Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4

Rationale 1: Hormones are used as replacement therapy for clients.They do not promote anticancer metabolites.
Rationale 2:One goal of hormone therapy might be to produce a response that is part of the normal action of the drug in order to achieve some therapeutic advantage.
Rationale 3: Hormones are used as replacement therapy for clients who are unable to secrete sufficient quantities of their own endogenous hormones.
Rationale 4: Some hormones (testosterone and estrogen) are used in cancer chemotherapy, although the antineoplastic mechanism of action is not known.
Rationale 5: Hormones are not prescribed to decrease lipid levels within the body.

Global Rationale: Hormones are used as replacement therapy for clients who are unable to secrete sufficient quantities of their own endogenous hormones. Some hormones (testosterone and estrogen) are used in cancer chemotherapy, although the antineoplastic mechanism of action is not known. Another goal of hormone therapy might be to produce an exaggerated response that is part of the normal action of the drug in order to achieve some therapeutic advantage. Hormones are not prescribed to decrease lipid levels within the body.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1:Liotrix (Euthroid) is incorrect because it is used to treat hypothyroidism.

Rationale 3:Propylthiouracil (PTU) is used to treat hyperthyroidism.
Rationale 4:Hydrocortisone (Cortef) is used to treat Addison disease.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
