Chapter 14 Drugs for the Reproductive System Questions
Question 1 of 5
Hormonal agents are used to treat some cancers. An example of these drugs would be:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Estrogen antagonists to treat breast cancer. Estrogen antagonists, such as tamoxifen, are used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer by blocking the effects of estrogen on cancer cells. Thyroxine (A) is used to treat hypothyroidism, not thyroid cancer. ACTH (B) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and is not used to treat adrenal carcinoma. Choice C is blank, so it is not a valid option. Estrogen antagonists are specifically designed to target hormone-driven breast cancer cells, making them an effective treatment option.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse understands the differences between drug excretion in children and that in adults. With this knowledge, what does the nurse consider when administering drugs to children?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because children tend to have slower excretion of drugs compared to adults due to their immature renal and hepatic function. This can lead to drug accumulation in their system, which increases the risk of toxicity. Therefore, the nurse must prioritize assessing for signs of drug accumulation when administering medications to children. Choice A is incorrect because not all children require higher doses of drugs; dosing is based on factors such as weight and age. Choice B is incomplete. Choice C is incorrect as children may not always excrete drugs rapidly; it depends on the drug and the child's individual factors.
Question 3 of 5
The father of a 4-month-old infant calls in to the clinic reporting that his child is having a reaction to immunizations. What is the most important piece of information the nurse should elicit?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because knowing the signs and symptoms the infant is experiencing will help the nurse assess the severity of the reaction and determine the appropriate course of action. This information is crucial for timely and effective intervention. A: While knowing the time the immunization was received is important, it is not as critical as understanding the current signs and symptoms the infant is experiencing. B: Whether the father has given the infant any acetaminophen is relevant but does not provide direct information on the infant's reaction to immunizations. D: The sites used to administer the immunizations are important for evaluating potential local reactions, but assessing the overall signs and symptoms takes precedence for determining the appropriate response.
Question 4 of 5
A 14-year-old girl requests a vaccination for human papillomavirus. After the nurse administers the first dose, which of the following is important to include in the patient's teaching?
Correct Answer: E
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
A patient in her first trimester of pregnancy calls the nurse to ask for suggestions on decreasing nausea in the morning when she awakens. Which nonpharmacologic measures would the nurse be aware of to decrease nausea and vomiting? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Eating dry toast before rising. Dry toast can help absorb stomach acid and provide a bland source of nutrition, reducing nausea. Other choices are incorrect because eating high-fat foods (D) can worsen nausea, eating a high-protein bedtime snack (C) may not address morning nausea, and while eating small frequent meals (B) can help, it is not specific to morning nausea upon waking.
