1. Question :

Ray has been diagnosed with hypertension and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor is

determined to be needed. Prior to prescribing this drug, the NP should assess for:

Hypokalemia

Decreased renal function

Inability to concentrate

Question 2. Question :

Which of the following create a higher risk for digoxin toxicity? Both the cause and the reason

for it must be correct.

Older adults because of reduced renal function

Administration of aldosterone antagonist diuretics because of decreased potassium levels

Question 3. Question :

Juanita had a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and was on heparin in the hospital and was

discharged on warfarin. She asks her primary care provider NP why she was getting both

medications while in the hospital. The best response is to:

Contact the hospitalist as this is not the normal guideline for prescribing these two medications

and she may have had a more complicated case.

, Explain that warfarin is often started while a patient is still on heparin because warfarin takes a

few days to reach effectiveness.

Encourage the patient to contact the Customer Service department at the hospital as this was

most likely a medication error during her admission.

Draw anticoagulation studies to make sure she does not have dangerously high bleeding times.

Question 4. Question :

Robert, age 51 years, has been told by his primary care provider (PCP) to take an aspirin a

day. Why would this be recommended?

He has arthritis and this will help with the inflammation and pain.

Aspirin has anti-platelet activity and prevents clots that cause heart attacks.

Aspirin acidifies the urine and he needs this for prostrate health.

He has a history of GI bleed, and one aspirin a day is a safe dosage.
