TEST 4 - NURS 368 Questions With Verified
Answers.
A client calls the clinic to talk to the nurse. The client states being prescribed penicillin for a
strep throat last week. Though the client feels better, the client stopped taking the drug "today,"
even though there are "a few pills left." What would be the nurse's best response?
"Okay, thank you for letting me know."
"It is of critical importance that you take all the medication so all the germs are killed. Otherwise
they could come right back and be even stronger."
"You will need to come to the clinic and be evaluated by your physician to make sure the
infection is really gone."
"What you have described are just halo effects of the drug you were taking. They will go away
when the drug is totally out of your system." - answer✔"It is of critical importance that you take
all the medication so all the germs are killed. Otherwise they could come right back and be even
stronger."
Rationale: he duration of drug use is critical to ensure that the microbes are completely, not
partially, eliminated and are not given the chance to grow and develop resistant strains
Which would be the most significant factor in the selection of an antibiotic drug for treatment of
a client's infection?
culture and susceptibility test results
client's weight
client's blood type
client's insurance coverage - answer✔culture and susceptibility test results
Rationale: Antibiotic selection can be based on a variety of factors, including culture and
susceptibility tests and empiric therapy. Other factors that may play a role in selection are the
client's health status, age, gender (since some drugs are inappropriate during pregnancy or
nursing), and environment of care.
Your client was given tetracycline as a young child. You can tell this by changes in:
Her eyesight.
Her facial structure.
The color of her teeth.
Her shoe size. - answer✔The color of her teeth
Rationale: Tetracyclines are contraindicated in pregnant women and in children to 8 years of age.
In the fetus and young child, tetracyclines are deposited in bones and teeth along with calcium. If
given during active mineralization of these tissues, tetracyclines can interfere with tooth enamel
formation, cause permanent discoloration (mottling) of tooth enamel, and depress bone growth
Most cells have the ability to reproduce themselves through:
diffusion.
homeostasis.
osmosis.
mitosis. - answer✔mitosis
Rationale: Most cells have the ability to reproduce themselves through the process of mitosis.
Diffusion is the movement of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of
lower concentration. Homeostasis is the ability to keep the cytoplasm stable within the cell
membrane. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area
that is low in dissolved solutes to one that is high in dissolved solutes.
