NURS 6521 / NURS6521 Advanced Pharmacology Midterm Exam | Question and Answers | Latest 2023 / 2024 / Scored 99/100 ggraded a • Question 1 1 out of 1 points A patient with a recent diagnosis of acute renal failure has a long-standing seizure disorder which has been successfully controlled for several years with antiseizure medications. The nurse should recognize that the patient's compromised renal function will likely Response Feedback: Impaired renal function will increase the half-life of drugs that are metabolized by the kidneys. This does not necessarily render such medications ineffective and it does not decrease the first-pass effect. IV administration will not compensate for the patient's impaired renal function. • Question 2 A patient is treated with an antibiotic for an infection in his leg. After 2 1 out of 1 points days of taking the antibiotic, the patient calls the clinic and reports that he has a rash all over his body. The nurse is aware that a rash can be an adverse effect of an antibiotic and can be either a biologic, chemical, or physiologic action of the drug, which is an example of Response Feedback : Pharmacodynamics is the biologic, chemical, and physiologic actions of a particular drug within the body and the study of how those actions occur, including adverse effects. It is how the drug affects the body. The pharmacodynamics of a drug is responsible for its therapeutic effects and sometimes its adverse effects. Pharmacotherapeutics refers to the desired, therapeutic effect of the drug. Pharmacokinetics is the changes that occur to the drug while it is inside the body. Pharmacogenetics is the study of how genetic variables affect the pharmacodynamics of a drug in a specific patient. • Question 3 A home health nurse notes that there have been changes to a patient's 1 out of 1 points oral drug regimen. The nurse will closely monitor the new drug regimen to Response Feedback : Changes in the drug regimen may cause changes in drug absorption and thereby decrease the anticipated drug effect. This decrease is due to the prevention of binding and loss of absorption and overall drug effectiveness. A change in the drug regimen would not help a nurse to track the route of metabolism or determine the speed of chelation. If any adverse effect were to occur as a result of a drug regimen change, it would not necessarily be immunotoxicity; it could also be nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, or cardiotoxicity. • Question 4 1 out of
