A pt with active HIV has been taking zidovudine (Retrovir). Which
potential adverse effect may limit the length of time this
medication can be taken? - ANSWER-Bone marrow suppression
-The major dose limiting adverse effect of zidovudine (Retrovir) is
bone marrow suppression, and this is often the reason a pt with
an HIV infection must be switched to another anti HIV drug
The nurse administers maraviroc (Selzentry) to a pt with HIV
infection. It is most important for the nurse to monitor which of the
following - ANSWER-Liver function tests
The antiretroviral drug maraviroc requires assessment of allergies
and liver function, as well as review of the list of meds the pt is
taking, because of the lengthy list of interacting drugs
When teaching a pts about treatment of viral infection with
acyclovir (Zovirax), which of the following statements will the
,2|Page
nurse include? - ANSWER-The drug is used mainly to suppress
the replication of HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV
When reviewing the antiviral meds oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and
Zanamivir (Relenza) used for treatment of the flu, which of the
following statements should the nurse include? - ANSWER-
Zanamivir is currently indicated only for treatment of active
influenza
-Zanamivir is currently indicated only for treatment of active
influenza. These drugs are active against influenza virus types A
and B. They have been shown to reduce the duration of influenza
infection by several days. The most commonly reported adverse
events with oseltamivir are nausea and vomiting
Which of the following drugs does the nurse include when

ANSWER-Ribavirin
Which statement should the nurse include when teaching the pt
about indinavir (Crixivan) therapy? - ANSWER-Pts taking the drug
should be encouraged to drink at least 48 ounces of liquid daily
, 3|Page
-Pts who take indinavir are encouraged to drink at least 48 oz of
liquid every day to maintain hydration and help avoid
nephrolithiasis. This drug is best dissolved and absorbed in an
acidic gastric environment, and the presence of high protein and
high fat foods reduces its absorption. Therefore, it is
recommended that it be administered in a fasting state. Indinavir
therapy produces increases in CD4 cell counts and significant
reductions in viral load
Which potential problem is of most concern for the pt receiving
immunosuppressant drugs - ANSWER-Increased susceptibility to
infections
-Neurotoxicity and edema may be a problem with some
immunosuppression (not orthostatic hypotension), but a
heightened susceptibility to opportunistic infections is a major risk
factor in immunosuppressed pts.
Major classes used to prevent organ rejection - ANSWER--
Glucocoricoids
-Calcineurin inhibitors
-Antimetabolites
