MULTIPLE CHOICE

A. Reassure the patient that these are common side effects with the medication.
B. Call the pharmacy to report an adverse drug reaction.
C. Check the patient’s blood glucose level.
D. Determine if the patient has a history of anemia.
ANS: C
See Assessment for acarbose: Observe the patient for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Acarbose alone does not cause hypoglycemia; however, other concurrently administered
hypoglycemic agents may produce hypoglycemia, requiring treatment. Ignoring these
symptoms would be dangerous, but it is not considered an adverse drug reaction requiring an
official report. The patient is experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia not anemia.
2. While responding to a rapid response called on the cardiac step-down unit, the nurse from
intensive care observes the unit nurse massaging a patient’s neck and instructing the patient to
bear down. Which of the following medications will most likely be used if the patient’s pulse does
not return to normal?
A. Adenosine (Adenocard)
B. Epinephrine (Adrenaline)
C. Atenolol (Tenormin)
D. Asenapine (Saphris)
ANS: A
See Indications for adenosine: Adenosine is used for the conversion of paroxysmal
supraventricular tachycardia (PVST) to normal sinus rhythm when vagal maneuvers are
unsuccessful. Epinephrine is a bronchodilator used in the management of reversible airway
disease. Atenolol is a beta blocker used in the management of hypertension. Asenapine is an
antipsychotic mood stabilizer used in the acute treatment of schizophrenia or manic/mixed
episodes associated with bipolar I disorder.
, 3. The nurse is instructing the parent of a 6-year-old patient recently started on an albuterol
(ProAir HFA) inhaler for exercise-induced asthma. The nurse recognizes that further teaching is
necessary by which of the following client statements?
A. “He may feel like his heart is racing after he takes his inhaler.”
B. “He can use the inhaler as many times during football practice as he needs it.”
C. “He should avoid cola and other caffeinated drinks since they may increase his heart rate.”
D. “He should take 2 puffs about 15 min before gym class.”
ANS: B
See Contraindications/Precautions, Interactions, and Dosage for albuterol. Excess inhaler use
may lead to tolerance and paradoxical bronchospasm. Use with caffeine-containing herbs (cola

C. “I’m not sure why we should even bother anymore; everything seems so pointless.”
D. “I drink a cup of coffee most days with breakfast.”
ANS: C
See Contraindications/Precautions for amitriptyline: the use of this medication may increase the
risk of suicide attempt/ideation especially during early treatment or dose adjustment; risk may
be greater in children or adolescents. Sedation is an expected side effect. Dry mouth is an
expected side effect. There is no directive to avoid caffeine with this medication.
