Select all that apply. A) Administering the drug to the client B) Monitoring for therapeutic response C) Checking for drug–drug interactions D) Reporting adverse reactions E) Teaching the client information needed to administer drugs safely at home Ans: A, B, D, E Feedback: When a drug is prescribed to a client, the nurse is responsible for the administration of the drug, monitoring for therapeutic effects, reporting adverse drug reactions, and teaching the client information needed to administer the drug safely at home. A pharmacist checks for drug–drug interactions prior to dispensing a drug for administration. 2. A group of nursing students are reviewing the concept known as the five + 1 rights of drug administration. The group demonstrates understanding of this concept when they identify which of the following as being included? Select all that apply. A) Right documentation B) Right patient C) Right route D) Right drug E) Right prescriber Ans: A, B, C, D Feedback: The five + 1 rights of drug administration include the following: right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, right time, and right documentation. NN Introductory Clinical Pharmacology Test Bank for Roach's By Ford MN RN CNE, Susan M TEST BANK With Rationale Page 2 3. Prior to administering a prescribed drug, the nurse correctly identifies the client by which method? Select all that apply. A) Checking a client's name on his or her wristband B) Checking a client's chart C) Asking the client to identify himself or herself and give his or her birth date D) Asking a client if he or she is the correct client E) Using a current picture of the client if available Ans: A, C, E Feedback: Client identifiers can include visual and verbal methods. Visual methods include use of a recent picture of the client or client wristband. Verbal methods include asking the client for his or her name and another unique identifier, such as his or her birth date. Never ask a client, “Are you Mr. Jones?” because some clients may respond by answering “yes” even though that is not their name due to confusion or difficulty hearing. Checking the client's chart would be inappropriate to use for identifying the client. 4. When completing the check to ensure that the right drug is being administered to the client, which of the following should the nurse compare? Select all that apply. A) Medication B) Container label C) Medication record D) MAR E) Nursing notes Ans: A, B, C, D Feedback: The nurse compares the medication, container label, and medication record and then the MAR as the item is removed from the cart and before the actual administration of the drug. 5. A nurse is reviewing the order for a medication. Which of the following must be included? Select all that apply. A) Client's name B) Drug name C) Dosage form D) Route of administration E) Frequency of administration Ans: A, B, C, D, E Feedback: A primary health care provider's order must include the client's name, the drug name, the dosage form and route, the dosage to be administered, and the frequency of administration. NN Introductory Clinical Pharmacology Test Bank for Roach's By Ford MN RN CNE, Susan M TEST BANK With Rationale Page 3 6. When a primary health care provider phones in a medication order for a client, the nurse should do which of the following? Select all that apply. A) Write down the order. B) Record the order as soon as the MAR is retrieved. C) Repeat back the information exactly as written. D) Clarify any unclear information. E) Obtain verbal confirmation that the information is correct. Ans: A, C, D, E Feedback: If a verbal order is given over the telephone, the nurse writes down the order immediately, repeats back the information exactly as written, and then asks for a verbal confirmation that it is correct. Any order that is unclear should be questioned and clarified. 7. A nurse is preparing to administer a prescribed drug. Which information about the drug would be most important for the nurse to know? Select all that apply. A) Normal dosage range B) Special precautions in administration C) Drug's most common adverse effects D) Drug's general action E) Reason for use of the drug Ans: A, B, C, D, E Feedback: The nurse must have factual knowledge of each drug given, the reason for use of the drug, the drug's general action, the more common adverse reactions associated with the drug, special precautions in administration (if any), and the normal dose ranges. 8. A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client and notes the various orders for drug therapy. Which of the following would the nurse most likely expect to find? Select all that apply. A) Standing order B) STAT order C) Single order D) Alternate order E) PRN order Ans: A, B, C, E Feedback: Common orders given by health care providers for drug therapy include the standing order, the single order, the PRN order, and the STAT ordter 1-54 | Complete Guide Newest Version 2023

Pharmacology is the study of drugs and their action on living organisms. Thus, an v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




essential aspect of pharmacology is drug action. An understanding of the drug name,
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




drug class, and drug source is important, but the most critical aspect related to
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




pharmacology is how the drug acts in the body.
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1

v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




best choice for obtaining this information? Select all that apply.
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




A) Nursing instructor v1




B) Nurse assigned to the patient v1 v1 v1 v1




C) Clinical drug reference v1 v1




D) Prescribing health care provider v1 v1 v1




E) Clinical pharmacist v1




ANSWER: C, E
v1 v1 v1




Feedback:
Although the nursing student can ask the nursing instructor, the nurse assigned to the
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




patient, and the prescribing health care provider for information about the drug, the best
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




choices for drug information would include an appropriate drug reference and the
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




clinical pharmacist.

3. When describing the various types of medications to a group of nursing students, a
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




nursing instructor would identify which of the following as a source for deriving
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




medications? Select all that apply.
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




A) Plants
B) Synthetic sources v1




C) Mold
D) Minerals
E) Animals
ANSWER: A, B,
v1 v1 v1




C, D, EFeedback:
v1 v1 v1 v1




Medications are derived from natural sources, for example, plants, molds, minerals, and
v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1 v1




animals, as well as created synthetically in a laboratory.
