ATI Pharmacology Final Exam 1 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client is admitted with a fever of 102.80 F (39.30 C), origin unknown. Assessment reveals cloudy, foul-smelling urine that is dark amber in color. Orders have just been written to obtain stat urine and blood cultures and to administer an antibiotic intravenously. The nurse will complete these orders in which sequence?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct sequence is to obtain blood and urine cultures first, followed by administering the antibiotic dose. This is because identifying the source of infection through cultures is crucial before starting antibiotic therapy to ensure the most appropriate treatment. Blood cultures are usually obtained first as they can help identify systemic infections, followed by urine cultures to determine if the urinary tract is involved. Administering the antibiotic before obtaining cultures may lead to false-negative results or inappropriate treatment.
Therefore, choice A is correct.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the proper sequence of obtaining cultures before administering antibiotics, which is essential for effective treatment.
