Mark whether the assessment finding represents a therapeutic result of the Bisacodyl administered, a non therapeutic side-effect, or an unrelated finding.

Pain rating 2/10

Non-blanchable red area

Blood pressure 135/81 mmHg

Sinus tachycardia

Itching in legs

Semifluid stool

Burning sensation .

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : F

Choice A rationale

A pain rating of 2/10 is not directly related to the therapeutic effect of Bisacodyl. Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative used to treat constipation, and its effectiveness would not typically be measured by pain ratings20.

Choice B rationale

A non-blanchable red area could be a sign of a pressure ulcer or other skin condition. It is not a therapeutic result of Bisacodyl administration20.

Choice C rationale

Blood pressure of 135/81 mmHg is a normal reading and is not directly related to the therapeutic effect of Bisacodyl20.

Choice D rationale

Sinus tachycardia, or a faster-than-normal heart rate, is not a therapeutic result of Bisacodyl administration. If a patient experiences sinus tachycardia while taking Bisacodyl, they should seek medical attention20.

Choice E rationale

Itching in legs is not a therapeutic result of Bisacodyl administration. It could be a sign of an allergic reaction or other medical condition20.

Choice F rationale

Semifluid stool is the correct answer. Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative that works by increasing activity in the intestines to cause a bowel movement. Therefore, the production of semifluid stool can be considered a therapeutic result of Bisacodyl administration20.

Choice G rationale

A burning sensation is not a therapeutic result of Bisacodyl administration. If a patient experiences a burning sensation while taking Bisacodyl, they should seek medical attention20.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Famotidine is a type of medication known as an H2 blocker, which decreases the amount of
acid produced in the stomach. While it can indirectly lead to better sleep by reducing
discomfort, decreased nighttime awakenings is not a direct indicator of its effectiveness.
Choice B rationale
A positive stool antigen test is used to detect the presence of certain bacteria in the
gastrointestinal tract. It is not directly related to the action of famotidine.
Choice C rationale
Weight loss is not a typical result of famotidine use. If a patient experiences significant weight
loss, other causes should be investigated.
Choice D rationale
Famotidine is used to treat conditions like ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and
conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Reduced epigastric pain indicates that the medication is effectively reducing stomach acid and
therefore, alleviating symptoms.

A. Aspirin B. Famotidine C. Loperamide D. Ipratropium

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and reduce
inflammation. It is not typically part of the H. pylori treatment regimen.
Choice B rationale
Famotidine is a type of medication called a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). PPIs are often used in
the treatment of H. pylori because they reduce the production of stomach acid, which makes
the environment more conducive for antibiotics to work.
Choice C rationale
Loperamide is a medication used to treat diarrhea. It is not typically part of the H. pylori
treatment regimen.
Choice D rationale
Ipratropium is a medication used to treat bronchospasm associated with COPD and is not
related to H. pylori treatment.
