HESI MILESTONE EXAM QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS VERIFIED
LATEST 2023-2024 GRADE A +
Histamine1 blockers action (mine, zine, dine) - CORRECT
ANSWER >>bind selectively to H1-histaminic receptors, blocking
the actions of histamine at these sites
H1 antagonists are useful in treating - CORRECT ANSWER >>-
mild allergies(seasonal rhinitis)
-severe allergies(anaphylaxis)
-motion sickness
-insomnia
-common cold
Histamine (H2)-Receptor Antagonists action(tidine) - CORRECT
ANSWER >>block the H2 receptors responsible for stimulating
the secretion of gastric acid
Exenatide (Byetta) hypoglycemia - CORRECT ANSWER >>-can
occur right after meals
-for severe hypoglycemia give IV dextrose
,Exenatide (Byetta) hypoglycemia teaching - CORRECT
ANSWER >>-teach about s/s of hypoglycemia(cold and clammy
give them candy)
-have glucagon emergency kit available
-regular monitoring of A1c levels are required
Exenatide (Byetta) hypoglycemia causes - CORRECT ANSWER
>>-insulin overdose
-reduced food intake
-vomiting and diarrhea
-excessive alcohol intake
-unaccustomed exercise
-termination of pregnancy
signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia - CORRECT ANSWER >>-
tachycardia
-palpitations
-sweating
-nervousness
-headache
-confusion
-drowsiness
,-fatigue
antitussives therapeutic action is to - CORRECT ANSWER >>Act
on the cough control center in the medulla to suppress the cough
reflex; used for a cough that is nonproductive and irritating
Anaphylaxis‐PCN - CORRECT ANSWER >>-laryngeal edema,
bronchoconstriction, severe hypotension= immediate
hypersensitivity reaction
Anaphylaxis treatment - CORRECT ANSWER >>epinephrine
(subQ, IM, or IV) plus respiratory support
What drugs are effective and safe alternatives for patients with
penicillin allergies? - CORRECT ANSWER >>vancomycin,
erythromycin, and clindamycin
To ensure prompt treatment if anaphylaxis should develop
patients should be? - CORRECT ANSWER >>observed for at
least 30 minutes after drug injection (i.e., until the risk of an
anaphylactic reaction has passed).
, To minimize the chances of an anaphylactic reaction, penicillin
should be administered - CORRECT ANSWER >>an initial small
dose is followed at 60-minute intervals by progressively larger
doses until the full therapeutic dose has been achieved
Morphine overdose treatment - CORRECT ANSWER >>-
Naloxone (narcan)
-Intravenous, IM, and subQ. For initial treatment, administer IV
CT‐diarrhea‐action - CORRECT ANSWER >>-decrease intestinal
motility and thereby slow intestinal transit, which allows more time
for absorption of fluid and electrolytes
-activation of opioid receptors decreases secretion of fluid into the
small intestine and increases absorption of fluid and salt.
ACE inhibitor‐hyperkalemia - CORRECT ANSWER >>-Inhibition
of aldosterone release (secondary to inhibition of angiotensin II
production) can cause potassium retention by the kidney.
-significant potassium accumulation is limited to patients taking
potassium supplements, salt substitutes (which contain
potassium), or a potassium-sparing diuretic.
