Question 5 Type: MCSA The nurse has completed medication education about pyridostigmine (Mestinon), an indirect cholinergic drug, for the patient with myasthenia gravis. The nurse determines that learning has occurred when the patient makes which statement? 1. "My heart may beat slower while I am on this drug." 2. "I will need to increase my fluid intake with this medication." 3. "I must take this medication immediately before eating a full meal." 4. "It is really important to take my medication on time."

Question 5 Type: MCSA The nurse has completed medication education about pyridostigmine (Mestinon), ...

Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Heart rate is typically increased by anticholinergic drugs. Rationale 2: There is no reason to increase fluid intake with this drug. Rationale 3: There is no reason this drug should be taken immediately prior to eating a full meal. Rationale 4: Maintaining an optimum blood level of the drug is crucial in promoting muscle functioning, so it is important for the patient to take his medication on time and as directed. Global Rationale: Maintaining an optimum blood level of the drug is crucial in promoting muscle functioning, so it is important for the patient to take his medication on time and as directed. Heart rate is typically increased by anticholinergic drugs. There is no reason to increase fluid intake with this drug. There is no reason this drug should be taken immediately prior to eating a full meal.

The nursing instructor teaches the student nurses about the nervous system. The instructor determines that learning has occurred when the students make which statement(s)? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. "The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord." 2. "The peripheral nervous system has mainly sensory functions." 3. "The somatic nervous system gives us voluntary control over our gastrointestinal (GI) tract." 4. "The nervous system helps us react to environmental changes." 5. "The somatic nervous system gives us voluntary control over moving."

Correct Answer: 1,4,5 Rationale 1: The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord. Rationale 2: The peripheral nervous system has both sensory and motor divisions. Rationale 3: The somatic nervous system gives voluntary control over skeletal muscles. Rationale 4: The nervous system provides reaction to environmental changes. Rationale 5: The somatic nervous system provides voluntary control over moving. Global Rationale: The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord. The somatic nervous system provides voluntary control over moving. The nervous system provides reaction to environmental changes. The peripheral nervous system has both sensory and motor divisions. The somatic nervous system gives voluntary control over skeletal muscles

The ability of a person to use his arm muscles to lift a weight is primarily regulated by 1. the somatic nervous system. 2. the sympathetic nervous system. 3. the autonomic nervous system. 4. the parasympathetic nervous system.

Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The somatic nervous system (a division of the peripheral nervous system) controls voluntary movement such as lifting a weight. Rationale 2: The sympathetic nervous system is a division of the autonomic nervous system. Rationale 3: The autonomic nervous system involves involuntary responses. Rationale 4: The parasympathetic nervous system is a division of the autonomic nervous system. Global Rationale: The somatic nervous system (a division of the peripheral nervous system) controls voluntary movement such as lifting a weight. The autonomic nervous system involves involuntary responses, and is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.

Which of the following responses are regulated by the sympathetic nervous system? 1. Increased heart rate, bronchial constriction 2. Peripheral artery dilation, reduced peristalsis 3. Increased secretions, sex organ stimulation 4. Relaxation of bladder, pupil dilation

Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate, but the parasympathetic system constricts bronchioles. Rationale 2: Parasympathetic innervation dilates peripheral arteries and stimulates digestion. Rationale 3: The sympathetic system inhibits salivation and stimulates sex organs. Rationale 4: Relaxation of the bladder and pupil dilation is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system. Global Rationale: Relaxation of the bladder and pupil dilation are regulated by the sympathetic nervous system. Parasympathetic innervation dilates peripheral arteries and stimulates digestion. The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate, but the parasympathetic system constricts bronchioles. The sympathetic system inhibits salivation and stimulates sex organs.

A person who had her adrenergic receptors activated would experience 1. fight-or-flight effects. 2. rest-and-digest effects. 3. increased blood volume. 4. bronchial constriction

A person who had her adrenergic receptors activated would experience 1. fight-or-flight effects. 2. ...

Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Adrenergic receptors are found within the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nervous system activation produces the fight-or-flight response. Rationale 2: Adrenergic receptors are found within the sympathetic nervous system. Parasympathetic nervous system activation produces the rest-and-digest response. Rationale 3: Blood volume increases are not specifically controlled by the nervous system, but distribution of blood is under nervous control. Rationale 4: Adrenergic receptors are found within the sympathetic nervous system. Parasympathetic nervous system activation initiates bronchial constriction. Global Rationale: Adrenergic receptors are found within the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nervous system activation produces the fight-or-flight response. Parasympathetic nervous system activation produces the rest-and-digest response. Blood volume increases are not specifically controlled by the nervous system, but distribution of blood is under nervous control. Parasympathetic nervous system activation initiates bronchial constriction
