  1. N-acetylcysteine (Mucomyst)
  2. Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
  3. Dornase alfa (Pulmozyme)
  4. Furosemide (Lasix)
  5. Ibuprofen (Motrin)
  6. Digitalis (Digoxin)

Question 4

  1. Voice-whisper test
  2. Allen's test
  3. Weber test
  4. Cochlear test
  5. Rinne test
  6. Stapes test

Question 5

A client is experiencing a sudden onset of headache, nausea, cough, fever, myalgia, and fatigue. The nurse suspects this client is experiencing:
 
  1. seasonal influenza.
  2. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
  3. asthma.
  4. cystic fibrosis.

Question 6

During the assessment of a client's external ear canal, the nurse identifies a painful pustule. The nurse realizes this assessment finding could be caused by:
 
  1. furunculosis.
  2. exostoses.
  3. hemotympanum.
  4. acute otitis media.

The answer to question 1  4, 5, 6
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized by a history of three primary symptoms: 1) cough, 2) sputum production, and 3) dyspnea on exertion. Peripheral edema, jugular vein distention, and high blood pressure are not symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The answer to question 2  1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Apertures of the ophthalmoscope include small round light, large round light, grid, slit light, and green light. A black light is not an aperture of the ophthalmoscope.

The answer to question 3  1, 3, 5
Medications commonly used to treat cystic fibrosis include N-acetylcysteine (Mucomyst), Dornase alfa (Pulmozyme), and Ibuprofen (Motrin). Acetaminophen, furosemide, and digitalis are not routinely prescribed in the treatment of cystic fibrosis.

The answer to question 4  1, 3, 5
Tests that can be conducted by the nurse to assess for hearing include the voice-whisper test, the Weber test, and the Rinne test. The Allen's test is used to assess blood flow to the hand. The cochlear test and stapes test do not exist.

The answer to question 5  1
Seasonal influenza has a sudden onset with a headache, nausea, cough, chills, fever, rhinitis, myalgia, and extreme fatigue. These symptoms are not seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, or cystic fibrosis.

The answer to question 6  1
Infection of the hair follicle in the ear, or furunculosis, is caused by a painful boil-like pustule in the external ear canal. Exostoses are hard, bony lesions deep in the external ear canal. Hemotympanum is blood in the middle ear. Acute otitis media causes inflammation of the middle ear that is diagnosed by assessing the tympanic membrane.

Oh god, I was lost before coming here. Thanksss

Great, make sure you mark the topic solved, it hides it from other eyes :)
