ATI Pharmacology Proctored Exam Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The patient receives a drug that is excreted in the bile. What will the best nursing assessment of the effect of this drug on the patient include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Biliary excretion (e.g., rifampin) can prolong a drug's action via enterohepatic recycling-reabsorption from the gut extends duration, a key assessment point. Side effects don't inherently increase or decrease-dose and metabolism matter. Reduced effect assumes loss, not recycling. Prolonged action reflects pharmacokinetics, guiding monitoring for efficacy and toxicity.

Question 3 of 5
A 24-year-old sexually active woman presents to her primary care physician with vaginal itching and a greenish, frothy vaginal discharge. Her boyfriend is asymptomatic. She is prescribed metronidazole for Trichomonas vaginalis. Which of the following should be told to avoid while taking metronidazole?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Metronidazole treats Trichomonas vaginalis, and alcohol must be avoided. It inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase, causing a disulfiram-like reaction (nausea, flushing). Aspirin , caffeine , grapefruit juice , and machinery (E) lack this interaction. This precaution prevents severe discomfort, ensuring treatment adherence.
