Question1 ‘/




A nurse works in a private hospital and needs to administer some narcotic drugs to one of
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




her patients. Which of the following should the nurse consider when administering
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




narcotics to patients in a hospital setting?
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




A) Narcotics can be administered without a prescription in emergency situations ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ /




B) Narcotics are regulated by federal law and require specific documentation and‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘/ secure storage ‘/




C) Narcotics can be freely transferred between patients if needed ‘ / ‘/ ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘/




D) Narcotics do not require any special handling or monitoring ‘/ ‘ / ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘ / ‘/ ‘ /




Correct Answer: B ‘ / ‘ /




Explanation: Narcotics are controlled substances regulated by federal law (e.g., the ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘/ Controlled Substances Act). Nurses must follow strict guidelines for documentation, secure
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘/ storage, and administration. They require a valid prescription and cannot be transferred
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘/ between patients without proper authorization.
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




Question2 ‘/




A patient has been receiving regular doses of an agonist for 2 weeks. Which of the
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




following should the nurse anticipate?
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




A) The patient will experience no change in drug response
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘ / ‘/ ‘/ ‘ /




B) The patient will likely develop tolerance and may require a higher dose for the same effect
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




C) The patient will develop an allergic reaction
‘ / ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




D) The drug will become more effective over time
‘ / ‘/ ‘ / ‘ / ‘/ ‘ / ‘/




Correct Answer: B ‘ / ‘ /




Explanation: Continuous use of an agonist can lead to tolerance, where the body adapts to ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘ /




‘/ the drug and requires higher doses to achieve the same therapeutic effect. This is a common
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘/ phenomenon with opioids, beta-agonists, and other receptor agonists. ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/

Question3 ‘/

‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘/ unstable angina and new prescription for nitroglycerin. Which of the following nursing
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘ / diagnoses should the nurse prioritize in the planning of this patient's care?
‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘/ ‘ /

B) Acute pain related to myocardial ischemia
‘ / ‘/ ‘/ ‘ / ‘/




C) Anxiety related to new diagnosis ‘ / ‘/ ‘ / ‘/




D) Decreased cardiac output related to altered heart rate ‘ / ‘/ ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ /




Correct Answer: B ‘ / ‘ /




Explanation: The priority for a patient with unstable angina is relieving acute pain caused
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘/ by myocardial ischemia. Nitroglycerin is prescribed to vasodilate coronary arteries and
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘/ reduce pain. While other diagnoses are relevant, acute pain is the most immediate
‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘/ concern.

‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/ ‘/




‘/ consists mainly of: ‘/ ‘/




A) Naltrexone therapy ‘ /




B) Behavioral therapy and supportive care ‘ / ‘ / ‘ / ‘ /




C) Methadone maintenance ‘ /




D) Antipsychotic medications ‘ /
