Document Content and Description Below

MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. A patient is receiving two different drugs, which, at their current dose forms and dosages, are both absorbed into the circulation in identical amounts. Which term best denotes th... at the drugs have the same absorption rates? a. Equivalent b. Synergistic c. Compatible d. Bioequivalent ANS: D Two drugs absorbed into the circulation at the same amount (in specific dosage forms) have the same bioavailability; thus, they are bioequivalent. “Equivalent” is incorrect because the term “bioavailability” is used to express the extent of drug absorption. “Synergistic” is incorrect because this term refers to two drugs given together whose resulting effect is greater than the sum of the effects of each drug given alone. “Compatible” is incorrect because this term is a general term used to indicate that two substances do not have a chemical reaction when mixed (or given, in the case of drugs) together. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p. 26 2. A patient is receiving medication via intravenous injection. Which information should the nurse provide for patient education? a. The medication will causeUfewSer aNdverTse effecOts when given intravenously. b. The medication will be absorbed slowly into the tissues over time. c. The medication’s action will begin faster when given intravenously. d. Most of the drug is inactivated by the liver before it reaches the target area. ANS: C Intravenous injections are the fastest route of absorption. The intravenous route does not affect the number of adverse effects, the intravenous route is not a slow route of absorption, and the intravenous route does not cause inactivation of the drug by the liver before it reaches the target area.
