Question 1 of 5
Which of the following are the four categories of pharmacokinetics?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pharmacokinetics comprises absorption (entry to blood), distribution (to tissues), metabolism (chemical change), and excretion (removal)-standard categories tracking a drug's journey. Others mix processes or invent terms (e.g., interspersing), lacking precision. These four define the field, essential for dosing and effect.
Question 2 of 5
The client has arthritis and has just learned that she is pregnant. What is the best instruction by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
A 3-year-old girl was found by her mother chewing on some weeds in their flower garden. The mother rushed her to the hospital along with a portion of the weed. The emergency department physician identifies the weed as deadly nightshade, which contains atropine. Which of the following physiologic changes will be expected because of this patient's atropine exposure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Deadly nightshade (atropine) blocks muscarinic receptors. Decreased gastric acid secretion is correct-atropine inhibits parasympathetic stimulation of parietal cells. Bradycardia is wrong; tachycardia occurs. Increased bronchial secretions and salivation decrease, as does miosis (E)-pupils dilate. This anticholinergic effect explains the expected change in this poisoning.
