Chapter 1: Issues for the Practitioner in Drug Therapy
Question 1. A nurse is reviewing care priorities related to Issues Practitioner Drug Therapy.
Which action best demonstrates safe, evidence-informed practice?
A. Use patient-specific assessment data to individualize the plan before acting
B. Apply the same routine protocol used for all patients regardless of context
C. Delay clarification until after the intervention is started
D. Rely mainly on patient preference without considering clinical risk
✅ Correct Answer: A. Use patient-specific assessment data to individualize the plan before
acting
Rationale: A. Use patient-specific assessment data to individualize the plan before acting is
correct because safe management of Issues Practitioner Drug Therapy depends on linking
therapy to individualized assessment, expected benefits, and foreseeable risks. That approach
supports earlier recognition of nonresponse and adverse effects while aligning the plan with
patient-specific variables. The other options are less appropriate because they rely on routine
thinking, delay evaluation, or ignore clinically relevant risk factors.

Question 2. Which assessment finding should the nurse identify as most clinically significant
when caring for a patient with concerns related to Issues Practitioner Drug Therapy?
A. Prioritize the most time-sensitive safety risk and intervene promptly
B. Address a less urgent comfort issue before evaluating risk
