Feedback
A Partially synthesized refers to medications made by adding a pure chemical to a

natural substance. +f
B Pharmacogenetics is the study of individual candidate genes as powerful tools to +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
explain interindividual variability in drug response.
+f +f +f +f +f
C Totally synthesized refers to medications made by combining two or more pure c

hemicals to produce a new substance that could be used as a medication.

2. A client has been prescribed diuretic therapy to treat fluid volume excess and wants to kno

w if any dietary modifications are necessary. Which of the following responses by the nur

a. “There is no need for any dietary modification as long as you eat a well-

balanced diet.” +f
b. “As long as you take the medication as prescribed, there should be no dietar

+f +f
c. “I need to verify the medication order in order to provide you with information.”

e all fluid losses.”
+f +f +f
ANS: +f+f C
Feedback
A There are several types of diuretic medications that have different mechanisms
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
of action; therefore, this statement is not accurate. It is critical to know the
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
specific type of diuretic therapy that is prescribed in order to provide a logical re
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
sponse.
B Diuretic therapy is aimed at fluid reduction, and depending on the type of diur
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
etic therapy, electrolyte loss can also occur. This takes place based on the mec
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
hanism of action for the prescribed therapy. This is not an accurate statement.
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
C The nurse should verify the medication order to find out what type of diuretic the
+f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f +f
rapy has been prescribed. For example, furosemide is a loop diuretic that
