A 16-year-old student has a long history of bronchial asthma and has experienced several severe asthmatic attacks during the school year. The school nurse is required to administer 0.2 mL of 1/1000 solution of epinephrine SC during an asthma attack. How does the school nurse evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention?

  1. Increased pulse rate
  2. Increased expectorate of secretions
  3. Decreased inspiratory difficulty
  4. Increased respiratory rate

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

(A) A side effect of epinephrine is fatal ventricular fibrillation owing to its effects on cardiac stimulation. (B) Medications used to treat asthma are designed to decrease bronchospasm, not to increase expectorate of secretions. (C) Epinephrine decreased inspiratory difficulty by stimulating -, 1, and 2-receptors causing sympathomimetic stimulation (e.g., bronchodilation). (D) The person with asthma fights to inspire sufficient air thus increasing respiratory rate.



MgSO4 is ordered IV following the established protocol for a client with severe PIH. The anticipated effects of this therapy are anticonvulsant and:

  1. Vasoconstrictive
  2. Vasodilative
  3. Hypertensive
  4. Antiemetic

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

(A) An anticonvulsant effect is the goal of drug therapy for PIH. However, we would not want to increase the vasoconstriction that is already present. This would make the symptoms more severe. (B) An anticon-vulsant effect and vasodilation are the desired outcomes when administering this drug. (C) An anticonvulsant effect is the goal of drug therapy for PIH; however, hypertensive drugs would increase the blood pressure even more. (D) An anticonvulsant effect is the goal of drug therapy for PIH. MgSO4is not classified as an antiemetic.
Antiemetics are not indicated for PIH treatment.

Respiratory function is altered in a 16-year-old asthmatic. Which of the following is the cause of this alteration?

  1. Altered surfactant production
  2. Paradoxical movements of the chest wall
  3. Increased airway resistance
  4. Continuous changes in respiratory rate and depth

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

(A) Altered surfactant production is found in sudden infant death syndrome. (B) Paradoxical breathing occurs when a negative intrathoracic pressure is transmitted to the abdomen by a weakened, poorly functioning diaphragm. (C) Asthma is characterized by spasm and constriction of the airways resulting in increased resistance to airflow. (D) If the pulmonary tree is obstructed for any reason, inspired air has difficulty overcoming the resistance and getting out. The rate of respiration increases in order to compensate, thus increasing air exchange.
