,Question:
Following procedural guidelines when giving a parenteral medication is a
primary solution for which hypothesis?
a. Risk for allergic reaction
b. Risk for Adverse Medication Interaction
c. Risk for Injury

Question:
The nurse is preparing to administer medication to a motor vehicle crash
victim for pain. Relevant cues from patient assessment data are analyzed and
clustered to identify hypotheses. Which hypothesis is the priority?
a. Risk for allergic reaction
b. Risk for impaired tissue integrity
c. Lack of Knowledge of Medication Regime
d. Impaired Ability to Manage Medication Regime
Answer:
Correct:
Risk for allergic reaction
,Risk for allergic reaction is an immediate life-threatening problem; it has the
highest priority.
Rationale for Incorrect:
Impaired tissue integrity is a problem that develops over time and is not life-
threatening.
Lack of Knowledge of Medication Regime is not a life-threatening problem.
Impaired Ability to Manage Medication Regime is not an immediate life-
threatening problem.
Question:
Which descriptors would the nurse use in summarizing changes in a patient's
condition after a medication interaction?
a. Critical, stable, good
b. Satisfactory, unsatisfactory
c. Life-threatening, urgent, immediate concern
d. Improving, declining, unchanged
Answer:
Improving, declining, unchanged
Improving, declining, or unchanged are discrete, objective descriptors that
convey not simply a current state but the direction in which a patient's
condition is moving.
Rationale for Incorrect:
, Critical, stable, and good are not discrete options. A stable condition may also
be a good condition.
Satisfactory and unsatisfactory are open to broad individual interpretation
and do not address expected outcomes in a meaningful fashion.
Life-threatening, urgent, and immediate concern are concepts used when
prioritizing hypotheses, not as descriptors of a patient's condition.
Question:
Which types of medication cannot be administered to patients who have
difficulty swallowing and require medications to be crushed?
Select all that apply.
a. Capsules
b. Scored tablets
c. Sublingual tablets
d. Time-release tablets
e. Enteric-coated tablets
Answer:
Time-release tablets
Time-release tablets should never be crushed because crushing allows
absorption of the medication to occur all at once rather than slowly over time.
Enteric-coated tablets
Enteric-coated tablets should never be crushed. The enteric coating prohibits
the medication from dissolving in the stomach and irritating the gastric
mucosa or protects the medication from being digested by gastric enzymes.
