ATI Pharmacology Final Remediation 1. Substance use disorders: Treatment for cocaine toxicity a. I think that I put naloxone i. Naloxone is not used to treat cocaine toxicity, it is used... to reverse the effects of opioids, not stimulants like cocaine. Benzodiazepines may be used to treat cocaine toxicity 2. Miscellaneous Central Nervous System Medications: Treating malignant hyperthermia a. I didn’t choose the correct medication to treat malignant hyperthermia i. I would administer dantrolene when a patient is experiencing malignant hyperthermia 3. Miscellaneous Pain Medications: Adverse effects of ergotamine a. I did not choose the adverse reaction; I chose a side effect i. An adverse reaction to this medication would be muscle pain 4. Medications Affecting Coagulation: Laboratory results to report a. I believe this is the question that asked which lab value to report for a pt. on heparin therapy and I chose a Hct of 45% . Monitoring the Hct is a correct answer, but not the most correct answer i. The correct answer would have been the lab value regarding PTT 5. Antibiotics Affecting Protein Synthesis: Dietary supplement interactions with Tetracycline a. This was the question that asked what the patient taking tetracycline should take with the medication (I think); I said that you could take it with milk because I was thinking about an upset stomach with the medication i. Tetracycline cannot be taken with milk because the calcium in the milk will bind to the antibiotic and prevents absorption 6. Growth Factors: Evaluating a client response a. This may have been a question regarding what was an expected outcome of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) or who from the list would be expected to be taking an ESA i. An expected outcome would be for hemoglobin levels to rise from therapy ii. It would also be used for patients who have anemia and are taking zidovudine 7. Medications Affecting Labor and Delivery: Priority action for a client receiving oxytocin a. I believe this was the question stating that the patient was on oxytocin and the contractions were kinda long and the fetus was having unmeasurable HR issues. I stated the client need to reposition first (to be sure it wasn’t a positional issue before you administer any drugs) that was wrong i. Contraction should not last 60 seconds or longer [Show More]
