Question 1 of 5
Thick, viscid, adhesive liquids made by dispersing gum in water
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: mucilage. Mucilage refers to thick, viscid, adhesive liquids made by dispersing gum in water. Effervescent (A) means producing bubbles in a liquid, not related to gum dispersion. Spirits (C) are alcoholic beverages, unrelated to the given description. Collyria (D) are eye lotions, not related to the characteristics described. Therefore, B is the correct choice.
Question 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
The cell and Coombs classification system categorizes allergic reactions and is useful in describing and classifying patient reactions to drugs. Type I reactions are immediate hypersensitivity reactions and are mediated by:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: immunoglobulin E (IgE). IgE is responsible for mediating Type I immediate hypersensitivity reactions, such as allergic reactions. IgE binds to allergens and triggers the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells, leading to symptoms like hives and anaphylaxis. IgG (B), IgA (C), and IgM (D) are not typically involved in Type I allergic reactions. IgG is involved in Type II and Type III hypersensitivity reactions, IgA is related to mucosal immunity, and IgM is mainly involved in the primary immune response.
