Chapter 01: The Nursing Process and Drug Therapy

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. The nurse is writing a nursing diagnosis for a plan of care for a patient who has been newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which statement reflects the correct format for a nursing diagnosis?
A. Anxiety
B. Anxiety related to new drug therapy
C. Anxiety related to feelings about drug therapy as evidenced by statements such as “I’m upset about having to give myself shots”
D. Anxiety related to new drug therapy as evidenced by statements such as “I’m upset about having to give myself shots”

ANS: D
Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-step process. “Anxiety” is missing the “related to” and “as evidenced by” portions. “Anxiety related to new drug therapy” is missing the “as evidenced by” portion of defining characteristics. The statement beginning “Anxiety related to anxious feelings” is not correct because the “related to” section is simply a restatement of the problem “anxiety,” not a separate factor related to the response.

2. A patient is to receive oral digoxin (Lanoxin) daily; however, because he is unable to swallow, he cannot take it orally, as ordered. What type of problem does this represent?
A. “Right time” problem
B. “Right dose” problem
C. “Right route” problem
D. “Right medication” problem

ANS: C
Because the patient cannot swallow, the prescriber must adjust the ordered route. “Time” is not correct because the ordered frequency has not changed. “Dose” is not correct because the dose is not related to inability to swallow. “Medication” is not correct because the medication ordered will not change, just the route.

3. The nurse has been monitoring a patient’s progress on a new drug regimen since the first dose and documenting signs of possible adverse effects. This example illustrates which phase of the nursing process?
A. Planning
B. Evaluation
C. Implementation
D. Nursing diagnosis

ANS: B
Monitoring the patient’s progress is part of the evaluation phase. Planning, Implementation, and Nursing Diagnosis are not illustrated by this example.

4. The nurse is assigned to a patient who is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which statement best illustrates an outcome criterion for this patient?
A. The patient will follow instructions.
B. The patient will not experience complications.
C. The patient will adhere to the new insulin treatment regimen.
D. The patient will demonstrate safe insulin self-administration technique.

ANS: D
“Demonstrating safe insulin self-administration technique” is a specific and measurable outcome criterion. “Following instructions” and “not experiencing complications” are not specific criteria. “Adhering to new regimen” would be difficult to measure.

5. Which activity best reflects the implementation phase of the nursing process for a patient who is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus?
A. Providing education regarding self-injection technique
B. Setting goals and outcome criteria with the patient’s input
C. Recording a drug history regarding over-the-counter medications used at home
D. Formulating nursing diagnoses regarding knowledge deficit related to new treatment regimen

ANS: A
Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase. Setting goals and outcomes reflects the Planning phase. Recording a drug history reflects the Assessment phase. Formulating nursing diagnoses reflects analysis of data as part of Planning.

6. The medication order reads, “Give ondansetron 24 mg, 30 minutes before beginning chemotherapy to prevent nausea.” The nurse notes that the route is missing from the order. What is the nurse’s best action?
A. Giving the medication intravenously because it is for nausea prevention
B. Giving the medication orally because the tablets are available in 24 mg doses
C. Contacting the prescriber to clarify the route of the medication ordered
D. Holding the medication until the prescriber returns to clarify the order

ANS: C
A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a medication order does not include the route, the nurse must ask the prescriber to clarify it. The other options are not correct actions.

7. When the nurse considers the timing of a drug dose, which of the factors listed below is appropriate to consider when deciding when to give a drug?
A. The patient’s ability to swallow
B. The patient’s weight
C. The patient’s last meal
D. The patient’s allergies

ANS: C
The nurse must consider specific pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic drug properties that may be affected by the timing of the last meal. The patient’s ability to swallow, weight, and allergies are not factors to consider regarding the timing of the drug’s administration.

1. When giving medications, the nurse will follow the rights of medication administration, which include what rights? Select all that apply.
A. Right drug
B. Right route
C. Right dose
D. Right time
E. Right patient

3, 2, 5, 4, 1
