Angiotension II receptor agents medications

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Angiotensin II receptor agents, also known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), have medication names that typically end in "sartan." Examples of angiotensin II receptor agents include losartan, valsartan, irbesartan, and telmisartan. Therefore, option A, "sar-tan," is the correct answer that matches the medication naming convention for this drug class.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Morphine is a potent opioid analgesic that is commonly used for pain management, but it is not typically used to treat diarrhea and dysentery. Instead, medications such as loperamide or diphenoxylate/atropine are more commonly employed for managing diarrhea. Morphine can actually cause constipation as a side effect due to its action on opioid receptors in the gut. Therefore, the statement that morphine is used to treat diarrhea and dysentery is false.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: An autologous blood product is the safest option because it involves the patient donating their own blood before surgery, eliminating the risk of transfusion reactions or infections from donor blood. Allogeneic products come from other donors and carry a small risk of infection or incompatibility. Directed donations are from known donors but still carry some risks. Cross-matching ensures compatibility but does not eliminate infection risks. Therefore, autologous donation is the safest choice.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The iPLEDGE program is a risk management program for isotretinoin to prevent fetal exposure. Patients must review iPLEDGE educational materials (B) and provide a negative pregnancy test before each monthly refill (C). Two methods of contraception are required, not one (A). Informed consent is required (D is incorrect). A 30-day, not 60-day, supply is prescribed (E is incorrect).

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Actifed Plus combines acetaminophen (an analgesic) with antihistamine and decongestant, relieving pain alongside allergy symptoms. Sudafed PE and Triaminic contain chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine, no analgesics. Tavist has clemastine alone. Choice D's analgesic property distinguishes it, relevant for nurses advising on OTC options.
