Question 1 of 5

When educating a patient about sildenafil (Viagra), which adverse effect should be a priority for the patient to report to his prescriber?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hearing loss.' In rare cases, Viagra has been associated with sudden hearing loss, typically in one ear, which can be partial or complete. Any onset of hearing problems while using Viagra should be reported promptly to the prescriber. It is recommended to discontinue the medication if it is used for erectile dysfunction. 'Flushing,' 'Diarrhea,' and 'Dyspepsia' are known adverse effects of Viagra but are generally less serious compared to hearing loss.

Question 2 of 5

Which medication is most likely to cause serious respiratory depression as a potential adverse reaction?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Morphine, as a strong opioid agonist, has the highest likelihood of causing serious respiratory depression due to its potent effects on the central nervous system. While Pentazocine and Hydrocodone can also cause respiratory depression, they are less likely to do so compared to morphine. Nalmefene, an opioid antagonist, is used to reverse respiratory depression caused by opioids rather than causing it.

Question 4 of 5

Why is it important to share information with the family about why you are asking certain things as you evaluate the child?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Sharing information with the family about the reasons for your questions is crucial as it helps them comprehend the purpose and role of occupational therapy in the evaluation process. This transparency fosters trust, collaboration, and empowers families to actively engage in the therapy journey.

Question 5 of 5

For which patient diagnosis would a prescription for nifedipine be least appropriate?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Nifedipine primarily acts as a calcium channel blocker. It lacks significant effects on the calcium channels of the heart, making it ineffective for treating dysrhythmias like Atrial Fibrillation. Nifedipine is commonly used in conditions such as angina pectoris, essential hypertension, and vasospastic angina due to its vasodilatory effects and anti-anginal properties.
