Cardiovascular Pharmacology
1. The nurse is planning to administer hydrochlorothiazide to a client.
The nurse should monitor for which adverse effects related to the administration
of this medication?
1. Hypouricemia, hyperkalemia
2. Increased risk of osteoporosis
3. Hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, sulfa allergy
4. Hyperkalemia, hypoglycemia,
penicillin allergy Correct answer: 3
Rationale: Thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide are sulfa-based
medications, and a client with a sulfa allergy is at risk for an allergic reaction. Also,
clients are at risk for hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, hypercalcemia, hyperlipidemia,
and hyperuricemia.
10. The home health care nurse is visiting a client with elevated triglyceride levels and a
serum
cholesterol level of 398 mg/dL (10 mmol/L). The client is taking cholestyramine and the nurse
the client about the medication. Which statement, by the client, indicates the need for further
teaches
teaching?
1. "Constipation and bloating might be a problem."
2. "I'll continue to watch my diet and reduce my fats."

3. "Walking a mile each day will help the whole process."
4. "I'll continue my nicotinic acid from the health food store."
Correct answer: 4
Rationale: Nicotinic acid, even an over-the-counter form, should be avoided
because it may lead to liver abnormalities. All lipid-lowering medications also can
cause liver abnormalities, so a combination of nicotinic acid and cholestyramine
resin needs to be avoided. Constipation and bloating are the 2 most common
adverse effects. Walking and the reduction of fats in the diet are therapeutic
measures to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
2. A client with atrial fibrillation is receiving a continuous heparin infusion at
1000 units/hour. The nurse determines that the client is receiving the
therapeutic effect based on which results?
1. Prothrombin time of 12.5 seconds
2. Activated partial thromboplastin time of 60 seconds
3. Activated partial thromboplastin time of 28 seconds
4. Activated partial thromboplastin time longer
than 120 seconds Correct answer: 2

Rationale: Common laboratory ranges for activated partial thromboplastin time
(aPTT) are 30 to 40 seconds. Because the aPTT should be 1.5 to 2.5 times the
normal value, the client's aPTT would be considered therapeutic if it was 60
seconds. Prothrombin time assesses response to warfarin therapy.
3. The nurse is monitoring a client who is taking propranolol. Which
assessment finding indicates a potential adverse complication associated with
this medication?
1. The development of complaints of insomnia
2. The development of audible expiratory wheezes
3. A baseline blood pressure of 150/80 mm Hg followed by a blood pressure
of 138/72 mm Hg after 2 doses of the medication
4. A baseline resting heart rate of 88 beats/minute followed by a
resting heart rate of 72 beats/minute after 2 doses of the medication
Correct answer: 2
Rationale: Audible expiratory wheezes may indicate a serious adverse reaction,
bronchospasm. Beta blockers may induce this reaction, particularly in clients
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma. Normal decreases in
blood pressure and heart rate are expected. Insomnia is a frequent mild side

effect and should be monitored
4. A client who is receiving digoxin daily has a serum potassium level of 3 mEq/L (3 mmol/L) and is
complaining of anorexia. The health care provider prescribes a serum digoxin level to be done. The nurse
checks the results and should expect to note which level that is outside of the therapeutic range?
Rationale: The optimal therapeutic range for digoxin is 0.5 to 0.8 ng/mL. If the
client is experiencing symptoms such as anorexia and is experiencing
hypokalemia as evidenced by a low potassium level, digoxin toxicity is a concern.
