Answers 2024-2025 Updated
Drug interactions: additive - ANSWER---1+1 = 2; both provide intended effect
Drug interactions: antagonistic - ANSWER---1+1 = <2; less than desired effect of
one or both drugs
Drug interactions: synergistic - ANSWER---1+1 = >2; sum total effect is greater
than if given alone (i.e. lisinopril + HCTZ)
Drug interactions: incompatibility - ANSWER---1+1 does not equal 2; two IV
drugs given together causing decomposition of one or both drugs
8 rights of medication administration - ANSWER---Patient
Medication
