MULTIPLE |CHOICE
1. Which |is |a |judgement |about |a |particular |patient’s |potential |need |or |problem?
a. A |goal
b. An |assessment
c. Subjective |data
d. A |nursing |diagnosis
ANS: | D
Nursing |diagnosis |is |the |phase |of |the |nursing |process |during |which |a |clinical |judgement |is |made |about |how
|conditions |and |life |processes |or |vulnerability |for |that |response.

2. The |patient |is |to |receive |oral |furosemide |(Lasix) |every |day; |however, |because |the |patient |is |unable |to |swallo
medication |orally, |as |ordered. |The |nurse |needs |to |contact |the |physician. |What |type |of |problem |is |this?
|
a. A |“right |time” |problem
b. A |“right |dose” |problem
c. A |“right |route” |problem
d. A |“right |medication” |problem
ANS: | C
This |is |a |“right |route” |problem: |the |nurse |cannot |assume |the |route |and |must |clarify |the |route |with |the |p

possible |adverse |effects. |What |nursing |process |phase |is |the |nurse |practising?
|
a. Planning
b. Evaluation

outcome |criterion |for |this |patient?
|
a. The |patient |will |follow |instructions.
b. The |patient |will |not |experience |complications.
c. The |patient |adheres |to |the |new |insulin |treatment |regimen.
d. The |patient |demonstrates |safe |insulin |self-administration |technique.
ANS: | D
Having |the |patient |demonstrate |safe |insulin |self-administration |technique |is |a |specific |and |measurable |outc
|instructions |and |avoiding |complications |are |not |specific |criteria. |Adherence |to |the |new |insulin |treatment
|would |be |difficult |to |measure.

telephone, |but |the |nurse |does |not |recall |the |route. |What |is |the |best |way |for |the |nurse |to |avoid |medication |
|
a. Recopy |the |order |neatly |on |the |order |sheet, |with |the |most |common |route |indicated
b. Consult |with |the |pharmacist |for |clarification |about |the |most |common |route
c. Call |the |health |care |provider |to |clarify |the |route |of |administration
d. Withhold |the |drug |until |the |health |care |provider |visits |the |patient

ANS: |A
The |traditional |Five |Rights |of |medication |administration |were |considered |to |be |Right |drug, |Right |route, |Rig
|Right |patient. |Right |effect, |right |strength, |and |right |diagnosis |are |not |part |of |the |traditional |Five |Rights.

8. What |correctly |describes |the |nursing |process?

d. An |ongoing |process |that |begins |with |assessing |and |continues |with |diagnosing,
|planning, |implementing, |and |evaluating

a. The |patient’s |identification
b. The |patient’s |weight
c. The |patient’s |last |meal
d. Any |drug |or |food |allergies
ANS: |C
The |pharmacokinetic |and |pharmacodynamic |properties |of |the |drug |need |to |be |assessed |with |regard |to |any |d

MULTIPLE |CHOICE
1. A |patient |is |receiving |two |different |drugs, |which, |at |their |current |dose |forms |and |dosages, |are |both |absorbed
identical |amounts. |Which |term |best |denotes |that |the |drugs |have |the |same |absorption |rates?
|
a. Equivalent
b. Synergistic
c. Compatible
d. Bioequivalent
ANS: | D
Two |drugs |absorbed |into |the |circulation |at |the |same |amount |(in |specific |dosage |forms) |have |the |same |b
|bioequivalent. |“Equivalent” |is |incorrect |because |the |term |“bioavailability” |is |used |to |express |the |extent |o
“Synergistic” |is |incorrect |because |this |term |refers |to |two |drugs |given |together |whose |resulting |effect |is
|effects |of |each |drug |given |alone. |“Compatible” |is |incorrect |because |this |term |is |a |general |term |used |to |ind
|not |have |a |chemical |reaction |when |mixed |(or |given, |in |the |case |of |drugs) |together.

2. A |patient |is |receiving |medication |via |intravenous |injection. |Which |information |should |the |nurse |provide |f
a. The |medication |will |cause |fewer |adverse |effects |when |given |intravenously.
b. The |medication |will |be |absorbed |slowly |into |the |tissues |over |time.
c. The |medication’s |action |will |begin |faster |when |given |intravenously.
d. Most |of |the |drug |is |inactivated |by |the |liver |before |it |reaches |the |target |area.
ANS: | C
Intravenous |injections |are |the |fastest |route |of |absorption. |The |intravenous |route |does |not |affect |the |num
|intravenous |route |is |not |a |slow |route |of |absorption, |and |the |intravenous |route |does |not |cause |inactivati

a. They |bypass |the |first-pass |effect.
b. They |decrease |blood |flow |to |the |stomach.
c. They |are |altered |by |the |presence |of |food |in |the |stomach.
d. They |exert |their |effects |while |circulating |in |the |bloodstream.
ANS: | A
Drugs |given |by |the |parenteral |route |bypass |the |first-pass |effect, |but |they |still |must |be |absorbed |into |cells |an
|exert |their |effects. |Enteral |drugs |(drugs |taken |orally), |not |parenteral |drugs, |decrease |blood |flow |to |the |sto

4. A |drug’s |half-life |is |best |defined |as
a. The |time |it |takes |for |the |drug |to |elicit |half |its |therapeutic |response.
b. The |time |it |takes |one-half |of |the |original |amount |of |a |drug |to |reach |the |target
|cells.
c. The |time |it |takes |one-half |of |the |original |amount |of |a |drug |to |be |removed |from |the
|body.
d. The |time |it |takes |one-half |of |the |original |amount |of |a |drug |to |be |absorbed |into |the
|circulation.
