ATI Pharmacology Made Easy 4.0 The Hematologic System Questions
Question 1 of 5
The following drugs are most commonly associated with ototoxicity:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gentamicin is highly associated with ototoxicity, especially in patients with preexisting renal impairment or prolonged use.
Question 2 of 5
A 53-year-old man spends his mornings outside gardening. He frequently develops tension headaches, and the only medication he keeps at home is aspirin. After taking two regular-sized aspirin tablets almost daily for a few weeks, which of the following side effects is he most at risk for?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Daily aspirin for weeks risks tinnitus , a COX-inhibition side effect from salicylate buildup. Angina , insomnia , and nephrolithiasis aren't typical. Hypercoagulability opposes its action. Tinnitus reflects ototoxicity, common with frequent use.
Question 3 of 5

Question 4 of 5
A 13-year-old male has begun having spells of wheezing and difficulty breathing while playing outside. He is diagnosed with asthma and given an inhaler to treat acute attacks. His medication is working well, but he would also like something to prevent attacks from happening. Which of the following drugs would be best to add to his regimen?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Asthma prevention in a child needs a long-acting agent. Salmeterol , a long-acting β2-agonist, reduces attack frequency. Albuterol and Epinephrine are short-acting. Ipratropium aids acute relief. Isoproterenol (E) is outdated. Salmeterol's prolonged bronchodilation suits prophylaxis.
Question 5 of 5
The home care nurse is caring for a patient newly prescribed a nonselective beta-blocking agent. What would the nurse include in the teaching plan related to this drug? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Patients should be taught to change position slowly, avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery, and to pace activities as a result of potential dizziness from orthostatic hypotension in order to avoid injury. Patients should take medicine with meals when possible. Drug is more likely to decrease libido than increase it. Activity levels should be paced and care should be taken not to overdo. The nurse should provide comprehensive patient education to ensure safe and effective use of the medication.
