EXPERT-VERIFIED SOLUTIONS |
ALREADY GRADED A+
Ch 4 Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Drug Interactions 28. A patient
receives a drug that has a narrow therapeutic range. The nurse administering this
medication will expect to do what?
c. Monitor plasma drug levels.
Ch 4 Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Drug Interactions 29. What
occurs when a drug binds to a receptor in the body?
b. It increases or decreases the activity of that receptor.
Ch 4 Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Drug Interactions 30. A patient is
receiving intravenous gentamicin. A serum drug test reveals toxic levels. The
,dosing is correct, and this medication has been tolerated by this patient in the past.
Which could be a probable cause of the test result?
c. The patient is taking another medication that binds to serum albumin.
Ch 4 Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Drug Interactions 31. A patient
reports becoming "immune" to a medication because it no longer works to alleviate
symptoms. The nurse recognizes that this decreased effectiveness is likely caused
by:
c. Desensitization of receptor sites by continual exposure to the drug.
Ch 4 Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Drug Interactions 32. A patient
who is taking morphine for pain asks the nurse how a pain medication can also
cause constipation. What does the nurse know about morphine?
d. It is selective to receptors that regulate more than one body process.
Ch 4 Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Drug Interactions 33. The nurse
is administering morning medications. The nurse gives a patient multiple
medications, two of which compete for plasma albumin receptor sites. As a result
of this concurrent administration, the nurse can anticipate that what might occur?
a. Binding of one or both agents will be reduced.
b. Plasma levels of free drug will rise.
d. The increase in free drug will intensify effects.
,Ch 4 Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Drug Interactions 34. When
administering medications to infants, it is important to remember which of the
following?
b. Immaturity of renal function in infancy causes infants to excrete drugs less
efficiently. <br> c. Infants have immature livers, which slows drug metabolism.
<br> d. Infants are more sensitive to medications that act on the central nervous
system (CNS).
Ch 5 Adverse Drug Reactions and Medication Errors 35. A nursing student is
preparing to give a medication that has a boxed warning. The student asks the
nurse what this means. What will the nurse explain about boxed warnings?
c. They alert prescribers to measures to mitigate potential harm from side effects.
Ch 5 Adverse Drug Reactions and Medication Errors 36. A nurse is preparing to
administer a drug. Upon reading the medication guide, the nurse notes that the drug
has been linked to symptoms of Parkinson disease in some patients. What will the
nurse do?
b. Observe the patient closely for such symptoms and prepare to treat them if
needed.
Ch 5 Adverse Drug Reactions and Medication Errors 37. Which patients are at
increased risk for adverse drug events? Select all that apply.
a. A 2-month-old infant taking a medication for gastroesophageal reflux disease
c. A 40-year-old male who is intubated in the intensive care unit and taking
antibiotics and cardiac medications
e. An 80-year-old male taking medications for COPD
, Ch 5 Adverse Drug Reactions and Medication Errors 38. A nurse provides
teaching to a patient who will begin taking a drug with a known risk of
hepatotoxicity. Which statement by the patient indicates a need for further
teaching?
d. "Routine testing and early detection of problems will prevent liver failure."
Ch 5 Adverse Drug Reactions and Medication Errors 39. A nurse is reviewing a
medication administration record before administering medications. Which order
will the nurse implement?
d. Furosemide [Lasix] 20 mg PO daily
Ch 5 Adverse Drug Reactions and Medication Errors 40. A patient is given a new
medication and reports nausea within an hour after taking the drug. The nurse
consults the drug information manual and learns that nausea is not an expected
adverse effect of this drug. When the next dose is due, what will the nurse do?
a. Administer the drug and tell the patient to report further nausea
Ch 5 Adverse Drug Reactions and Medication Errors 41. A nurse is preparing to
give an antibiotic to a patient who reports being allergic to antibiotics. Before
giving the medication, what will the nurse do first?
a. Ask whether the patient has taken this antibiotic for other infections
