GRADED SUCCESS A+
1.A nurse working on a medical-surgical unit administers a prescribed hypnotic medication
to an older adult client at 9:00 PM to assist with sleep. The following morning, the client
remains drowsy and expresses a desire to continue sleeping rather than participating in
normal morning activities like eating breakfast. The nurse is reviewing the client’s medical
history and medication profile to determine the potential cause of the prolonged
drowsiness. Which of the following factors should the nurse identify as contributing to this
prolonged effect of the medication on the older adult client?
A) Diminished liver function leading to delayed medication metabolism
B) Accelerated gastrointestinal motility speeding up drug absorption
C) Decreased cardiovascular function causing slower circulation of the drug
D) Increased absorption in the intestines due to first-pass effect
Correct Answer: A) Diminished liver function leading to delayed medication metabolism
Explanation:
Older adults often have reduced liver function leading to decreased metabolism of medications.
This can cause hypnotic drugs to remain active in the bloodstream longer resulting in prolonged
drowsiness. Consequently, the client may need a lower dosage to avoid excessive sedation. Other
factors such as cardiac function or first-pass metabolism are less relevant in this situation.
2.A nurse is getting ready to administer medications to a patient. Which of the following
actions should the nurse take to ensure legal and safe medication administration? Select all
that apply:
A) Decide the appropriate dose of medication.
B) Ensure competency in medication administration.
C) Watch for any harmful side effects.
D) Diagnose the patient’s condition.
E) Secure and store medications properly.
Correct Answer: B) Ensure competency in medication administration, C) Watch for
any harmful side effects., D) Secure and store medications properly
Explanation:
To meet legal and professional standards, a nurse must be competent (B) in medication
administration, including knowledge of techniques, drug interactions and routes. Nurses must
also monitor for adverse effects (C) to ensure early detection and prevent complications.
Securing and storing medications properly (E), especially controlled substances, is essential to
prevent misuse. Determining the dose (A) is the prescriber’s responsibility and diagnosing (D) is
the role of the healthcare provider.
