Question 1 of 5
Which is not one of the rights of medication administration?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The five rights of medication administration are: the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time. These are essential principles to ensure safe and effective medication administration. The attitude of the healthcare provider is important for delivering care, but it is not included as one of the fundamental rights of medication administration. It is important for healthcare providers to approach medication administration with professionalism, compassion, and attentiveness, but it is not considered one of the primary rights in the context of medication administration protocols.
Question 2 of 5
Samuel, a 65-year-old patient comes into the hospital for an anginal attack. Which of the following is an important nursing intervention when administering Nitroglycerine?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: It is important to remove the transdermal Nitroglycerine patch for 10-12 hours every night to prevent the development of tolerance. Tolerance can occur when the body becomes less responsive to the medication over time, reducing its effectiveness. By allowing a break in Nitroglycerine administration overnight, tolerance development can be minimized, ensuring the medication remains effective for the patient when needed. This nursing intervention helps to maintain the efficacy of Nitroglycerine in managing anginal attacks for the patient.
Question 3 of 5
What Medication is used as a Bronchodialtor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Albuterol is a medication commonly used as a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and increasing airflow to the lungs. This medication is commonly used to treat conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory issues where bronchodilation is needed to ease breathing difficulties. Warfarin is an anticoagulant used to prevent blood clots, Lovastatin is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels, and Valproate is an anticonvulsant used to treat seizures.
Question 4 of 5
What is the theraputic classification of Atropine?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Atropine belongs to the therapeutic class of antiarrhythmics. It is commonly used to treat and prevent certain types of abnormal heart rhythms, including bradycardia (slow heart rate) and heart block. Atropine works by blocking acetylcholine receptors in the heart, leading to an increase in heart rate and improved conduction of electrical impulses in the heart. This helps to restore normal heart rhythm and improve cardiac function in patients with specific arrhythmias.
Question 5 of 5
A balanced anesthetic technique for production of general anesthesia may include which of the following drugs?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A balanced anesthetic technique for producing general anesthesia usually involves a combination of different types of drugs to achieve the desired level of unconsciousness, analgesia, muscle relaxation, and amnesia while minimizing adverse effects. The use of multiple drugs simultaneously allows for lower doses of each drug, reducing the risk of toxicity and adverse side effects. In a typical balanced anesthesia regimen, an inhalation anesthetic is used for the maintenance of anesthesia, a narcotic provides analgesia, a muscle relaxant is used to facilitate intubation and reduce muscle movements during surgery, and an IV barbiturate may be used as an induction agent to initiate anesthesia. Therefore, all of the options provided - an inhalation anesthetic, a narcotic, a muscle relaxant, and an IV barbiturate - are commonly included in a balanced anesthetic technique for producing general anesthesia.
