Part 1: Pharmacology Basics

, Chapter 1: The Nursing Process and Drug Therapy




1. The nurse is developing a human needs statement for a patient newly diagnosed
with heart failure. Identification of human needs statements occurs during which
activity?

 A) Collection of patient data
 B) Administering interventions
 C) Deciding on patient outcomes
 D) Documenting the patient's behavior

Answer: A

Rationale: Identification of human needs occurs with the collection of patient data
during the assessment phase of the nursing process . The nursing process includes
assessment (data collection), human needs statement (nursing diagnosis), planning
(outcomes), implementation (interventions), and evaluation. Human needs statements
cannot be identified without first collecting comprehensive patient data. Administering
interventions occurs during implementation, deciding outcomes occurs during planning,
and documenting behavior occurs throughout but does not alone identify human
needs.




2. The patient is to receive oral guaifenesin (Mucinex) twice daily. The nurse was
busy and administered the medication 2 hours after the scheduled dose was due.
What "right" of medication administration does this represent?

,  A) "Right time"
 B) "Right dose"
 C) "Right route"
 D) "Right medication"

Answer: A

Rationale: The "right time" is correct because the medication was given more than 30
minutes after the scheduled dose was due . The standard acceptable window for
medication administration is typically 30 minutes before or after the scheduled time
unless otherwise specified. "Right dose" refers to administering the correct amount of
medication. "Right route" refers to administering the medication via the prescribed
route. "Right medication" refers to administering the correct drug. This error does not
involve dose, route, or medication identity.




3. The nurse has been monitoring the patient's progress on a new drug regimen
since the first dose and documenting the patient's therapeutic response to the
medication. Which phase of the nursing process do these actions illustrate?

 A) Human needs statement
 B) Planning
 C) Implementation
 D) Evaluation

Answer: D

Rationale: Monitoring the patient's progress, including the patient's response to
medication, is part of the evaluation phase . Evaluation involves determining whether
the patient's outcomes have been met and assessing the effectiveness of interventions.
Human needs statement (nursing diagnosis) identifies patient problems. Planning
