1. Which one of the following drugs would you instruct a patient to take during a fasting period?
A. Buspirone; B. Probucol; C. Lisinopril; D. Oxcarbazepine
I think B.
2. You're training a new employee. He wants to know how to determine which needle to use with a medication. What should you tell him?
A. Look on the medication label for the suggested needle size.
B. Use the needle size prescribed by the physician for that type of medication.
C.it depends on the site of injection, rout of injection and viscosity of the medication
D. The size of the needle doesn't matter as long as you use the correct syringe
I think C
3. Which one of the following is an example of an OSHA medication standard?
A. Medication should be taken orally.
B. Do not take w.food.
C.needles should not be recapped
D. Use an insulin needle for aqueous solution only.
Number 3 I think is C.
1. To determine which drug should be taken during a fasting period, you can refer to the drug's prescribing information or consult a healthcare professional. The prescribing information, which can usually be found in the drug package insert or by doing an online search, will often provide specific instructions regarding administration with or without food. In this case, you would need to look up the prescribing information for the drugs listed (Buspirone, Probucol, Lisinopril, and Oxcarbazepine) to identify which one should be taken during a fasting period.
2. When determining which needle to use with a medication, several factors need to be considered. These factors include the site of injection, route of injection, and viscosity of the medication. Different medications may require different needle sizes based on these factors. For example, intramuscular injections may require longer needles, while subcutaneous injections may require shorter needles. Additionally, medications with higher viscosities may require larger gauge needles to facilitate proper flow. Therefore, option C, "it depends on the site of injection, route of injection, and viscosity of the medication," is the correct answer. It is important to follow proper needle selection guidelines to ensure safe and effective administration of medications.
3. OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which sets standards to protect workers from potential hazards in the workplace. Regarding medication safety, OSHA has specific standards in place. In this case, option C, "needles should not be recapped," is an example of an OSHA medication standard. OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard mandates that contaminated needles should never be recapped by hand to prevent accidental needlestick injuries and potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Instead, safety devices or one-handed techniques should be used to safely dispose of needles. OSHA standards aim to ensure the safety and well-being of healthcare workers.
