Question
The medication order reads, ―Give ondansetron 4 mg, 30 minutes before
beginning chemotherapy to prevent nausea.‖ The nurse notes that the route is
missing from the order. What is the nurse's best action?
Give the medication intravenously because the patient might vomit
Give the medication orally because the tablets are available in 4-mg doses.
Contact the prescriber to clarify the route of the medication ordered.
Hold the medication until the prescriber returns to make rounds.
Answer::
C) A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a
medication order does not include the route, the nurse must ask the prescriber to
clarify it. The intravenous and oral routes are not interchangeable. Holding the
medication until the prescriber returns would mean that the patient would not
receive a needed medication.
Question :
When the nurse considers the timing of a drug dose, which factor is appropriate
to consider when deciding when to give a drug?
,The patient's ability to swallow
The patient's height
The patient's last meal
The patient's allergies
Answer::
C) The nurse must consider specific pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic drug
properties that may be affected by the timing of the last meal. The patient's
ability to swallow, height, and allergies are not factors to consider regarding the
timing of the drug's administration.
Question :
The nurse is performing an assessment of a newly admitted patient. Which is an
example of subjective data?
Weight 155 pounds
Pulse 72 beats/minute
The patient reports that he uses the herbal product ginkgo.
The patient's complete blood count results
Answer::
C) Subjective data include information shared through the spoken word by any
reliable source, such as the patient. Objective data may be defined as any
information gathered through the senses or that which is seen, heard, felt, or
smelled. A patient's pulse, weight, and laboratory tests are all examples of
objective data.

Implementation
Human needs statement
, Answer::
C,E,A,D,B

continues with human needs statement, planning, implementing, and evaluating.
Question :
The patient is receiving two different drugs. At current dosages and dosage
forms, both drugs have the same concentration of the active ingredient. Which
term is used to identify this principle?
Bioequivalent
Synergistic
Prodrugs
Steady state
Answer::
A) Bioequivalent
Two drugs absorbed into the circulation in the same amount (in specific dosage
forms) have the same bioavailability; thus, they are bioequivalent. A drug's steady
state is the physiologic state in which the amount of drug removed via elimination
is equal to the amount of drug absorbed from each dose. The term synergistic
refers to two drugs, given together, with a resulting effect that is greater than the
sum of the effects of each drug given alone. A prodrug is an inactive drug dosage
form that is converted to an active metabolite by various biochemical reactions
once it is inside the body
