Question 1 of 5
What non-addictive, non-benzodiazepine is commonly implemented for patients who suffer from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Buspirone (BuSpar). Buspirone is commonly used for patients with GAD due to its non-addictive nature and lack of sedative effects like benzodiazepines. It works by affecting serotonin receptors in the brain, reducing anxiety symptoms. ECG changes (choice B) are not a treatment for GAD. Valium (choice C) is a benzodiazepine, which can be addictive and is not recommended for long-term use in GAD. Divalproex (Depakote) (choice D) is typically used for mood disorders like bipolar disorder and not as a first-line treatment for GAD.
Question 2 of 5
Which serious side effect of Elavil requires immediate intervention? A. Orthostatic hypotension B. Urinary retention C. ECG changes D. Sedation
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Urinary retention. Elavil, a tricyclic antidepressant, can cause anticholinergic effects leading to urinary retention, which can be a serious side effect requiring immediate intervention to prevent complications like urinary retention, necessitating prompt medical attention to prevent potential complications such as bladder distention or urinary retention-induced kidney damage. A: Orthostatic hypotension - While Elavil can cause orthostatic hypotension, it is not typically considered a serious side effect that requires immediate intervention. C: ECG changes - Elavil can cause ECG changes, but they may not always necessitate immediate intervention. D: Sedation - Sedation is a common side effect of Elavil but is not typically considered a serious side effect requiring immediate intervention.
Question 3 of 5
When administering medications, a nurse would hold which medication for a patient who presents with jaundice? A. Valium B. Divalproex (Depakote) C. Lithium D. Verapamil
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Divalproex (Depakote). Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes due to liver dysfunction. Divalproex is metabolized in the liver, and in patients with jaundice, liver function may be compromised, leading to potential toxicity. Therefore, holding Divalproex for a patient with jaundice is essential to prevent further liver damage. A: Valium is primarily metabolized in the liver, but it is generally safe to use in patients with mild to moderate liver impairment. C: Lithium is primarily cleared through the kidneys, so liver dysfunction would not directly impact its clearance. D: Verapamil is also primarily metabolized in the liver, but it is not contraindicated in patients with jaundice unless there is severe liver impairment.
