Question 1 of 5
Which of these medications orders are complete? Select all that apply
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: Choice B, "Multivitamin," is the only complete medication order as it provides the medication name along with the route and dose. Option A is missing the frequency, Choice C lacks the route, dose, and frequency details, and Option D is missing the duration of treatment. Therefore, only Choice B is a complete medication order.
Question 2 of 5
A parent of a 5 year old child with allergic rhinitis is seeking an approved treatment to make the child feel better. which of the following is recommended?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: Cetirizine is recommended for allergic rhinitis in children due to its safety and effectiveness. Step 2: Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine with minimal sedative effects, making it suitable for children. Step 3: Cetirizine has a longer duration of action compared to first-generation antihistamines like Diphenhydramine and Promethazine. Step 4: Medizine is not a commonly used medication for allergic rhinitis, so it is not recommended. Step 5: Diphenhydramine and Promethazine are first-generation antihistamines with sedative effects, not ideal for children.
Question 3 of 5
A patient diagnosed with heart failure (HF) and taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, has developed fibrotic changes in the heart and vessels. Which type of medication will the provider order to counter this development?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Aldosterone antagonist. In heart failure, aldosterone contributes to fibrotic changes in the heart and vessels. Aldosterone antagonists like spironolactone or eplerenone can counteract this development by blocking the effects of aldosterone, reducing fibrosis, and improving cardiac function. Beta blockers (A) help in HF by reducing workload on the heart, ARBs (B) block the effects of angiotensin II but do not directly target aldosterone, DRIs (C) inhibit renin production but do not directly block aldosterone effects.
Question 4 of 5
In groups of people are at high risk for early hypertension?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: African American. African Americans are at high risk for early hypertension due to genetic predispositions, higher prevalence of obesity, and socioeconomic factors. They have higher rates of high blood pressure and complications at a younger age compared to other groups. Adolescents or young adults (B) can develop hypertension, but it is not as prevalent compared to African Americans. Mexican American culture (C) and Mediterranean populations (D) may have lower rates of hypertension compared to African Americans due to dietary habits and lifestyle factors.
Question 5 of 5
Below question: don't know the correct combination. Below is what was picked but incorrect. The NP explains to the NP students about penicillin. Which is true about penicillin? Select all that apply

Answer C is correct because penicillin primarily targets actively growing and dividing bacteria. Answer A is incorrect because penicillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, not by causing bacteria to take up excess water and rupture. Answer D is incorrect because penicillin is bactericidal, meaning it kills bacteria, as opposed to being bacteriostatic, which inhibits bacterial growth.
