Question 4 of 5
The AGACNP is receiving report from the recovery room on a patient who just had surgical resection for pheochromocytoma. He knows that which class of drugs should be available immediately to manage hypertensive crisis, a possible consequence of physical manipulation of the adrenal medulla?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Surgical manipulation of the adrenal medulla during resection of a pheochromocytoma can result in the release of catecholamines leading to a hypertensive crisis. Alpha-adrenergic antagonists, such as phenoxybenzamine or prazosin, are the drugs of choice for managing hypertensive crisis in this situation. These medications block the alpha-adrenergic receptors, leading to vasodilation and lowering of blood pressure. Beta-adrenergic antagonists are contraindicated in this scenario due to the risk of unopposed alpha-adrenergic stimulation that could worsen the hypertension. Intravenous vasodilators and arteriolar dilators may be used as adjunctive therapy but alpha-adrenergic antagonists are the primary agents for managing hypertensive crisis in this context.
Question 5 of 5
Ms. Carpenter is a 28-year-old female who presents in significant pain she indicates that the discomfort is in the right lower quadrant. The discomfort is colicky in nature and has the patient in tears. Which of the following associated findings increases the index of suspicion for ureteral colic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hematuria (blood in the urine) is a common associated finding in ureteral colic. The presence of blood in the urine suggests that there may be damage or irritation to the urinary tract, typically caused by the passage of a kidney stone through the ureter. Along with the sharp, colicky pain in the right lower quadrant, the presence of hematuria significantly raises the suspicion for ureteral colic.
