,phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek) : Classification: antiarrhythmics,
anticonvulsants. Pharmacologic: Hydantoins. Pregnancy category: D.
Indications: treatment/prevention of tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures
and complex partial seizures via enhancing inhibitory effects of GABA
and decreases neuron firing. Also used as an antiarrhythmic,
particularly for ventricular arrhythmias associated with digoxin toxicity
& prolonged QT interval. Adverse effects: CNS effects (nystagmus,
sedation, ataxia, double vision, cognitive impairment) notify providers
if these occur, Gingival hyperplasia (softening and overgrowth of gum
tissue, tenderness, and bleeding gums; maintain good oral hygiene),
Skin rash (stop med if this occurs), Cardiovascular effects
(dysrhythmias, hypotension), Endocrine and other effects (coarsening
of focal features, hirsutism, and interference with vitamin D
metabolism), and Interfering with vitamin K-dependent clotting factors
causing bleeding in newborns.

4. A nurse is teaching a client who has a history of acute myocardial
infarction about taking metoprolol to treat angina. Which of the
following instructions should the nurse include?
Stop taking the medication if you become dizzy - NEVER
a.
EVER discontinue abruptly without consulting your provider
b. Check your pulse rate daily - can cause bradycardia. So, you
withhold the meds if HR is under 50. Also, can cause orthostatic
hypo, and MASK hypoglycemic effects of insulin.
c. Expect to see an increase in your urinary output
d. Call your provider if you lose more than 1 pound per week
Rationale: Pharmacology 7.0 Chapter 20 page 158:
Metoprolol (Betaloc, Lopressor): Classification: antianginals,
antihypertensives. Pharmacological: Beta adrenergic blockers
(sympatholytics), cardioselective. Indication: blocks stimulation of
beta1 (myocardial)-adrenergic receptors. Decreases BP, HR, and
frequency of attacks of angina pectoris. Adverse effects: bradycardia
(monitor pulse, if below 50 BPM, hold med), decreased cardiac output,
AV block, orthostatic hypotension, and rebound myocardium
excitation.
5. A nurse is caring for a client who develops an anaphylactic reaction
to IV antibiotic administration. After assessing the client’s
respiratory status and stopping the medication infusion, which of the
, following actions should the nurse take next?
A. Elevate the client’s legs and feet
B. Administer epinephrine IM
C. Replace the solution with 0.9 % sodium chloride
D. Give diphenhydramine IM
Rationale Pharmacology 7.0 Chapter 5 page 36:
Anaphylactic reaction: a life threatening, immediate allergic reaction

uterine contractions. (contractions lasting longer than 60 secs, and
occurring more frequently than every 2 to 3 min, stop the infusion, and
notify the provider.
Practice question from RN Pharmacology Practice Questions A: the
priority question is for the nurse to place the client in lateral position.
7. A nurse is administering Lactated Ringer solution at 100ml/hr. The

set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many drops per minute?
Round the answer to the nearest whole number? mL/ min x drop
factor (gtt/min)
1 hr. = 60 min
100 mL/60 min x 15 gtt/mL = 25 gtt/min
