
Bronchitis, UTI, diarrhea, pneumonia,
Beta blocker uses Correct Answer Acute MI, A-fib and
angina prevention
Beta blockers (metoprolol, atenolol, propranolol) Correct
Answer Inhibit SNS, Decrease contraction and rate and force
of heart, Decreases oxygen demand, Decrease blood pressure
