NURS 6521 Week-3 Quiz, NURS 6521
Advanced Pharmacology, 4 Versions



Question 1 1 out of 1 points
A nurse has administered a medication to a patient with hypertension.
The prescribed drug is supposed to decrease cardiac output. A decrease
in cardiac output would most likely
Response Feedback: Decrease the amount of circulating blood sent
through the kidneys
A drug-induced decrease in cardiac output would cause a decrease in the
amount of circulating blood sent through the kidneys. If a patient has
normal kidney function, a decrease in cardiac output would not result in
an increased serum creatinine level. Further, the decrease in cardiac
output would not cause an increased synergistic effect of the drug, nor
would it decrease drug absorption in the blood.




Question 2 1 out of 1 points

, A nurse is the cardiac care unit is preparing to hang an intravenous dose
of dofetilide (Tikosyn) for a patient who has just been admitted. What is
the most likely goal of this intervention?
Response Feedback: To convert the patient's atrial fibrillation to
normal sinus rhythm
Dofetilide is used to convert patients in atrial fibrillation to normal sinus
rhythm and maintain them in sinus rhythm. This drug is not used in the
treatment of bradycardia, heart failure, or ventricular arrhythmias.




Question 3 1 out of 1 points
A 77-year-old patient has a long-standing history of hypertension, a
health problem that is being treated with metoprolol and a thiazide
diuretic. Before administering the 8 AM dose of these medications, what
assessments should the nurse perform and document? (Select all that
apply.)
Response Feedback: Heart rate, Blood pressure
Because of its effects on blocking beta-1 receptors, metoprolol slows the
heart rate, the speed of conduction, and decreases the force of
contraction, thus cardiac output is decreased, decreasing blood pressure.
Consequently, it is necessary to assess the patient's heart rate in addition
to his or her blood pressure. Neither beta blockers nor thiazide diuretics
create a direct need for the assessment of temperature, respiratory rate,
or oxygen saturation level.
