What factor can be attributed to limited prescriptive authority for APRNs?
v v v v v v v v v v




Inaccessibility of patient care
v v v v




Feedback:Limiting prescriptive authority for APRNs can create barriers to quality, v v v v v v v v v



affordable, and accessible patient care. It may also lead to poor collaboration
v v v v v v v v v v v v



among providers and higher health care costs.

A patient reports that a medication prescribed for recurrent migraine headaches is
v v v v v v v v v v v



not working. Which action should be taken first?
v v v v v v v v




Ask the patient about the number and frequency of tablets taken.
v v v v v v v v v v




Feedback:using the drug as ordered. Asking the patient to tell the nurse how many
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



tablets are taken and how often helps the nurse determine compliance.

A patient is receiving intravenous gentamicin. A serum drug test reveals toxic
v v v v v v v v v v v



levels. The dosing is correct, and this medication has been tolerated by this patient in
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



the past. Which could be a probable cause of the test result?
v v v v v v v v v v v v




The patient is taking another medication that binds to serum albumin
v v v v v v v v v v

,2|P a g e
v v v v v




Feedback:Gentamicin binds to albumin, but only weakly, and in the presence of v v v v v v v v v v v



another drug that binds to albumin, it can rise to toxic levels in blood serum.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




The nurse is administering morning medications. The nurse gives a patient multiple
v v v v v v v v v v v



medications, two of which compete for plasma albumin receptor sites. As a result of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



this concurrent administration, the nurse can anticipate that what might occur?
v v v v v v v v v v v



Select all that apply
v v v v




Binding of one or both agents will be reduced, Plasma levels of free drug will rise,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



The increase in free drug will intensify effects
v v v v v v v v




Feedback:When two drugs bind to the same site on plasma albumin, v v v v v v v v v v



coadministration of those drugs produces competition for binding. As a result,
v v v v v v v v v v v



binding of one or both agents is reduced, causing plasma levels of free drug to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



rise.The increase in free drug can intensify the effect, but it usually undergoes
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



rapid elimination. The increase in plasma levels of free drug is rarely sustained.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




A patient asks a nurse why a friend who is taking the same drug responds differently
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



to that drug. The nurse knows that the most common variation in drug response is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



due to differences in each patient's:
v v v v v v




metabolism of drugs v v




Feedback:The most common source of genetic variation in drug response is related
v v v v v v v v v v v



to alterations in drug metabolism and is determined by genetic codes for various
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



drug-metabolizing isoenzymes.

A patient with migraines is started on a beta blocker. The nurse explains the benefits
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



of taking the medication for migraines. Which statement by the patient indicates an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



understanding of the medication's effects?
v v v v v




“I need to take it every day to reduce the frequency of migraines.”
v v v v v v v v v v v v




Feedback:When taken prophylactically, medications such as beta blockers can v v v v v v v v



reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. They do not provide complete relief from
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



migraines. They do not reduce the duration of migraines. They are not effective for
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



treating a migraine once the migraine has begun
v v v v v v v v




A prescriber orders transdermal clonidine [Catapres TTS] for a patient with
v v v v v v v v v v



hypertension. What will the nurse teach this patient?
v v v v v v v v




To change the patch every week.
v v v v v




Feedback: Transdermal patches are to be changed every 7 days. Medication
v v v v v v v v v v



administered by patch has the same therapeutic effect and adverse effects as that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



given by other routes, except that localized skin reactions may occur and are
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



common with clonidine patches.

A 25-year-old patient has been newly diagnosed with Parkinson disease, and the
v v v v v v v v v v v



prescriber is considering using pramipexole [Mirapex]. Before beginning therapy
v v v v v v v v v



with this drug, the nurse will ask the patient about:
