Answers (100% Pass)
A nurse is preparing to administer the antibiotic for a hospitalized patient who
acquired a Methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus (MRSA) infection. Based on the
nurses' knowledge of antibiotics for the treatment of MRSA, which medication
...
A hospitalized patient is receiving gentamicin (Garamycin) 80 mg IV twice daily
for acute osteomyelitis. Which data about the patient is most important for the
nurse to obtain before administering the gentamicin?
a.) oral temperature
b.) reports of nausea
c.) BUN and creatinine levels
d.) when an antacid was administered - Answer✔️✔️-Answer: C
Rationale: Although the patient's temperature will be monitored on a regular basis
in the hospital, gentamicin is nephrotoxic and can cause renal failure. Therefore
monitoring renal function is critical. Nausea is not a common side effect of IV
gentamicin. Because the drug is administered IV, an antacid will not affect
absorption of the gentamicin.
A patient has acquired hospital-associated MRSA. Which drug does the nurse
anticipate will be ordered to treat this infection?
vancomycin (Vancocin)
