NURS 2350 Final Exam Questions With Complete Solutions
-emia Correct Answer in the blood
-itis Correct Answer inflammation
(drug interactions of) antacids Correct Answer interactions
may cause absorption of other drugs as most drugs are
formulated for acidic environment, alkaline environment
interferes with drug breakdown reducing the ability of the drug
to be absorbed by the body; should be separated from other
meds for 1-2 hours
(nursing concerns for) antacids Correct Answer assess for
allergies and pre-existing conditions like heart failure, renal
disease, GI obstruction, fluid and electrolyte concerns; be sure
tablets are chewed thoroughly and liquids are well shaken; give
with 8 ox water to enhance absorption; monitor for adverse
effects like nausea, vomiting, abd pain, diarrhea; calcium
products may cause constipation and acid rebound
(nursing concerns for) antidiarrheals Correct Answer concerns
include through history of bowel patterns, general state of
health, recent history of illness or dietary change and allergy;
should rule out acute abd, infectious process before
administering; teach patients to take medication as perscribed
and be aware of fluid intake, dietary and medication changes;
assess fluid volume status, I and O, mucous membranes before,
during, after initiation of treatment; monitor for therapeutic
effect
,(nursing concerns for) antiemetics Correct Answer concerns
include assessing for comorbidities, renal, hepatic disease, CNS
depression; drug interactions; nutritional assessment; route of
admin PO- 30 min before food/activity/drugs, IV-slow and per
protocol; PR- be sure to free from stool
(nursing concerns for) laxatives Correct Answer concerns
include obtaining a thorough hx including symptoms,
elimination patterns, allergies; assess for fluid and electrolytes;
encourage high fiber and high fluids, long term use may lead to
dependency, should be swallowed whole and taken with water;
hold for nausea, vomiting, abd pain, obstruction, post-op
12-16 (g/dL) Correct Answer female hemoglobin count
126 Correct Answer fasting blood sugar diagnostic for
diabetes
14-18 (g/dL) Correct Answer male hemoglobin count
15% Correct Answer % of body weight that is interstitial
20% Correct Answer % of body weight that is extracellular
200 Correct Answer post pradinal blood sugar diagnostic for
diabetes
3.5-5 Correct Answer normal potassium range
35-45 mmHg Correct Answer normal PaCO2
,36-48% Correct Answer female hematocrit
40-54% Correct Answer male hematocrit
40% Correct Answer %. of body weight of intracellular fluid
5-alpha reductase inhibitors (Finasteride/Procar) Correct
Answer treat prostatic hyperplasia; works by blocking
testosterone conversion to DTH reducing the size of the prostate
gland permitting flow, helps with emptying the bladder,
increases force of stream; caution for women due to risk of
pregnancy-wear gloves; caution in men not to donate blood or
father a child for 6 months after stopping
5-Aminosalicylates (5-ASA) Correct Answer drugs to treat
IBD that work to decrease inflammation and attain mucosal
healing, prevent progression and complications
5% Correct Answer % of body weight of plasma
6.5% Correct Answer HbA1c level diagnostic for diabetes
8.5-10.5 Correct Answer normal calcium level range
80 mmHg Correct Answer normal PaO2
A Correct Answer pregnancy category where there are
adequate studies of the drug and pose no risk to the fetus
ABG Correct Answer looks at pH, PaCO2, HCO3
, absence Correct Answer generalized seizure with breif sudden
lapses in attention
absorption Correct Answer how the drug gets into the body,
influenced by dose and drug formulation, route of
administration, blood flow, GI function, presence of food and
other drugs
ACE inhibitors (-prils) Correct Answer indications for heart
failure, LV dysfunction; action is to block conversion of
angiotensin I to angiotensin II, decreases vasoconstriction;
adverse effects are dry hacking cough, dizziness; considerations
are to monitor tachycardia, angina, heart failure, interactions
with NSAIDS, allopurinol; take on an empty stomach
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Correct Answer *NOT
ANTIINFLAMMATORY
mild to moderate fever reduction
does not cause bleeding or GI problems
can cause hepatotoxicity
frequently used with children
antidote-acetylcysteine (acetadote) PO or IV
indications: treatment of mild to moderate pain, fever, or signs
and symptoms of the common cold or flu, musculoskeletal pain
associated with arthritis and rheumatic disorders
actions: acts directly on the hypothalamus to cause vasodilation
and sweating which will reduce fever, mechanism of action as
an analgesic is not understood
oral onset varies, peak .5-2 h, duration 3-6 h
½ life 1 to 3 hours; metabolized in the liver and excreted in the
urine
