Cardiovascular Drugs Chapter 11 Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
While a patient is receiving antilipemic therapy, the nurse knows to monitor the patient closely for the development of which problem?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Liver dysfunction. Antilipemic therapy can impact liver function due to the role of the liver in metabolizing lipids. Monitoring for liver dysfunction is crucial to prevent potential complications. Neutropenia (A) is unrelated to antilipemic therapy. Pulmonary problems (B) are not typically associated with this therapy. Vitamin C deficiency (C) is not a common concern in antilipemic treatment. In summary, monitoring for liver dysfunction is essential due to the potential impact of antilipemic therapy on liver function.
Question 2 of 5
The most rapid eliminated drugs are those with high glomerular filtration rate and actively secreted but aren’t passively reabsorbed:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Drugs with high glomerular filtration rate are quickly filtered into the renal tubules, and those actively secreted enhance elimination. Furthermore, not being passively reabsorbed prevents reabsorption into the bloodstream, leading to rapid elimination. Choice B is incorrect because it contradicts the concept of rapid drug elimination based on renal processes. Choice C is incorrect as it does not provide any information. Choice D is incorrect because not all drugs have high glomerular filtration rate, active secretion, and lack of passive reabsorption, which are key factors for rapid elimination.
Question 3 of 5
Indicate the local anesthetic, which is an ester of paraaminobenzoic acid:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 1. Procaine is an ester-type local anesthetic derived from paraaminobenzoic acid. 2. Esters of paraaminobenzoic acid have the suffix "-caine" in their generic names. 3. Mepivacaine, lidocaine, and cocaine are all amide-type local anesthetics. 4. Cocaine is derived from the coca plant and not from paraaminobenzoic acid.
Question 4 of 5
A M-cholinimimetic agent is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Pilocarpine. Pilocarpine is a M-cholinomimetic agent because it selectively activates muscarinic receptors. It is commonly used to treat conditions like glaucoma by causing pupillary constriction and lowering intraocular pressure. Carbachol (A) and Bethanechol (D) are non-selective cholinomimetics, affecting both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. Acetylcholine (C) is not a practical drug due to its rapid degradation by acetylcholinesterase.
Question 5 of 5
The atropine poisoning includes all of the following symptoms EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because atropine poisoning typically causes tachycardia due to its anticholinergic effects. Mydriasis, cycloplegia (A), hyperthermia, dry mouth, hot and flushed skin (B), and agitation, delirium (C) are common symptoms of atropine poisoning. Bradycardia and orthostatic hypotension (D) are not typically associated with atropine poisoning due to its anticholinergic effects.
