The nurse should divide the dose. Administer 0.75 mL IM in each vastus lateralis.

Not sure what medications you learned this week. but, psychiatric medications are not used with patients with dementia because it advances their deterioration.

it is important to have an understanding of medications to know what actually helps patients with alzheimer’s, and what will not further progress the disease.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

(B). inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase.

Explanation:

Lovastatin is a drug, which is used to reduce risk for cardiovascular diseases and to reduce level of cholesterol in blood.

It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase) enzyme, required for the formation of mevalonate from HMG-CoA.

Mevalonate is building block for the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Hence, lovastatin inhibits cholesterol production by inhibiting synthesis of mevalonate.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
