ATI Advanced Pharmacology Final Exam I Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A 70-year-old patient has just received a drug that can cause sedation. What would be the priority nursing diagnosis for this patient?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Risk for injury, related to adverse effect of the drug. This is the priority nursing diagnosis because the patient, being 70 years old and receiving a sedating drug, is at an increased risk for falls and other injuries due to sedation. It is crucial for the nurse to monitor the patient closely for signs of sedation and take appropriate measures to prevent potential harm.


Choice A (Deficient Knowledge) is not the priority as the immediate concern is the risk of injury.
Choice B (Ineffective health maintenance) focuses on the need for medication, not the potential risk of injury.
Choice D (Noncompliance) is not relevant in this situation as it pertains to the cost of the drug, not the immediate safety of the patient.
