NURS 180 WEEK 3 PAIN AND INFLAMMATION ATI COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AND RATIONALE WITH 100% VERIFIED SOLUTIONS A health care professional should understand that naloxone can reverse the effects of an excessive dosage of which of the following drugs? -Aspirin -Acetaminophen (Tylenol) -Morphine -Prednisone - ANSWER Morphine - Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, reverses the effects of morphine, an opioid analgesic. Health care professionals should monitor respirations and reassess patients after the effects of naloxone have diminished (20 to 40 min) for recurrence of the adverse effects of morphine. NOT:_____ Aspirin Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, does not reverse the effects of an overdose of aspirin. The treatment of salicylism, a result of high doses of aspirin, involves stopping aspirin therapy until symptoms resolve and then resuming with lower doses. There is no specific reversal agent. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, does not reverse the effects of acetaminophen, a nonopioid analgesic. Acetylcysteine (Acetadote) treats acetaminophen overdose. Prednisone Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, does not reverse the effects of prednisone, a glucocorticoid. High-dose glucocorticoid therapy can cause serious effects, such as myopathy, glaucoma, and peptic ulcer disease. The treatment involves stopping glucocorticoids or reducing the dose. There is no specific reversal agent. PT takes Furosemide (Lasix) and is about to take prednisone to treat IBD. The health care professional should monitor the patient for which of the following results of concurrent use of the two drugs? -Hypercalcemia -Hypoglycemia -Hypothermia -Hypokalemia - ANSWER Hypokalemia - Prednisone, a glucocorticoid, can cause hypokalemia. The risk for this electrolyte imbalance increases with potassium-depleting diuretics, such as furosemide. Health care professionals should monitor potassium levels of patients who are taking both drugs or recommend the primary care provider prescribe a safer combination. -cal - Concurrent use of prednisone and furosemide is unlikely to cause hypercalcemia. Prednisone, however, can cause hypernatremia and edema. - hypoglycemia - Concurrent use of prednisone and furosemide is unlikely to cause hypoglycemia. Both prednisone and furosemide can cause hyperglycemia, however. - hypothermia - Concurrent use of prednisone and furosemide is unlikely to cause hypothermia. Prednisone can, however, suppress the immune response and cause infection. About to begin Celecoxib (Celebrex) for rheumatoid arthritis. Report which adverse reactions? Chest pain Tinnitus Constipation Diaphoresis - ANSWER Chest pain Celecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor, can cause cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events. Patients should report chest pain, shortness of breath, headache, numbness, weakness, or confusion. Primary care providers should prescribe the lowest effective dosage for the shortest time period possible.
