2. Peripheral neuritis

Rationale:A common side effect of the TB drug INH is peripheral neuritis. This is
manifested by numbness, tingling, and paresthesia in the extremities. This side
effect can be minimized by pyridoxine (vitamin B6) intake. Options 1, 3, and 4 are
incorrect.




2. Checking the frequency and consistency of bowel movements

Rationale:
The principal manifestations of Crohn's disease are diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Infliximab (Remicade) is an immunomodulator that reduces the degree of
inflammation in the colon, thereby reducing the diarrhea. Options 1, 3, and 4 are
unrelated to this medication.




3. White blood cell count, 3000 cells/mm3

Rationale:Adverse effects of carbamazepine (Tegretol) appear as blood
dyscrasias, including aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia,
leukopenia, cardiovascular disturbances, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, and
dermatological effects. Options 1, 2, and 4 identify normal laboratory values.




1. Vitamin A

Rationale:
Isotretinoin is a metabolite of vitamin A and can produce generalized
intensification of isotretinoin toxicity. Because of the potential for increased
toxicity, vitamin A supplements should be discontinued before isotretinoin
therapy. Options 2, 3, and 4 are not contraindicated with the use of
isotretinoin

Term


A nurse is caring for a client after thyroidectomy and notes that
calcium gluconate is prescribed for the client. The nurse determines
that this medication has been prescribed to:
1. Treat thyroid storm.
2. Prevent cardiac irritability.
3. Treat hypocalcemic tetany.
4. Stimulate the release of parathyroid hormone.

3. Blood pressure

Rationale:Hypertension can occur in a client taking cyclosporine (Sandimmune,
Gengraf, Neoral), and because this client is also complaining of a headache, the
blood pressure is the vital sign to be monitoring most closely. Other adverse
effects include infection, nephrotoxicity, and hirsutism. Options 1, 2, and 4 are
unrelated to the use of this medication.




3. Serum creatinine


Rationale:Foscarnet is toxic to the kidneys. Serum creatinine is monitored before
therapy, two to three times per week during induction therapy, and at least
weekly during maintenance therapy. Foscarnet may also cause decreased levels
of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. Thus these levels are also
measured with the same frequency




3. Treat hypocalcemic tetany.

Rationale:
Hypocalcemia can develop after thyroidectomy if the parathyroid glands
are accidentally removed or injured during surgery. Manifestations develop
1 to 7 days after surgery. If the client develops numbness and tingling

around the mouth, fingertips, or toes or muscle spasms or twitching, the
health care provider is notified immediately. Calcium gluconate should be
kept at the bedside.



2. Avoid the use of alcohol.
Rationale:Baclofen is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant. The client
should be cautioned against the use of alcohol and other CNS depressants,
because baclofen potentiates the depressant activity of these agents.
Constipation rather than diarrhea is an adverse effect of baclofen. It is not
necessary to restrict fluids, but the client should be warned that urinary retention
can occur. Fatigue is related to a CNS effect that is most intense during the early
phase of therapy and diminishes with continued medication use. It is not
necessary that the client notify the health care provider if fatigue occurs.

Term


The client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and
Pneumocystis jiroveci infection has been receiving pentamidine
isethionate (Pentam 300). The client develops a temperature of 101° F.
The nurse does further monitoring of the client, knowing that this
sign would most likely indicate
:1. The dose of the medication is too low.
2. The client is experiencing toxic effects of the medication.
3. The client has developed inadequacy of thermoregulation.
4. The result of another infection caused by leukopenic effects of the
medication.
