,1) A nurse is caring for a client with hyperparathyroidism and notes
that the client's serum calcium level is 13 mg/dL. Which medication
should the nurse prepare to administer as prescribed to the client?
1. Calcium chloride
2. Calcium gluconate
3. Calcitonin (Miacalcin)
4. Large doses of vitamin D 3. Calcitonin (Miacalcin)
Rationale:
The normal serum calcium level is 8.6 to 10.0 mg/dL. This client is
experiencing hypercalcemia. Calcium gluconate and calcium chloride are
medications used for the treatment of tetany, which occurs as a result of
acute hypocalcemia. In hypercalcemia, large doses of vitamin D need to be
avoided. Calcitonin, a thyroid hormone, decreases the plasma calcium
level by inhibiting bone resorption and lowering the serum calcium
concentration.
10.) The
clinic nurse is performing an admission assessment on a client. The
nurse notes that the client is taking azelaic acid (Azelex). Because of the
medication prescription, the nurse would suspect that the client is being
treated for:
1. Acne
2. Eczema
3. Hair loss
4. Herpes simplex 1. Acne
,Rationale:
, Azelaic acid is a topical medication used to treat mild to moderate acne.
The acid appears to work by suppressing the growth of
Propionibacterium acnes and decreasing the proliferation of
keratinocytes. Options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect.
