1. Which is a judgement about a particular patient’s potential need or problem?
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




a. A goal SW




b. An assessment SW




c. Subjective data SW




d. A nursing diagnosis SW SW




ANS: D SW




Nursing diagnosis is the phase of the nursing process during which a clinical judgement is made about how a patient responds to hea

th conditions and life processes or vulnerability for that response.

2. The patient is to receive oral furosemide (Lasix) every day; however, because the patient is unable to swallow, he cannot take
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




medication orally, as ordered. The nurse needs to contact the physician. What type of problem is this?
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




a. A “right time” problem SW SW SW




b. A “right dose” problem SW SW SW




c. A “right route” problem SW SW SW




d. A “right medication” problem SW SW SW




ANS: C SW




This is a “right route” problem: the nurse cannot assume the route and must clarify the route with the prescriber. This is not a “right
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




time” problem because the ordered frequency has not changed. This is not a “right dose” problem because the dose is not related to
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




an inability to swallow. This is not a “right medication” problem because the medication ordered will not change, just the route.

3. The nurse has been monitoring the patient’s progress on his new drug regimen since the first dose and has been documenting signs o

f possible adverse effects. What nursing process phase is the nurse practising?
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




a. Planning
b. Evaluation

4. The nurse is caring for a patient who has been newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which statement best illustrates an o

utcome criterion for this patient? SW SW SW SW




a. The patient will follow instructions. SW SW SW SW




b. The patient will not experience complications.
SW SW SW SW SW




c. The patient adheres to the new insulin treatment regimen.
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




d. The patient demonstrates safe insulin self-administration technique.
SW SW SW SW SW SW




ANS: D SW




Having the patient demonstrate safe insulin self-

administration technique is a specific and measurable outcome criterion. Following instructions and avoiding complications are not
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




specific criteria. Adherence to the new insulin treatment regimen is not objective and would be difficult to measure.

5. Which activity best reflects the implementation phase of the nursing process for the patient who is newly diagnosed with type 1
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




diabetes mellitus? SW




a. Providing education regarding self-injection technique SW SW SW SW

c. Recording a history of over-the-counter medications used at home SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




d. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding knowledge deficits related to the new t SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW

ANS: A SW




Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase. Setting goals and outcome criteria reflects the planning ph

SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




a. Recopy the order neatly on the order sheet, with the most common route indicated

d. Withhold the drug until the health care provider visits the patient SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




ANS: C SW




If a medication order does not include the route, the nurse must ask the health care provider to clarify it. Never assume the route of administrat

SW SW SW SW SW




a. Diagnosing, planning, assessing, implementing, and finally evaluating SW SW SW SW SW SW

Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three- SW SW SW SW SW SW SW

Anxiety related to new drug therapy” is missing the “as evidenced by” portion of defining characteristics. The “related to” section in

MULTIPLE CHOICE SW




1. A patient is receiving two different drugs, which, at their current dose forms and dosages, are both absorbed into the circulation in i
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




dentical amounts. Which term best denotes that the drugs have the same absorption rates?
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




a. Equivalent
b. Synergistic
c. Compatible
d. Bioequivalent
ANS: D SW




Two drugs absorbed into the circulation at the same amount (in specific dosage forms) have the same bioavailability; thus, they are
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




bioequivalent. “Equivalent” is incorrect because the term “bioavailability” is used to express the extent of drug absorption.
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




“Synergistic” is incorrect because this term refers to two drugs given together whose resulting effect is greater than the sum of the
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




effects of each drug given alone. “Compatible” is incorrect because this term is a general term used to indicate that two substances
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




do not have a chemical reaction when mixed (or given, in the case of drugs) together.

2. A patient is receiving medication via intravenous injection. Which information should the nurse provide for patient education?
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




a. The medication will cause fewer adverse effects when given intravenously.
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




b. The medication will be absorbed slowly into the tissues over time.
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




c. The medication’s action will begin faster when given intravenously.
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




d. Most of the drug is inactivated by the liver before it reaches the target area.
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




ANS: C SW




Intravenous injections are the fastest route of absorption. The intravenous route does not affect the number of adverse effects, the i
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




ntravenous route is not a slow route of absorption, and the intravenous route does not cause inactivation of the drug by the liver

3. Which is true regarding parenteral drugs?
SW SW SW SW SW




a. They bypass the first-pass effect. SW SW SW SW




b. They decrease blood flow to the stomach. SW SW SW SW SW SW




c. They are altered by the presence of food in the stomach.
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




d. They exert their effects while circulating in the bloodstream.
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




ANS: A SW




Drugs given by the parenteral route bypass the first-
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




pass effect, but they still must be absorbed into cells and tissues before they can exert their effects. Enteral drugs (drugs taken orally)
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




, not parenteral drugs, decrease blood flow to the stomach and are altered by the presence of food in the stomach. Parenteral drugs
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




must be absorbed into cells and tissues from the circulation before they can exert their effects; they do not exert their effects while
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




circulating in the bloodstream. SW SW SW

d. The time it takes one- SW SW SW SW




half of the original amount of a drug to be absorbed into the circulation.

ANS: C SW




A drug’s half-life is the time it takes for one-
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW




half of the original amount of a drug to be removed from the body. It is a measure of the rate at which drugs are removed from the
