With which medical condition would a nurse expect the healthcare provider to
reduce the dosage of cimetidine due to potential drug accumulation?
A. Kidney disease
B. Crohn disease
C. Diabetes
D. Cardiovascular disease
✔️✔️ Kidney disease
(Explanation: Cimetidine is predominantly excreted by the kidneys via glomerular
filtration and tubular secretion. In patients with renal impairment or kidney
disease, drug clearance is significantly decreased, leading to drug accumulation
and an increased risk of severe central nervous system side effects such as
confusion, disorientation, and lethargy.)
Which outcome is anticipated as a result of histamine2 receptor blockers
obstructing histamine2 receptors in the parietal cells in the stomach?
Increase in hydrogen ions and gastric acid
Decrease in hydrogen ions and gastric acid
Increase in hydrogen ions and decrease in gastric acid
