The nurse is teaching the patient about amoxicillin prior to discharge and includes what important

teaching point?




- even if it seems like the infection is not improving, the drug is still working


- yeast infections are unlikely to occur with this medication because it is a narrow spectrum


- infections of the tongue may occur but will subside when the drug is discontinued


- appearance of a rash is common and does not indicate an allergic reaction - Answer✔✔-- infections of

the tongue may occur but will subside when the drug is discontinued


*** lingua villosa nigra = remember furry tongue, or hairy tongue that can cause the tongue to look

black in appearance, can happen with antibiotics. The best intervention/ pt. education the RN can do =

maintain and promote good oral hygiene. Best preventative measure as well as treatment option.


The nurse is providing discharge teaching for a patient prescribed prednisone to be taken on alternate

days. The patient asks why he cannot take half a pill every day. What is the nurse's best response?

to prolong therapeutic efforts


to prevent steroidal tolerance


to decrease adrenal suppression - Answer✔✔-- to decrease adrenal suppression


*** remember this can help DECREASE adverse side effects not eliminate them. Many of the side effects

are the result of adrenal gland suppression/ reduction in cortisol production. So decreasing the

suppression of the adrenal glands makes the most sense!


AG a citadel student living on campus presented to the emergency department. He developed a fever

(Tmax 103/F/ 39.4C) 1 day prior. He presented with mild rhinorrhea, headache, decreased appetite, and

was lethargic with an O2 sat of 97%. This morning his room mate had difficulty arousing him. Which of

the following assessment/ intervention would a nurse perform FIRST?




- perform a focused neuro assessment


- obtain a set of vital signs


- obtain a peripheral blood glucose level


- auscultation of the respiratory system - Answer✔✔-- obtain a set of vital signs




*** you would want to get vitals first, perform a neuro assessment, obtain SMBG, auscultate respiratory

last

AG student living on campus presented to the emergency department. He developed a fever (Tmax

103F/ 39.4C) 1 day prior. He presented with mild rhinorrhea, headache, decreased appetite, and is

lethargic. This morning his room mate had difficulty arousing him. Reviewing the lab values, which of the

following would the nurse suggest to the provider?


- request an order for frequent (q2hr) neurosensory assessment, an order for blood cultures (WBC

elevated so we need to see what infection he is fighting off), request and opioid for pain. - Answer✔✔-

*** remember elevated C-reactive protein levels in the blood increase inflammation. This can lead to an

increased risk in ischemia possible resulting in an ischemic CVA. (too much inflammation = too much

pressure on vessels = could cause stroke). So if patient has high CRP then neuro checks need to be

frequent to assess for S and S of too much inflammation in the brain. CRP should be 0.1 or lower his was

12. something!!!


In assessing the neurological status on an older patient, the nurse needs to consider which-age related

change of the neurological system?




- reaction time is slower


- flexibility is maintained


- pain sensation is heightened


- higher basal body temperature - Answer✔✔-- reaction time is slower

***with age, our temperature regulators aren't as effective as they used to be (hypothalamus) resulting

in an overall decrease in basil body temp. Why elderly patients often describe feeling cold, keep their

rooms at warmer temps, require extra blankets, and dress for cold weather even when it's relatively

warm outside. Pain sensation is actually dullened. Flexibility slightly decreases (typically/ norm) and

slower reaction time. The brains shrinks, loses a little weight, and thus decreases the firing speed of

neurons and interferes with neuronal transfer at the synaptic cleft = delayed neuronal transmissions

which presents as slowed or delayed reaction time. Both gross and motor.


A nurse receives report on a patient who recently experienced a 15-minute generalized (Tonic Clonic)}

seizure in the emergency department. On arrival to the unit, the patient is prone, breathing noisily, and

hard to arouse. The nurse would initiate which of the following? (select all that apply)




- place an oral airway


- administer intravenous antibiotics


- place patient in side lying position


- perform a neurovascular assessment


- obtain oxygen saturation level


- call rapid response team - Answer✔✔-- place patient in side lying position


- obtain oxygen saturation level


- call a rapid response team
