ATI Nursing 100 Day Exam 4 Fundamentals Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse has applied a topical agent to the client's skin and then applies an ice pack to the area. This is done to:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Slow absorption of the drug. Applying an ice pack to the skin after a topical agent helps to vasoconstrict blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the area. This, in turn, slows down the absorption of the drug into the bloodstream, providing localized effects and decreasing the risk of systemic absorption. This is particularly useful for medications that are intended to have a local effect and should not enter the systemic circulation in high amounts.

Incorrect answers:
A: Decrease discomfort to the skin - While applying an ice pack may help decrease discomfort, the primary purpose in this scenario is related to drug absorption.
C: Enhance drug excretion - Applying an ice pack would not enhance drug excretion.
D: Maximize drug distribution - The ice pack would not maximize drug distribution but rather slow down absorption.
