ATI Pharmacology The Respiratory System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
What should the nurse include when teaching a patient regarding the use of omeprazole?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), is most effective when taken 30 minutes before meals. This allows the medication to inhibit proton pumps during meal-stimulated acid production. Taking it after (A) or with meals (C) reduces its effectiveness. While it can be taken without regard to meals (D), taking it before meals is optimal.
Question 2 of 5
The 8-year-old patient is receiving methylphenidate (Ritalin). The patient's mother tells the nurse that he won't eat while on his medication. What is the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Methylphenidate curbs appetite-giving it post-meals and adding snacks offsets weight loss, per practical management. Depression isn't indicated-appetite loss is a known effect. Appetite stimulants aren't standard. Nutritionists help long-term, not acutely. Post-meal dosing balances efficacy and nutrition, per care.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse plans to administer medication to the preschool child. Which approach indicates the nurse has an understanding of growth and development?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Preschoolers (3-5) respond to simple explanations and swift action-e.g., 'This helps you feel better,' then give-matching their short attention and trust needs. Parents often calm, not hinder, cooperation. Play aids understanding, not just verbal. Restraint may be needed if uncooperative-age doesn't rule it out. Brief rationale and quick delivery suit developmental stage, minimizing distress.
Question 4 of 5
A patient who is severely anemic also has acute heart failure with severe edema due to fluid
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In a patient who is severely anemic, the primary goal is to raise the hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. Packed red blood cells (PRBCs) contain a concentrated dose of red blood cells and are given to increase oxygen-carrying capacity in cases of significant anemia. Fresh frozen plasma, albumin, and whole blood do not specifically address the issue of low hemoglobin levels, making them less appropriate choices for this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
A 48-year-old woman with 2-year history of rheumatoid arthritis has not had sufficient relief with methotrexate alone. Her physician prescribes etanercept to help control her symptoms. How does etanercept work?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Etanercept, a TNF-α inhibitor, works by inhibiting TNF-α signaling , reducing RA inflammation. Substance P depletion , COX inhibition , and chemotaxis inhibition are unrelated. Arachidonic acid prevention (E) isn't its role. This targets a key RA cytokine.
