HESI PHARMACOLOGY EXAM TEST BANK 2024

ALREADY GRADED A+


Question 1

prescription for levothyroxine. Which of the following instructions
should the nurse include?

A. Take the medication with food.

B. Take the medication at bedtime.

C. Take the medication on an empty stomach.

D. Take the medication with a calcium supplement.

Answer: C. Take the medication on an empty stomach.

Rationale: Levothyroxine should be taken on an empty stomach to
ensure proper absorption. Taking it with food, especially calcium or iron
supplements, can interfere with its effectiveness.

disturbances. Which of the following actions should the nurse take
first?

A. Check the client's potassium level.

,B. Administer an antiemetic.

C. Check the client's apical pulse.

D. Administer digoxin immune Fab.

Answer: C. Check the client's apical pulse.

Rationale: Nausea and visual disturbances are signs of digoxin toxicity.
The nurse should first check the apical pulse to assess for bradycardia, a
common sign of digoxin toxicity.


Question 3

A nurse is preparing to administer an IM injection of a medication
to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to
reduce the risk of injury to the client?

A. Use a 25-gauge needle.

B. Administer the medication into the deltoid muscle.

C. Use a Z-track technique.

D. Massage the injection site after administration.

Answer: C. Use a Z-track technique.

Rationale: The Z-track technique helps prevent medication from
leaking back into the subcutaneous tissue, reducing pain and irritation at
the injection site.

,Question 4

A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for
nitroglycerin transdermal patches. Which of the following
instructions should the nurse include?

A. Apply the patch to the same site each day.

B. Apply the patch in the morning and remove it after 12 hours.

C. Use the patch as needed for chest pain.

D. Apply the patch to the chest only.

Answer: B. Apply the patch in the morning and remove it after 12
hours.

heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a potentially serious side
effect of heparin therapy.
