A patient reports to a clinic with complaints of breast tenderness, a right lumpy
breast, and no breast discharge. The breast tenderness occurs primarily during
her menstrual cycle. The nurse practitioner probably suspects
• Question 2
1 out of 1 points
A 16-year-old boy is prescribed cromolyn sodium nasal spray to treat a nasal
allergy. To maximize the therapeutic effects of the drug, which of the following will
the nurse include in instructions to the patient?
Respons
To maximize the therapeutic effects of the drug, the patient should
e
take cromolyn sodium for one full week before coming in contact
Feedbac
with allergens. Taking the drug on a full stomach is inappropriate,
k:
since the drug is in the form of a nasal spray. Neither avoiding high
noise levels nor drinking plenty of fluids would help maximize the
therapeutic effects of the drug.

A nurse is having difficulty administering a bitter drug to a 5-year-old child. The
nurse should
Respons
Children can be offered a flavored ice pop or ice chips prior to
e
administering the drug to help numb the taste buds and promote

cooperation to take a foul- tasting drug. Most 5-year-old children
k:
cannot swallow pills, and only certain pills can be crushed and
dissolved in small amounts of liquid or soft food, such as
applesauce, gelatin, or ice cream, to mask the flavor of the drug.
Medication should never be forced on a child; it increases the risk of
aspiration. Play therapy reduces the anxiety related to drug
therapy, but you should never tell the children that the medicine is
candy.

arms and part of his or her face. When administering topical medications to the

A 19-year-old patient reports to a clinic with vaginal discharge with a foul odor. A
microscopic exam reveals trichomonas vaginalis. The nurse practitioner is aware
that
• Question 6
1 out of 1 points
A patient is being seen in the emergency department for a sprained ankle and is
given a drug to relieve pain. When a second dose of the pain medication is given,
the patient develops redness of the skin, itching, and swelling at the site of
injection of the drug. The most likely cause of this response is
Respons
An allergic response is an immune system response. If the body
e
interprets the drug as a foreign substance (antigen) and forms
Feedbac
antibodies against the drug, the antigen–antibody response of the
k:
immune system is initiated when the drug is taken again. This
response involves the release of histamine, which is responsible for
many symptoms of allergy—redness, itching, swelling, rash, and
hives. Idiosyncratic responses are related to an individual's unique
response to a drug, rather than to the dose of a drug. Idiosyncratic
responses are unusual and in fact may be the opposite of what is
anticipated, which is sometimes called a paradoxical response.
• Question 7
1 out of 1 points
A 5-year-old boy needs an IM injection. The least painful and most effective
injection site would be the
Respons
The ventrogluteal site is the best choice because it is free of major
e
nerves and blood vessels and is characterized by deep muscle mass.
Feedbac
The drug is injected into the gluteus medius muscle, which is in the
k:
ventrogluteal site. Injection in the gluteus medius is less painful than
injection in the vastus lateralis. The dorsogluteal site should be used
only as a last resort because of potential damage to the sciatic nerve
if the site is not chosen with precision. The scalp veins are never
used for injections; they are used only as intravenous sites in infants.
• Question 8
1 out of 1 points
A 15-year-old boy has been diagnosed with bone cancer after several months of
fatigue and pain. What question should the nurse include in an assessment
when trying to minimize the potential for adverse drug reactions?
Respons
In school-aged children and adolescents, assess for the use and
e
abuse of substances such as caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and street
Feedbac
drugs. During drug therapy, these substances cause the same
k:
complications in children as in adults. Adolescence is a time of
experimentation, which may include experimentation with legal and
