What is the main purpose of the evaluation phase of the nursing process?
(a) To analyze the patient's symptoms
(b) To obtain objective data from the patient
(c) To determine if patient outcomes are met
(d) To determine the best interventions for the patient
(c) To determine if patient outcomes are met
The main purpose of the evaluation phase of the nursing process is to determine the
success of patient outcomes. The conclusions drawn during evaluation provide the
basis for modifying nursing interventions and the drug regimen. The nurse may need
to assess patient needs and revise the nursing interventions if patient outcomes are
not met. The nurse analyzes the patient's symptoms during the nursing diagnosis
phase. The nurse determines the best interventions for the patient during the
planning phase. The nurse obtains objective data from the patient during the
assessment phase.
The nurse is teaching a patient about the prescribed drugs to be taken after
discharge. What should the nurse teach about oral drugs?
"Stress accelerates gastric emptying time."
"Eat a high-fat meal before taking the medication."
"Do not take the medication immediately after exercise."
"Hunger and fasting hasten the drug absorption process."
"Do not take the medication immediately after exercise."
Exercise decreases blood flow to the stomach by causing more blood to flow to the
peripheral muscles. Poor circulation to the stomach may delay absorption of the
drug. Stress can slow gastric emptying time, so the drug is retained in the stomach

for a longer duration. Hunger and fasting delay drug absorption, whereas food can
stimulate the production of gastric acid. A high-fat meal slows gastric emptying time.
A nurse is educating a patient who is prescribed warfarin. The nurse advises
the patient to avoid taking aspirin and explains that taking both drugs together
may cause a phenomenon called increased adverse effects, which would
result in which outcome?
(a) Excessive bleeding
(b) Formation of blood clots
(c) Increase in saliva production
(d) Decrease in total urine output
(a) Excessive bleeding
An increased adverse effect, or an additive effect, is said to be present when two
drugs with similar actions are administered together. When given together, warfarin
and aspirin can have additive effects and cause excessive bleeding. Decreased
urine output, increased saliva production, and formation of blood clots are not
manifestations of an increased adverse effect when aspirin and warfarin are taken
concurrently.
Which of these refers to the study of how the administration of a drug
influences cell physiology?
(a) Pharmacology
(b) Pharmacokinetics
(c) Pharmacodynamics
(d) Pharmacotherapeutics
(c) Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacodynamics studies what drugs do to the body (i.e., how they influence
cellular physiology). Pharmacokinetics is the study of what the body does to a drug.
Pharmacotherapeutics refers to the study of the therapeutic use of drugs.
Pharmacology is the study of drugs.
