Anti-Infectives & Immunity
This antibiotic can cause Red Man Syndrome.
Vancomycin
Administering Fentanyl too quickly causes this life-threatening condition.
Rigid chest wall syndrome
Catecholamine release during the stress response has this effect.
Increased heart rate
Released by the kidneys to signal the need for red blood cell production
Erythropoietin
A patient who has been vomiting frequently for the past week is at risk for this.
Metabolic alkalosis
Gentamicin can cause this serious adverse effect which is irreversible 14% of the time.
Ototoxicity
A patient presenting with angioedema, difficulty breathing, urticaria, dyspnea, and hypotension is experiencing this condition.
Anaphylaxis
A patient experiencing chest pain took tadalafil less than 24 hours ago so this medication must be avoided.
Nitroglycerin (NTG)
A patient with a baseline creatinine of 2.73, decreased GFR, and hypocalcemia likely has this diagnosis.
Chronic kidney disease
Air trapping can occur as a result of this pathophysiologic process in a patient with emphysema.
Barrel chest
Sulbactam is this.
Beta-lactamase inhibitor
Kaposi sarcoma and pneumocystis carinii (pneumocystis jirovecii) are associated with which diagnosis?
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
Cardiac dysrhythmia that significantly increases a patient's risk for stroke.
Atrial fibrillation
Decreased calcitriol production leads to this.
Hypocalcemia
These ABG results indicate this condition:
pH 7.25
PCO2 52mmHg
HCO3- 22mEq/L
Respiratory acidosis
A non-specific response to an infection.
Innate immunity
Excess mucous production in the respiratory tract is the hallmark of this condition.
Cystic fibrosis (CF)
A B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) of 4122 is indicative of which condition?
Acute heart failure
The nurse would expect to see what effect on pH and bicarbonate in a patient with chronic kidney disease.
Decreased pH & HCO3-
These ABG results indicate this condition:
pH 7.19
PCO2 40mmHg
HCO3- 15mEq/L
Metabolic acidosis
This binds to mast cells during an allergic reaction, resulting in the release of histamine.
IgE
A patient who presents with dyspnea, tachypnea, and crackles upon auscultation is likely experiencing this condition.
Left-sided heart failure
Propranolol should be used with caution (or not at all) in this group of patients.
Asthma
COPD
The patient is undergoing IV diuresis for heart failure and is now experiencing hearing loss, likely from administering this drug too quickly.
A non-smoker develops COPD which is most likely from this deficiency
Alpha1-antitrypsin
