Chapter 01: The Nursing Process and Drug Therapy
MULTIPLE CHOICE


1. During an intravenous (IV) infusion of amphotericin B, a patient develops
tingling and numbnessin his toes and fingers. What will the nurse do first?
a. Discontinue the infusion immediately.
b. Reduce the infusion rate gradually until the adverse effects subside.
c. Administer the medication by rapid IV infusion to reduce these effects.
d. Nothing; these are expected side effects of this medication.


- ANSWER: A
Once the intravenous infusion of amphotericin B has begun, vital signs must be
monitored frequently to assess for adverse reactions such as cardiac dysrhythmias,
visual disturbances, paresthesias (numbness or tingling of the hands or feet),
respiratory difficulty, pain, fever, chills,and nausea. If these adverse effects or a
severe reaction occur, the infusion must be discontinued(while the patient is
closely monitored) and the prescriber contacted. The other options are incorrect.

The nurse is writing a nursing diagnosis for a plan of care for a patient who has
been newlydiagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which statement reflects the correct
format for a nursing diagnosis?
a. Anxiety
b. Anxiety related to new drug therapy
c. Anxiety related to anxious feelings about drug therapy, as evidenced by
statements
such as “I’m upset about having to test my blood sugars.”
d. Anxiety related to new drug therapy, as evidenced by statements such as
“I’m
upset about having to test my blood sugars.”


- ANSWER: D
Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-step process. “Anxiety” is
missing the
“related to” and “as evidenced by” portions of defining characteristics. “Anxiety
related to new drug therapy” is missing the “as evidenced by” portion of defining
characteristics. The statementbeginning “Anxiety related to anxious feelings” is
incorrect because the “related to” section is simply a restatement of the problem
“anxiety,” not a separate factor related to the response.

2. The patient is to receive oral guaifenesin (Mucinex) twice a day. Today, the
nurse was busy andgave the medication 2 hours after the scheduled dose was due.
What type of problem does this represent?
a. “Right time”
b. “Right dose”
c. “Right route”
d. “Right
medication”


- ANSWER: A
“Right time” is correct because the medication was given more than 30 minutes
after the scheduled dose was due. “Dose” is incorrect because the dose is not
related to the time the
medication administration is scheduled. “Route” is incorrect because the route is
not affected.“Medication” is incorrect because the medication ordered will not
change.
