NUR3145 Test 1 With Complete
Solution
Assessment - Answer Step in nursing process that includes:
-assessing cultural approach to medication
-drug history
-checking for allergies and past medical history
-objective patient data
Planning - Answer Step in nursing process that includes:
-synthesizing drug data
-reviewing drug info
-identifying nursing diagnosis
Implementation - Answer Step in nursing process that includes:
-preparing meds for adminstration
-check dosage
-reviewing of 6 rights
-monitoring and assessing
-recording administration
6 rights of medication - Answer Right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, right
time, and right documentation are what?
Evaluation - Answer Step in nursing process that includes:
-checking the response of the drug
-therapeutic vs therapeutic responses
Therapeutic response - Answer Vital signs and urine output are examples of what kind
of response to a drug?
Adverse drug effect - Answer Any undesirable drug occurrence
Allergic reaction - Answer Adverse drug effect that is a hypersensitivity response that
involves the immune system
, Idiosyncratic reaction - Answer Adverse drug effect that occurs unexpectedly in an
individual patient because of genetically inherited traits
Mutagenic effects - Answer Adverse drug effect that permanently changes genetic
composition of living cells
Carcinogenic effects - Answer Adverse drug effect that is cancer causing
Synergists - Answer Drugs that work with other drugs to produce effects greater than
the sum of the individual
False - Answer T/F: Synergists are always positive effects
Additive effects - Answer Drug combinations with similar actions equivalent to the sum
of the individual effects of the same drug given alone
Side effects - Answer Drug effects that may be:
-helpful or harmful
-usually predictable
-often dosage related and unavoidable
Drug actions - Answer These variables influence what???
Alter metabolism or excretion of drug
Alcohol
Nicotine- constricts blood vessels
Caffeine
Morphine
Metoprolol- all the "olol" endings= beta blockers
Verapamil- calcium channel blocker
Diazepam - valium (sedative)
Pharmacokinetics - Answer What the body does to a drug, the rate of drug distribution
after entering the body
Pharmacokinetics - Answer Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are the
four aspects of what?
Oral - Answer form of drug absorption that is absorbed from the GI tract to body tissue
Parenteral - Answer Form of drug absorption that is by injection and bypasses the GI
tract
