Question 3 of 5
When counseling a male patient about the possible adverse effects of antihypertensive drugs, the nurse will discuss which potential problem?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Antihypertensive drugs, specifically beta-blockers and diuretics, are known to potentially cause sexual dysfunction in male patients, including impotence. Impotence or erectile dysfunction can be a side effect of these medications due to their mechanism of action on blood vessels and circulation. It is important for healthcare providers to discuss this potential adverse effect with male patients to ensure they are informed and can seek appropriate management or alternative treatments if needed. Bradycardia, increased libido, and weight gain are also possible side effects of antihypertensive drugs, but impotence is a specific concern related to male sexual health that should be addressed during counseling.
Question 4 of 5
In the case of a Heparin overdose, which antidote would you give?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Heparin is an anticoagulant medication that can lead to excessive bleeding if overdosed. Protamine sulfate is the specific antidote for heparin overdose. It works by binding to heparin and neutralizing its anticoagulant effects. This helps to reverse the effects of heparin and prevent further bleeding complications. In cases of heparin overdose or when rapid reversal of heparin's anticoagulant effects is required, protamine sulfate should be administered. Naloxone is used as an antidote for opioid overdose, Ibutilide is a antiarrhythmic medication used for atrial fibrillation, and Methylphenidate is a stimulant medication used for ADHD.
