ATI Pharmacology Practice Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A healthcare provider is planning to administer Ciprofloxacin IV to a client who has cystitis. Which of the following actions should the healthcare provider take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ciprofloxacin should be infused over 60 minutes to minimize vein irritation and reduce the risk of adverse effects. Administering a concentrated solution can lead to vein irritation and potential complications. Infusing the solution through the primary IV fluid tubing can cause incompatibility issues. Choosing a small peripheral vein may not be suitable for administering Ciprofloxacin, which should be infused through a larger vein to prevent vein irritation and ensure a proper dilution of the medication.
Question 2 of 5
A client has a new prescription for Raltegravir. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in teaching the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because Raltegravir works by blocking the integrase enzyme, preventing the virus from integrating its genetic material into the host cell's DNA. This action inhibits viral replication within the host cell, making it an essential mechanism of action for managing viral infections.
Question 3 of 5
A client is receiving discharge teaching for Metronidazole prescribed for an infection. Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Alcohol should be avoided while taking Metronidazole because it can lead to a disulfiram-like reaction, causing severe nausea and vomiting. It is important for the client to understand this to prevent adverse reactions and ensure the effectiveness of the medication in treating the infection.

This increase in white blood cells helps reduce the risk of infections in clients with neutropenia, a condition characterized by low levels of neutrophils.
