Which drug classes are considered antirheumatic? Select all that apply.
Select all that apply
Glucocorticoids
Uricosuric agents
Mineralocorticoids
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

To normalize a low serum calcium level, the body releases parathyroid hormone
(PTH). This results in which therapeutic effect?
An increase in renal calcium excretion
, An increase in bone resorption of calcium
An increase in plasma levels of phosphate
A decrease in the intestinal absorption of calcium
An increase in bone resorption of calcium
A nurse monitors the calcium level of a patient who has had a thyroidectomy. The
nurse should note which finding if the patient's calcium level is 6.4 mg/dL?
calcium is 8.5 to 10.5 mg/dL
Muscle twitching and tetanyLow calcium levels may be the result of inadvertent removal
of the parathyroid gland during a thyroidectomy, leading to a lack of parathyroid
hormone (PTH). This produces hypocalcemia and symptoms of tetany, muscle
twitching, and neuromuscular excitability. Nausea and vomiting, lethargy, and confusion
are symptoms of hypercalcemia. Dull, aching bone pain may be associated with
osteomalacia
To which patient will the nurse adminster vitamin D?
A patient with:
Osteomalacia
