A nurse administers a new protein-bound medication to a 78-year-old patient with a history of poorly controlled diabetes. What would be the nurse's expectation about the drug's duration of effect? The duration would be:
 
  1. unrelated to guidelines in drug literature.
  2. shorter than guidelines for adult patients.
  3. in line with guidelines for adult patients.
  4. longer than guidelines for adult patients.

Question 2

When administering a drug that affects the central nervous system (such as morphine) to an infant, the nurse must know that:
 
  1. the drug dosage per kilogram of body weight must be higher to cross the infant's blood-brain barrier.
  2. the drug dosage will not cross the blood-brain barrier, so it is necessary to give an alternate preparation.
  3. the dosage must be reduced because drugs readily cross the infant's blood-brain barrier.
  4. CNS effects are not likely to reach toxic levels in infants.
