Chapter 14 Drugs for the Reproductive System Questions
Question 1 of 5
The following is/are beneficial in endometriosis:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, "All of the above." Norethindrone, Nafarelin, and Danazol are all beneficial in managing endometriosis. Norethindrone is a progestin that helps regulate menstrual cycles and reduce pain. Nafarelin is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist that suppresses ovarian function, reducing estrogen levels. Danazol is a synthetic androgen that suppresses estrogen production and inhibits the growth of endometrial tissue. Therefore, all three medications address different aspects of endometriosis, making them effective treatment options.
Question 2 of 5
Clomiphene citrate is indicated for the following condition/conditions:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because clomiphene citrate is a medication commonly used to treat both female infertility due to anovular cycles and male infertility due to oligozoospermia. For females, clomiphene citrate helps stimulate ovulation, increasing the chances of conception. In males with oligozoospermia, clomiphene citrate can improve sperm count and motility. Option A is correct as mentioned, and option B is also correct as clomiphene citrate can be used in male infertility cases. Option C, endometriosis, is incorrect as clomiphene citrate is not indicated for this condition.
Question 3 of 5
One of the most important patient education for a patient receiving CNS stimulants is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Drug interactions. When a patient receives CNS stimulants, it's crucial to educate them about potential drug interactions to prevent adverse effects or reduced efficacy. This information helps ensure the safe and effective use of the medication. Proper storage of drugs (A) is important but not as critical as understanding drug interactions. A low-sodium diet (B) and light to moderate exercises (C) are generally not directly related to CNS stimulant use and are not the most important patient education in this context.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
An emergency room nurse is observing a 22 year old client who has been using opiods. The following symptoms will be an indication of overdose:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Pupillary dilation and hypertensive crisis. Pupillary dilation is a hallmark sign of opioid overdose due to sympathetic nervous system stimulation. Hypertensive crisis can occur as a result of sympathetic overstimulation. Constricted pupils and hypotension (choice A) are seen in opioid use but not overdose. Tachypnea and vomiting (choice B) are common in opioid overdose but not specific indicators. Tremors and ataxia (choice D) are not typical signs of opioid overdose.
