A nurse presenting information regarding anthrax should include which information? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply.
 
  1. Anthrax can spread easily.
  2. There are three basic types of anthrax.
  3. Anthrax is killed by heat.
  4. The main area affected by inhalation anthrax is the lung periphery.
  5. Anthrax causes disease by the emission of multiple toxins, each affecting a different part of the body.

Question 2

The patient is receiving bumetanide (Bumex) and asks the nurse, What is all this about 'loops' in my medicine? What is the best response by the nurse?
 
  1. This medication reabsorbs potassium in the loop of Henle in your kidney. It is safer than other diuretics.
  2. This is a loop diuretic, which means it works in the proximal loop of your kidney. Not all diuretics work the same way.
  3. This is a loop diuretic, which refers to where it acts in your kidney. Not all diuretics work the same way.
  4. This medication blocks sodium reabsorption in what is known as Bowman's capsule. Not all diuretics work the same way.

Rationale 4: The main area affected by inhalation anthrax is the mediastinum.
Rationale 5: There are two toxins emitted by the bacterium.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Bumetanide (Bumex) is a potassium-excreting drug; it does not reabsorb potassium.
Rationale 2: Bumetanide (Bumex) works in the loop of Henle, not the proximal loop.
Rationale 3: Bumetanide (Bumex) is called a loop diuretic because it acts by preventing the reabsorption of sodium in the loop of Henle.
Rationale 4: Bumetanide (Bumex) blocks reabsorption of sodium in the loop of Henle, not in Bowman's capsule.
Global Rationale: Bumetanide (Bumex) is called a loop diuretic because it acts by preventing the reabsorption of sodium in the loop of Henle. Bumetanide (Bumex) is a potassium-excreting drug; it does not reabsorb potassium.
Bumetanide (Bumex) works in the loop of Henle, not the proximal loop. Bumetanide (Bumex) blocks reabsorption of sodium in the loop of Henle, not in Bowman's capsule.
