300 Exam-Style Questions with Verified Answers
and Rationales
Qn 1. A patient with heart failure is prescribed digoxin. Which electrolyte imbalance
increases the risk of digoxin toxicity?
A A. Hyperkalemia
B B. Hypokalemia
C C. Hypernatremia
D D. Hyponatremia
Correct Answer: B. Hypokalemia
Rationale: Hypokalemia increases the risk of digoxin toxicity by increasing the binding of
digoxin to sodium-potassium ATPase. Low potassium levels should be corrected to prevent
toxicity.
Why Wrong:
A. A: Hyperkalemia decreases the risk of digoxin toxicity.
B. C: Hypernatremia does not directly affect digoxin toxicity.
C. D: Hyponatremia does not directly affect digoxin toxicity.

Pharmacology Memory Notes; Saunders Comprehensive Review.
, Qn 2. A patient is prescribed fluconazole for a fungal infection. Which drug interaction
is significant?
A A. Warfarin
B B. Digoxin
C C. Metformin
D D. Lisinopril
Correct Answer: A. Warfarin
Rationale: Fluconazole inhibits CYP2C9 and can increase the anticoagulant effect of
warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding. INR should be monitored.
Why Wrong:
A. B: Digoxin does not have a significant interaction with fluconazole.
B. C: Metformin does not have a significant interaction.
C. D: Lisinopril does not have a significant interaction.

Qn 3. A patient is prescribed albuterol for asthma. The nurse should monitor for which
common side effect?
A A. Bradycardia
B B. Tachycardia and nervousness
C C. Sedation
D D. Hyperkalemia
Correct Answer: B. Tachycardia and nervousness
Rationale: Albuterol is a beta-agonist bronchodilator that can cause tachycardia,
nervousness, and tremors due to beta-1 stimulation. These are common side effects.
Why Wrong:
A. A: Albuterol causes tachycardia, not bradycardia.
B. C: Albuterol causes stimulation, not sedation.
C. D: Albuterol can cause hypokalemia, not hyperkalemia.
