MN553 Final Exam
Question 1
The Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act:
Includes a pediatric exclusivity rule which extends the patent on drugs studied in
children
Establishes a committee that writes guidelines for pediatric prescribing
Provides funding for new drug development aimed at children
Encourages manufacturers specifically to develop pediatric formulations
Question2 point
Patient education regarding taking iron replacements includes:
Doubling the dose if they miss a dose to maintain therapeutic levels
Taking the iron with milk or crackers if it upsets their stomach
Iron is best taken on an empty stomach with juice
Antacids such as Tums may help the upset stomach caused by iron therapy
Question 3 point
The benefits to the patient of having an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) prescriber
include:
Nurses know more about Pharmacology than other prescribers because they take it
both in their basic nursing program and in their APRN program.
Nurses care for the patient from a holistic approach and include the patient in
decision making regarding
their care.
, APRNs are less likely to prescribe narcotics and other controlled substances.
APRNs are able to prescribe independently in all states, whereas a physician’s
assistant needs to have a
physician supervising their practice.
Question 4 point
Precautions that should be taken when prescribing controlled substances include:
Faxing the prescription for a Schedule II drug directly to the pharmacy
Using tamper-proof paper for all prescriptions written for controlled drugs
Keeping any pre-signed prescription pads in a locked drawer in the clinic
Using only numbers to indicate the amount of drug to be prescribed
Question 5 point
The reason that two MMR vaccines at least a month apart are recommended is:
The second dose of MMR “boosts” the immunity built from the first dose.
Two vaccines 1 month apart is the standard dosing for all live virus vaccines.
If the two MMR vaccine doses are given too close together there is a greater likelihood
of severe localized reaction to the vaccine.
Only 95% of patients are fully immunized for measles after the first vaccine, with
99% having immunity after two doses of MMR.
Question
point

Instructions for the use of nicotine gum include:
, Chew the gum quickly to get a peak effect.
The gum should be “parked” in the buccal space between chewing.
Acidic drinks such as coffee help with the absorption of the nicotine.
The highest abstinence rates occur if the patient chews the gum when he or she is
having cravings.
Question
point

Question 8 point
Severe contact dermatitis caused by poison ivy or poison oak exposure often requires treatment
with:
Topical antipruritics
Oral corticosteroids for 2 to 3 weeks
Thickly applied topical intermediate-dose corticosteroids
Isolation of the patient to prevent spread of the dermatitis
Question 9 point
The role of the NP in the use of herbal medication is to:
, Maintain competence in the prescribing of common herbal remedies

Question 10 point
Elena Vasquez’s primary language is Spanish, and she speaks very limited English. Which
technique would be appropriate to use in teaching her about a new drug you have just
prescribed?
Use correct medical terminology because Spanish has a Latin base.
Use a family member who speaks more English to act as an interpreter.
Use a professional interpreter or a reliable staff member who can act as an
interpreter.
Use careful, detailed explanations.
