LPN Nursing Questions Related to Pharmacology Questions

Question 1 of 5

Drugs that may interact with vaccines include:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Choice A is correct because immunosuppressants (e.g., prednisone) reduce vaccine efficacy by weakening immune response, per CDC guidelines.
Choice B is incorrect as antibiotics don't typically affect vaccines.
Choice C is wrong because antihistamines lack vaccine interactions.
Choice D is incorrect since only immunosuppressants apply.

Question 2 of 5

A 4-month-old infant has a viral illness with high fever and cough. The infant's parent asks the NP about what to give the infant to help with symptoms. The NP should prescribe which of the following?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because acetaminophen is safe for infants to reduce fever.
Choice A is incorrect (aspirin risks Reye’s syndrome).
Choice C is wrong (dextromethorphan risks respiratory depression).
Choice D is inaccurate (antibiotics don’t treat viral illness).

Question 3 of 5

Strategies to improve adherence to medication regimes include:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Choice B is correct because pictograms clarify instructions visually, aiding comprehension and adherence, especially for low-literacy patients.
Choice A is incorrect as assuming understanding can lead to errors.
Choice C is wrong because health literacy varies from general literacy, needing specific attention.
Choice D is incorrect here as it's a good strategy but not listed in this question's options correctly—B fits best.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following statements about the major distribution barriers (blood-brain or fetal-placental) is true?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Choice B is correct because the blood-brain barrier, with its tight junctions, slows entry of many drugs, especially water-soluble ones, protecting the brain.
Choice A is incorrect as water-soluble, ionized drugs cross poorly due to barrier selectivity.
Choice C is wrong because the fetal-placental barrier doesn't fully block drugs—many cross and affect the fetus.
Choice D is incorrect since lipid-soluble drugs readily pass these barriers, posing risks in pregnancy.

Question 5 of 5

Drugs that require refrigeration include:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Choice D is correct because insulin (protein stability), amoxicillin suspension (post-reconstitution), and vaccines (biological potency) require refrigeration to maintain efficacy, per storage guidelines.
Choice A is incorrect alone as it's one drug.
Choice B is wrong by itself because amoxicillin is just part.
Choice C is incorrect solo since vaccines are only one group.
