Question 1 of 5

Gold sodium thiomalate is prescribed to a client with rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following side effects indicates an overdose of the medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following drugs causes the most significant inhibition of metabolism of rifabutin?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rifabutin, metabolized by CYP3A4, is affected by inhibitors. Zidovudine, enfuvirtide, and nevirapine don't strongly inhibit CYP3A4. St John's wort induces it, lowering levels. Ritonavir, a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, significantly slows rifabutin metabolism, raising levels and toxicity risk (e.g., uveitis), the most impactful. This interaction requires dose adjustment, critical in HIV-TB co-treatment.

Question 3 of 5

Regarding drugs used in the treatment of status epilepsy:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Phenytoin controls status epilepticus via anticonvulsant action, not sedation, so that's false. It precipitates in dextrose, only saline-compatible, making that false. Diazepam's effect is short-lived, not long-lasting, so that's incorrect. Phenobarbitone commonly causes respiratory depression, a true statement, due to CNS suppression. Phenytoin's rate is 50 mg/min max. This side effect limits phenobarbitone's use, requiring ventilatory support in status management.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is teaching a class for clients about over-the-counter (OTC) medications. The nurse determines that education has been effective when the clients make which statement?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Reading OTC labels and seeking clarification from a doctor if unclear ensures safe use, reflecting effective education on responsibility. Always calling the doctor is overly cautious-OTC drugs are for self-management. Pharmacists help, but label-reading is primary. Assuming OTC safety ignores risks like ibuprofen's bleeding potential. Label focus empowers clients, balancing autonomy with safety, a key learning outcome.

Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
