The nurse identifies which drug as a short-acting tetracycline?
Sumycin
Declomycin
Vibramycin
Minocin

, Sumycin is a short-acting tetracycline. Declomycin is an intermediate-acting
tetracycline, and Vibramycin and Minocin are long-acting tetracyclines.
The nurse identifies which class of anticancer drugs as used most often in the
treatment of patients?
Targeted drugs
Cytotoxic drugs
Immunomodulating agents
Biologic response modifiers

Of the four major classes of anticancer drugs, the cytotoxic agents are
used most often.
A nurse obtains a specimen from which body fluid when performing the
QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G) test for latent tuberculosis?
Saliva
Blood
Urine
Sputum
Give this one a try later!
The specimen for the QFT-G test is obtained from blood, not from saliva,
urine, or sputum. It is a new test for latent TB and is as sensitive as the
tuberculin skin test and more specific. The results are available within 24
hours, and unlike with the skin test, a follow-up visit to a healthcare
provider's office is not required.
,Which enteral aminoglycoside would the nurse expect to be ordered preoperatively
for a patient having intestinal surgery?
Gentamicin
Tobramycin
Amikacin
Neomycin
Give this one a try later!
In general, aminoglycosides are poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal
(GI) tract. Neomycin is given orally to suppress bowel flora before surgery
of the intestine and is not used parenterally because of its high
nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Gentamicin, tobramycin, and amikacin are
administered parenterally only.
Vincristine [Oncovin] is prescribed for a patient with bladder
cancer. The nurse will teach the patient that a common adverse effect of the
medication is what?
A. Peripheral neuropathies
B. Hair loss
C. Nausea and vomiting
D. Bone marrow suppression

A high tissue growth fraction allows chemotherapeutic medications to be more toxic
to tissues in which phases of the cell cycle? (Select all that apply.)
S
, G1
G0
M
G2
Give this one a try later!
Active phases of the cell cycle in which mitotic division are carried out are
G1, S, G2, and M. Cells that enter G0 become mitotically dormant (resting)
and are not active participants in the cell cycle. Cytotoxic agents are more
active against proliferating cells than they are against cells in G0. The ratio
of proliferating cells to G0 cells is called the growth fraction. A tissue with a
large percentage of proliferating cells and few cells in G0 has a high
growth fraction.
Which statements about vancomycin (Vancocin) does the nurse identify as true?
(Select all that apply.)
Vancomycin is the most widely used antibiotic in U.S. hospitals.
Vancomycin is effective in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection.
Vancomycin is effective in the treatment of MRSA infections.
Patients who are allergic to penicillin are also allergic to vancomycin.
The major toxicity of vancomycin therapy is liver failure.

Patients who are allergic to penicillin are able to take vancomycin. The
major toxicity of vancomycin therapy is kidney failure. The other three
statements are true
A patient who is receiving cefotetan (Cefotan) has all of these medications ordered.
The nurse monitors the patient for an adverse effect related to an interaction with
which medication?
Regular insulin
