Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ondansetron can be administered through two main routes: orally (PO) and intravenously (IV). PO administration involves taking the medication by mouth, typically in the form of tablets or oral dissolving films. IV administration is done by injecting the medication directly into a vein, allowing for rapid onset of action. Ondansetron is not typically administered subcutaneously (C) or intramuscularly (IM).
Question 2 of 5
The patient asks the nurse why she needs to continue using table salt because her prescribed lithium (Eskalith) is a salt. What is the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Lithium competes with sodium-adequate salt and hydration (1-1.5 L water) prevent toxicity by aiding excretion, per pharmacokinetics. Sea salt isn't less needed-sodium's the key. Retention isn't direct-hydration matters more. Increasing salt for toxicity is reactive, not preventive. Water trumps salt, clarifying use.
Question 3 of 5
The physician has prescribed a brand name drug for the client. The client tells the nurse that the medication is too expensive. What is the best plan by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Generic drugs, bioequivalent to brand names, cost less, making substitution the best plan to address expense while maintaining therapy. Assistance programs help but delay access. Cheaper brands may not exist or differ therapeutically. Samples are unsustainable. Generics offer a practical, immediate solution, widely supported by formularies, aligning with cost-effective care.
Question 4 of 5
A 27-year-old man with HIV disease and hepatitis B is hospitalized for treatment of his hepatitis B. He has begun on intravenous treatment with interferon. After administration, he develops fever, chills, and myalgias. Physical examination reveals that the lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. What is the most likely explanation for this reaction?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Interferon for hepatitis B commonly causes fever, chills, and myalgias as an expected adverse event . Drug toxicity implies overdose. Pneumonias (C, D, E) lack lung findings. This flu-like reaction is typical, resolving with continued use.
Question 5 of 5
While assessing a patient who is taking a beta blocker for angina, the nurse knows to monitor for which adverse effect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Beta blockers are medications commonly used to treat angina by reducing the heart's workload and oxygen demand. One common side effect of beta blockers is bradycardia, which is a slower than normal heart rate. Since beta blockers work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, they can slow down the heart rate. It is important for the nurse to monitor the patient for signs and symptoms of bradycardia, such as fatigue, dizziness, and confusion, especially when assessing a patient taking beta blockers for angina.
