OF CONTENT 1) NURS 615 PHARM FINAL EXAM
Nurse practitioner practice may thrive under health-care
reform because of:
A. The demonstrated ability of nurse practitioners to
control costs and improve patient outcomes
B. The fact that nurse practitioners will be able to
practice independently
C. The fact that nurse practitioners will have full
reimbursement under health-care reform
D. The ability to shift accountability for Medicaid to the
state level
A. The demonstrated ability of nurse practitioners to
control costs and improve patient outcomes
,1. A patient's nutritional intake and laboratory results
reflect hypoalbuminemia. This is critical to prescribing
because:
1. Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected.
2. The solubility of the drug will not match the site of
absorption.
3. There will be less free drug available to generate an
effect.
4. Drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the
kidneys.
1. Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected.
,2. Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
1. Must be given by the enteral (oral) route only
2. Bypass the hepatic circulation
3. Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have
little if any desired action
4. Are converted by the liver to more active and fat-
soluble forms
3. Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have
little if any desired action
3. The route of excretion of a volatile drug will likely be
the:
1. Kidneys
2. Lungs
3. Bile and feces
4. Skin
2. Lungs
, 4. Medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed
intramuscularly (IM) to create a storage reservoir of the
drug. Storage reservoirs:
1. Assure that the drug will reach its intended target
tissue
2. Are the reason for giving loading doses
3. Increase the length of time a drug is available and
active
4. Are most common in collagen tissues
3. Increase the length of time a drug is available and
active
5. The NP chooses to give cephalexin every 8 hours
based on knowledge of the drug's:
1. Propensity to go to the target receptor
2. Biological half-life
3. Pharmacodynamics
4. Safety and side effects
2. Biological half-life
