Answer to Question 1
D
Feedback:
Urinary antiseptics may be bactericidal for sensitive organisms in the urinary tract because these drugs are concentrated in renal tubules and reach high levels in urine. They are not used in systemic infections because they do not attain therapeutic plasma levels. Consequently, the development of urosepsis would necessitate a systemic antibiotic. Fluid deficit, ketones in the urine, and elevated white cells would not necessarily contraindicate the use of nitrofurantoin.
Answer to Question 2
A
Feedback:
Because of the drugs' toxicity, nurses who administer IV cytotoxic chemotherapy should be specially trained to administer the medications safely and use protective equipment when handling the medication. Hand hygiene is important during care but will only minimally protect from harm. The medication is mixed in a variety of solutions and amounts. The medication is not normally administered intramuscularly.
