ATI Endocrine Pharmacology Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
The effect of food on drugs is described in what part of the MIMS:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: pre and post prandial advice. This section in MIMS provides guidance on how food can affect the absorption and efficacy of drugs. It includes recommendations on whether to take medication with or without food, which can impact drug effectiveness. Choice A, Preg. Cat, focuses on pregnancy category classification of drugs. Choice C, drug category, categorizes drugs based on their therapeutic class. Choice D, abbreviations, lists common medical abbreviations used in drug prescribing. Therefore, the correct answer B is the most relevant section for understanding the effect of food on drugs in MIMS.
Question 2 of 5
Morphine:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: None of the above. Rationale: 1. Morphine is effective when given through various routes, not just subcutaneously. 2. The route of administration can affect the onset of action, with oral administration having a slower onset compared to intravenous. 3. Therefore, morphine is not only effective subcutaneously, can have varying effectiveness based on the route, and does not have a faster onset when administered orally. Summary: A is incorrect as morphine is effective through multiple routes. B is incorrect as the route of administration can impact effectiveness. C is incorrect as oral administration typically results in a slower onset of action.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is administering doxorubicin to a patient in the outpatient oncology clinic. Which information would be most important for the nurse to include in patient teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Option C is correct because doxorubicin is known to cause cardiotoxicity. Symptoms like shortness of breath, palpitations, and edema could indicate heart-related issues and need immediate medical attention to prevent serious complications. Summary of other choices: A: Incorrect. Doxorubicin commonly causes bone marrow suppression leading to low blood counts. B: Incorrect. Alopecia (hair loss) is a common side effect of doxorubicin. D: Incorrect. Tissue necrosis is not a typical side effect of doxorubicin.
Question 4 of 5
An unresponsive patient who was brought to the emergency department has been reportedly taking alprazolam for a severe anxiety disorder after the mother's death. Knowing this history, which drug would the nurse anticipate administering?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Flumazenil. Flumazenil is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist used to reverse the effects of benzodiazepine overdose, such as alprazolam. In this case, the patient's unresponsiveness is likely due to alprazolam overdose, so administering flumazenil would help reverse its effects. A: Mannitol is a diuretic used to reduce intracranial pressure in conditions like cerebral edema. B: Naloxone is an opioid receptor antagonist used to reverse opioid overdose. C: Activated charcoal is used to absorb ingested toxins in cases of poisoning, not for benzodiazepine overdose.
Question 5 of 5
A patient is admitted to the emergency department with signs of respiratory depression after self-injection with hydromorphone. The admitting nurse knows that which drug will reverse respiratory depression caused by opioid overdose?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Naloxone. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that competitively blocks opioid receptors, reversing the effects of opioid overdose such as respiratory depression. It has a rapid onset of action and can quickly restore normal breathing. A: Fentanyl is an opioid agonist, and administering more opioids would worsen respiratory depression. C: Butorphanol is a mixed opioid agonist-antagonist, which may not be as effective in reversing respiratory depression compared to a pure antagonist like naloxone. D: Sufenta is an opioid agonist similar to fentanyl, so it would not reverse respiratory depression caused by opioid overdose.
