A 6-year-old was complaining of elbow pain.
The nurse will advise the patient to give which pain medication?

Aleve.

Motrin.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Aspirin (Ecotin).

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale

Aleve (naproxen) is not recommended for children under 12 years old due to the risk of side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney issues.

Choice B rationale

Motrin (ibuprofen) is commonly used for pain and inflammation in children but is not the best option for mild pain like that caused by an elbow injury.

Choice C rationale

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is recommended for children experiencing mild to moderate pain, such as elbow pain, due to its safety profile and effectiveness.

Choice D rationale

Aspirin is not recommended for children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious condition that can cause swelling in the liver and brain.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Beta-adrenergic blockers generally do not decrease urinary output. These drugs primarily act on the cardiovascular system by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, which results in lowered heart rate and blood pressure. Their effects are less pronounced on the renal system unless specific agents with renal effects are used.

Choice B rationale

Beta-adrenergic blockers decrease the strength of heart muscle contraction (negative inotropic effect). By blocking beta receptors, they inhibit the stimulatory effects of catecholamines on the heart, reducing the force of myocardial contraction, which helps decrease oxygen demand and control angina symptoms.

Choice C rationale

Beta-adrenergic blockers typically decrease heart rate (negative chronotropic effect) rather than increase it. They inhibit beta-adrenergic receptors, which leads to a slower heart rate and can help manage conditions like angina by reducing myocardial oxygen consumption.

Choice D rationale

Beta-adrenergic blockers decrease oxygen consumption by reducing heart rate and the force of contraction. These effects lower myocardial oxygen demand, which is beneficial for patients with angina by preventing episodes triggered by increased oxygen needs.

A. Vitamin K Level. B. PTT and aPTT. C. International normalized ratio (INR). D. Platelet level.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Checking vitamin K levels doesn't directly monitor warfarin's effect.

Choice B rationale

PTT and aPTT assess heparin, not warfarin.

Choice C rationale

INR specifically measures warfarin's effectiveness and safety.

Choice D rationale

Platelet levels don't monitor the anticoagulant effect of warfarin.
