HESI
Maximize your success on the HESI Pharmacology V1 exam with
focused preparation that strengthens your understanding of drug
classifications, therapeutic actions, safe administration, and
monitoring for adverse effects. It is specifically designed for
nursing students using the HESI platform to evaluate
competency in evidence-based medication management.
Cycloserine (Seromycin) is added to the medication regimen
for a client with tuberculosis. Which of the following would
the nurse include in the client-teaching plan regarding this
medication?1
. To take the medication before meals
2. To return to the clinic weekly for serum drug-level testing
3. It is not necessary to call the health care provider (HCP) if
a skin rash occurs.

4. It is not necessary to restrict alcohol intake with this
medication. ✓ ✓...... ANSWER ....... 2. To return to the
clinic weekly for serum drug-level testing
Rationale:
Cycloserine (Seromycin) is an antitubercular medication
that requires weekly serum drug level determinations to
monitor for the potential of neurotoxicity. Serum drug levels
lower than 30 mcg/mL reduce the incidence of neurotoxicity.
The medication must be taken after meals to prevent
gastrointestinal irritation. The client must be instructed to
notify the HCP if a skin rash or signs of central nervous
system toxicity are noted. Alcohol must be avoided because
it increases the risk of seizure activity.
A client with tuberculosis is being started on
antituberculosis therapy with isoniazid (INH). Before giving
the client the first dose, a nurse ensures that which of the
following baseline studies has been completed?
1. Electrolyte levels
2. Coagulation times
3. Liver enzyme levels
, Page 3 of 92
4. Serum creatinine level ✓ ✓...... ANSWER ....... 3. Liver
enzyme levels
Rationale:
INH therapy can cause an elevation of hepatic enzyme levels
and hepatitis. Therefore, liver enzyme levels are monitored
when therapy is initiated and during the first 3 months of
therapy. They may be monitored longer in the client who is
greater than age 50 or abuses alcohol.
Rifabutin (Mycobutin) is prescribed for a client with active
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease and
tuberculosis. The nurse monitors for which side effects of
the medication? Select all that apply.
1. Signs of hepatitis
2. Flu-like syndrome
3. Low neutrophil count
4. Vitamin B6 deficiency
5. Ocular pain or blurred vision
6. Tingling and numbness of the fingers ✓ ✓...... ANSWER
....... 1. Signs of hepatitis
, Page 4 of 92
2. Flu-like syndrome
3. Low neutrophil count
5. Ocular pain or blurred vision
Rationale:
Rifabutin (Mycobutin) may be prescribed for a client with
active MAC disease and tuberculosis. It inhibits
mycobacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and
suppresses protein synthesis. Side effects include rash,
gastrointestinal disturbances, neutropenia (low neutrophil
count), red-orange body secretions, uveitis (blurred vision
and eye pain), myositis, arthralgia, hepatitis, chest pain with
dyspnea, and flu-like syndrome. Vitamin B6 deficiency and
numbness and tingling in the extremities are associated with
the use of isoniazid (INH). Ethambutol (Myambutol) also
causes peripheral neuritis.
A nurse reinforces discharge instructions to a postoperative
client who is taking warfarin sodium (Coumadin). Which
statement, if made by the client, reflects the need for further
teaching?
1. "I will take my pills every day at the same time."
