A nurse working in an urgent care clinic is collecting data from a client who takes montelukast.
Which of the following is an expected therapeutic effect of this medication?

Improved peripheral vasodilation.

Increased WBC Count.

Neutralized gastric acid.

Reduced bronchial inflammation.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Choice A rationale:

Montelukast does not improve peripheral vasodilation. It is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used to reduce inflammation in the airways.

Choice B rationale:

Montelukast does not increase the WBC count. It works by reducing inflammation in the airways, not by affecting the immune system.

Choice C rationale:

Montelukast does not neutralize gastric acid. It is not an antacid or proton pump inhibitor, it is used to reduce inflammation in the airways.

Choice D rationale:

Montelukast reduces bronchial inflammation. It helps to prevent asthma attacks and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction by reducing inflammation in the airways.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Rifampin does not typically cause insomnia.

Choice B rationale:

Rifampin can cause a red or orange discoloration of body fluids, including urine, not blue or green.

Choice C rationale:

It is recommended to take rifampin on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

Choice D rationale:

Unusual hair growth is not a known side effect of rifampin.

A. Urine output 600 mL in 8 hr. B. Blood pressure 88/50 mm Hg. C. Heart rate 110/min. D. Blood glucose 70 mg/dL.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

A urine output of 600 mL in 8 hours is within the normal range. The average urine output for adults is about 1 to 2 liters per day.

Choice B rationale:

Clonidine is an antihypertensive medication. If the client’s blood pressure is already low (88/50 mm Hg), administering clonidine could further lower the blood pressure and cause hypotension.

Choice C rationale:

A heart rate of 110/min is slightly high, but it’s not a direct indication to withhold clonidine. Clonidine can actually help lower an elevated heart rate by reducing the levels of certain chemicals in your blood.

Choice D rationale:

A blood glucose level of 70 mg/dL is at the lower end of the normal range (70-100 mg/dL) However, clonidine does not directly affect blood glucose levels, so this would not be a reason to withhold the medication.
