3. Tinnitus.
4. Vertigo. - ...ANSWER...sensorineural hearing loss

Mandy, 44, was given a diagnosis of flu 1 day ago and
wants to start on the "new flu medicine" right away. What
do you tell her?
1. "The medication is effective only if started within the
first 72 hours after symptoms begin."

oseltamivir (Tamiflu) today. It may shorten the course of the
disease and perhaps lessen the severity of your symptoms.
Rationale: Two antiviral drugs, oseltamivir (Tamiflu), a pill
taken by mouth, and zanamivir (Relenza), an inhaled
medication, are particularly effective against the influenza
viruses that cause the flu. If the virus causing the flu is type
A influenza, the client may benefit from either one of these
drugs
Marjorie, age 37, has asthma and has been told she has
nasal polyps. What do you tell her about them?
1.Nasal polyps are usually precancerous.
2.Nasal polyps are benign growths.
3. The majority of nasal polyps are neoplastic.

because polyps are infrequent in clients with asthma.
-
...ANSWER...Nasal polyps are benign growths
Rationale: Nasal polyps are benign growths that occur
frequently in clients with sinus problems, asthma, and
allergic rhinitis. Polyps are neither neoplastic growths nor
precancerous, but they do have the potential to affect the
flow of air through the nasal passages. Clients who have
asthma and have nasal polyps may have an associated
allergy to aspirin, a syndrome that is referred to as Samter
triad
Nystatin (Mycostatin) is ordered for Michael, a 56-year-old
banker who has an oral fungal infection. What instructions

2. "Take the medication with meals so that it's
absorbed better."
3. "Swish and swallow the medication."
4."Apply the medication only to the lesions.
-
...ANSWER..."Swish and swallow the medication."
Rationale: When ordering nystatin (Mycostatin) for an oral
fungal infection, tell the client to swish the medication in the
mouth to coat all the lesions and then to swallow it.

and possibly a decongestant and an antitussive.
3. Order a complete blood count (CBC).
4.Consult with your collaborating physician -
