ATI Pharmacology Made Easy 4.0 The Hematologic System Questions
Question 1 of 5
The physician has prescribed haloperidol (Haldol) for the patient with schizophrenia. What is the priority patient outcome?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Haloperidol treats schizophrenia's positive symptoms, but compliance is the priority outcome, as relapse follows non-adherence. Fluids/fiber manage side effects. Hallucination reduction depends on compliance. Restlessness signals issues, not a goal. B ensures treatment success, making it the priority.
Question 2 of 5
The following drugs are most commonly associated with ototoxicity:
Correct Answer: B

Question 3 of 5
Which statement about ARBs does the nurse identify as being true?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) are less likely to cause cough compared to ACE inhibitors. However, one of the notable adverse effects associated with ARBs is hyperkalemia. ARBs can lead to an increase in potassium levels in the blood more so than ACE inhibitors. Therefore, the nurse should recognize that hyperkalemia is more likely to occur with ARBs than when using ACE inhibitors.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is providing education about the use of sublingual nitroglycerin tablets. She asks the patient, What would you do if you experienced chest pain while mowing your yard? You have your bottle of sublingual nitroglycerin with you. Which actions by the patient are appropriate in this situation? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
A patient who is severely anemic also has acute heart failure with severe edema due to fluid
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Packed red blood cells (PRBCs) are the most appropriate blood product for a severely anemic patient who needs an increase in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. PRBC transfusions provide a concentrated dose of red blood cells to improve oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood. This can help address the anemia and improve symptoms related to decreased oxygen delivery to tissues, such as fatigue and weakness. Fresh frozen plasma, albumin, and whole blood do not specifically target the anemia in this scenario and are not the primary choice for raising hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in a patient with severe anemia and acute heart failure.
