ANSWERS | GRADED A+ | GUARANTEED PASS!!
1. Which of the following data is most accurate in determining a treatment plan for a
patient who presents with depression? ANS: The patient states that they are experiencing
feelings of sadness, insomnia, and lack of appetite
2. Informed Consent ANS: clients have the right to receive enough information to
make decisions about their treatment. They must also be informed about the potential
risks associated with medication. Clients have the right to refuse treatment and cannot
be forcibly medicated in non-emergencies.
3. Which lobe is responsible for movement and intelligence and can result in
personality changes if damaged? ANS: Frontal Lobe
4. The PMHNP wants to prescribe olanzipine for a client with depression. However, the
client currently takes amiodarone for chronic atrial fibrillation. What does the PMHNP
need to do to establish efficiency of this medication? ANS: Decrease the dosage of
olanzipine
Amiodarone is a CYP450 inhibitor which means it will stop/slow down the olanzapine from
metabolizing in the body.
Therefore, the olanzapine is at risk for building up in the client's system rather than being
metabolized and secreted.
5. What NTM is responsible for a patient's diagnosis of Parkinson's? ANS: Dopamine
dopamine affects balance and coordination, low levels are found in Parkinson's.
6. A surgical patient is post-op after a hernia repair. The patient is given opioids in the
OR and now has a shallow respiratory rate, pinpoint pupils, and is unresponsive to verbal
, stimulation. The PMHNP prescribed naloxone to reverse the effects of the opioids. Where
does Naloxone fall on the agonist spectrum? ANS: Antagonist
7. Medications for schizophrenia target which main neurotransmitter? ANS:
Dopamine
dopamine causes negative and positive symptoms of schizophrenia, medication block

8. first generation antipsychotics improve _________ symptoms, and there is a higher

10. What brain region is responsible for speech comprehension? ANS: Wernicke's Area
11. Which neurotransmitter may be responsible for a client's symptoms of depression?
SATA
a. increased level of ACH
b. decreased levels of NE
c. increased levels of 5HT
d. decreased levels of histamine
e. increased levels of glutamate ANS: a. increased levels of ACH b. decreased levels of NE
d. decreased levels of histamine
12. Which pathway is associated with hyperprolactemia? ANS: Tuberoinfundibular
13. True or False: Sulfonamides are an example of CYP450 inducer. ANS: False, they are
inhibitors
