1) A nurse is caring for a client with hyperparathyroidism and notes that the client'
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


s serum calcium level is 13 mg/dL. Which medication should the nurse prepare to
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


madminister as prescribed to the client?
m m m m m




1. Calcium chloride m




2. Calcium gluconate m




3. Calcitonin (Miacalcin) m




4. Large doses of vitamin D 3. Calcitonin (Miacalcin) Rationale:
m m m m m m m m



The normal serum calcium level is 8.6 to 10.0 mg/dL. This client is experiencing
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


mhypercalcemia. Calcium gluconate and calcium chloride are medications used fo
m m m m m m m m m


r the treatment of tetany, which occurs as a result of acute hypocalcemia. In hype
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


rcalcemia, large doses of vitamin D need to be avoided. Calcitonin, a thyroid hor
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


mone, decreases the plasma calcium level by inhibiting bone resorption and lowe

ring the serum calcium concentration.

10.) The clinic nurse is performing an admission assessment on a client. The nurs
m m m m m m m m m m m m


e notes that the client is taking azelaic acid (Azelex). Because of the medication
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


prescription, the nurse would suspect that the client is being treated for:
m m m m m m m m m m m




1. Acne

,2m|mPm am gm e




2. Eczema


3. Hair loss m




4. Herpes simplex m 1. Acne Rationale:
m m



Azelaic acid is a topical medication used to treat mild to moderate acne. The acid
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


mappears to work by suppressing the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and decr
m m m m m m m m m m m


easing the proliferation of keratinocytes. Options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect.
m m m m m m m m m m m




100.) Saquinavir (Invirase) is prescribed for the client who is human immunodefi
m m m m m m m m m m


ciency virus seropositive. The nurse reinforces medication instructions and tells th
m m m m m m m m m m


e client to:
m m




1. Avoid sun exposure. m m




2. Eat low-calorie foods.
m m




3. Eat foods that are low in fat.
m m m m m m




4. Take the medication on an empty stomach.1. Avoid sun exposure.
m m m m m m m m m




Rationale:


Saquinavir (Invirase) is an antiretroviral (protease inhibitor) used with other antiretro
m m m m m m m m m m


viral medications to manage human immunodeficiency virus infection. Saquinavir is
m m m m m m m m m m


administered with meals and is best absorbed if the client consumes
m m m m m m m m m m

,3m|mPm am gm e


high-calorie, high- m


fat meals. Saquinavir can cause photosensitivity, and the nurse should instruct the clie
m m m m m m m m m m m m


nt to avoid sun exposure.
m m m m




101.) Ketoconazole is prescribed for a client with a diagnosis of candidiasis. Selec
m m m m m m m m m m m


t the interventions that the nurse includes when administering this medication. Sele
m m m m m m m m m m m


ct all that apply.
m m m




1. Restrict fluid intake. m m




2. Instruct the client to avoid alcohol.
m m m m m




3. Monitor hepatic and liver function studies.
m m m m m




4. Administer the medication with an antacid.
m m m m m




5. Instruct the client to avoid exposure to the sun.
m m m m m m m m




6. Administer the medication on an empty stomach.
m m m m m m


2. Instruct the client to avoid alcohol.
m m m m m m




3. Monitor hepatic and liver function studies.
m m m m m m




5. Instruct the client to avoid exposure to the sun. Rationale:
m m m m m m m m m m



Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication. It is administered with food (not on an
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


empty stomach) and antacids are avoided for 2 hours after taking the medication t
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


o ensure absorption. The medication is hepatotoxic and the nurse monitors liver f
m m m m m m m m m m m m


unction studies. The client is instructed to avoid exposure to the sun because the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


medication increases photosensitivity. The client is also instructed to avoid
m m m m m m m m m

, 4m|mPm am gm e


alcohol. There is no reason for the client to restrict fluid intake. In fact, this could
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


mbe harmful to the client.
m m m m




102.) A client with human immunodeficiency virus is taking nevirapin
m m m m m m m m


e (Viramune). The nurse should monitor for which adverse effects of t
m m m m m m m m m m m


he medication? Select all that apply.
m m m m m




1. Rash


2. Hepatotoxicity


3. Hyperglycemia


4. Peripheral neuropathy m




5. Reduced bone mineral density 1. Rash
m m m m




2. Hepatotoxicity Rationale:

Nevirapine (Viramune) is a non- m m m m


nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) that is used to treat HIV infecti

on. It is used in combination with other antiretroviral medications to treat HIV. A
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


dverse effects include rash, Stevens-
m m m m


mJohnson syndrome, hepatitis, and increased transaminase levels. Hyperglycemia,
m m m m m m m m


peripheral neuropathy, and reduced bone density are not adverse effects of this m
m m m m m m m m m m m m


edication.


103.) A nurse is caring for a hospitalized client who has been taking clozapine (Cl
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


ozaril) for the treatment of a schizophrenic disorder. Which laboratory study presc
m m m m m m m m m m m


ribed for the client will the nurse specifically review to monitor for an adverse effe
