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 2:Levothyroxine (Levothroid) 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.

Global Rationale: Propylthiouracil (PTU) is used to treat hyperthyroidism. Liotrix (Euthroid)and levothyroxine (Levothroid)are incorrect because they are used to treat hypothyroidism. Hydrocortisone (Cortef) is used to treat Addison disease.
