D) Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT).
Feedback:
Ongoing APTT (D) values measure the prolongation times of
thromboplastin in the clotting cascade, which is monitored during heparin
therapy. (A, B, and C) do not indicate the therapeutic action of heparin.




The practical nurse (PN) is reinforcing information to a client about the use of an

Feedback:
Antiemetics should be given before any chemotherapeutic agent is
administered, often 30 minutes to 3 hours before treatment (D). Although
(A, B, and C) are useful tips, if tolerated, they do not ensure the maximum
therapeutic response.

A) Notify the healthcare provider about the symptoms.
Feedback:
Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, acts to reduce gastric acid secretion.
If once daily dosing fails to control the client's symptoms, the healthcare
provider should be notified (A) for dose adjustment. (B) will not help to
reduce the client's symptoms. Unless the client shows symptoms of a
hypersensitivity to the medication, the client should not stop the
medication (C). (D) should not suggested without a prescription from the
healthcare provider.




A client receives a prescription for nystatin (Mycostatin) oral suspension for the

Feedback:
The client should swish the suspension in the mouth for as long as possible
before swallowing it (C). The method of swish and swallow distributes the
medication within the oral cavity to ensure topical coverage of the affected
mucosal surfaces. Although (A, B, and D) are medication administration
instructions, swish and swallow is the most specific administration
information for nystatin.




The practical nurse (PN) is reinforcing teaching for a client who is receiving diltiazem
(Cardizem), a calcium channel blocker. Which drug action should the practical nurse
explain?
A) Increased force of contraction.
B) Decreased rate of contraction.

atrioventricular-node conduction (dromotropy), and heart rate
(chronotropy) (B). (A, C, and D) are not pharmacotherapeutic actions for
Cardizem.
