Question 1 of 5
Which type of classification system is being used when drugs are grouped together because they help treat a particular disease or condition?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Therapeutic classification groups drugs by disease or condition treated (e.g., antihypertensives for hypertension), focusing on clinical use. Mechanism of action (e.g., beta-blockers) targets how drugs work. Chemical classification uses structure. Pharmacological overlaps but emphasizes action. Therapeutic fits, reflecting treatment purpose, a practical nursing framework.

Question 3 of 5
A 32-year-old anesthesiology resident injects himself with ketamine after he is served with divorce papers from his wife. In addition to being suspended from his hospital because of his actions, he would likely exhibit which of the following behaviors?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ketamine, an NMDA antagonist, causes dissociative anesthesia. Slurred speech is correct-users often exhibit altered speech, disorientation, and motor impairment. Hypersensitivity to pain contradicts ketamine's analgesia. Loss of consciousness occurs at high doses, but self-injection suggests sub-anesthetic use. Normal gait is unlikely due to ataxia. Tranquil affect (E) doesn't fit agitation or dissociation. Slurred speech reflects ketamine's CNS depression, consistent with abuse scenarios.
