Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale 1: This medication is a biologic response modifier and the nurse would expect to find this on the MAR.
Rationale 2: This medication is an immunosuppressant not a biologic response modifier.
Rationale 3: This medication is an immunosuppressant not a biologic response modifier.
Rationale 4: This medication is an immunosuppressant not a biologic response modifier.

Global Rationale: Aldesleukin (Proleukin) is a biologic response modifier and the nurse would expect to find this on the MAR. The other medications listed are immunosuppressant agents and the nurse would not expect to find this on the MAR.
