Question 1 of 5
Which is not one of the rights of medication administration?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The rights of medication administration include the right patient, right medication, right dose, right route, right time, and right documentation. However, "right attitude" is not one of the recognized rights of medication administration. While having a positive and professional attitude is important for healthcare providers, it is not specifically listed as a distinct right in medication administration protocols.
Question 2 of 5
A patient has overdosed on Warfarin, what should be given to the patient to be reveresed?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Warfarin is an anticoagulant medication that works by inhibiting vitamin K-dependent clotting factors in the body. Overdosing on warfarin can lead to excessive bleeding due to the lack of functional clotting factors. To reverse the effects of warfarin overdose, Vitamin K is given because it helps the body restore the levels of clotting factors that were reduced by warfarin. Vitamin K promotes the synthesis of clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X, which allows the blood to clot effectively again. Therefore, in the case of a warfarin overdose, Vitamin K is the appropriate antidote to help reverse the anticoagulant effects.
Question 3 of 5
Component of local anesthetic solution which serves as vasoconstrictor:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Levonordefrin is a vasoconstrictor that is commonly added to local anesthetic solutions to help reduce bleeding and prolong the anesthetic effect by constricting blood vessels at the injection site. Methylparaben, sodium bisulfite, and sodium pyrosulfite are not vasoconstrictors and do not serve this specific function in local anesthetic solutions.

Question 5 of 5
A patient has been receiving intravenous heparin. When laboratory tests are drawn, the nurse has difficulty
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Protamine sulfate is the specific antidote for heparin, which is used to reverse the effects of heparin in cases of bleeding or elevated PTT/aPTT levels. It works by binding to heparin, neutralizing its anticoagulant activity. Therefore, in this scenario where the patient is experiencing bloody stools, abdominal pain, and has elevated PTT/aPTT levels, the appropriate action for the nurse to take is to obtain an order for protamine sulfate to reverse the effects of heparin. This will help normalize the patient's coagulation profile and manage any bleeding complications associated with heparin therapy.
