SECTION 1: FOUNDATIONS OF ADVANCED NURSING
PRACTICE (Questions 1–40)
Question 1
True or False: A focused assessment is conducted to gather data about a specific
problem that has already been identified.
A) True
B) False
Correct Answer: A) True
Rationale: A focused assessment is conducted to gather data about a specific problem
that has already been identified. This type of assessment is narrower in scope than a
comprehensive assessment and is used to evaluate the status of a specific health issue
or to monitor for changes in a known condition.
,Question 2
New drug development is good at determining:
A) Safety
B) Efficacy
C) Side effects
D) Toxicity
Correct Answer: B) Efficacy
Rationale: New drug development is particularly good at determining efficacy—
whether a drug works for its intended purpose under controlled conditions. Safety, side
effects, and toxicity are also evaluated but are often better assessed in post-marketing
surveillance because clinical trials may not detect rare adverse effects.
Question 3
The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and
physiology, as well as microbiology, when he only wants to learn about pharmacology.
What is the best response by the instructor?
A) "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects"
B) "You must learn all, since those subjects, as well as pharmacology, are part of the
curriculum"
C) "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the best patient care,
including the administration of medications"
D) "Because an understanding of those subjects is essential to understanding
pharmacology"
, Correct Answer: D) "Because an understanding of those subjects is essential to
understanding pharmacology"
Rationale: A solid foundation in anatomy, physiology, and microbiology is essential for
understanding how drugs work in the body, how they are metabolized, and how they
interact with pathogens. This integrated knowledge base is fundamental to safe and
effective pharmacotherapy.
Question 4
When giving drugs by the intramuscular route, absorption depends upon:
A) Amount of subcutaneous fat
B) Blood flow to the site of injection
C) Lipid solubility of the drug
Correct Answer: B) Blood flow to the site of injection
Rationale: Absorption of drugs administered intramuscularly depends primarily on
blood flow to the injection site. Increased blood flow (e.g., from exercise or massage)
enhances absorption, while decreased blood flow (e.g., from shock or vasoconstriction)
slows absorption.
Question 5
The first pass effect can cause a drug to be:
