The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
A client with myasthenia gravis improves and is discharged from the hospital. The discharge medications include pyridostigmine bromide (Mestinon) 10 mg every six hours. The nurse evaluates that the drug regimen is understood when the client says, "I should:
1
Take the medication on an empty stomach."
2
Set an alarm so I take the medication on time."
3
Take my pulse rate before taking the medication."
4
Monitor for an increase in blood pressure after taking the medication."
Answer:
The correct answer is statement 2.
Explanation:
Pyridostigmine refers to an essential drug, which must be consumed on time, as a late or missed dose can lead to extreme neuromuscular and respiratory consequences or even death. Pyridostigmine should be consumed with a small concentration of food in order to inhibit gastric irritation.
It is not essential to take the pulse rate prior to taking the medication. Pyridostigmine may result in hypotension, however, not hypertension, which is not an indication of cholinergic crisis.
Answer:
A pandemic is an epidemic disease extended across wide regions, thereby affecting many countries and even continents, while endemic diseases affect the people from only one country or a specific region. Human Immune Deficiency (HIV) is an RNA virus whose life cycle is composed of the following stages: 1) binding to the cell host and membrane fusion, 2) subsequent reverse transcription into DNA and integration into genome host 3) proliferation (i.e., successive replication cycles) by using the cellular machinery of the host 4) new assembly and budding of the virus. The acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) occurs when the host immune system is seriously damaged by the HIV infection, this being the latest stage of infection. It is known that HIV/AIDS is more prevalent in the female population, while according to ethnic groups, it is more prevalent in African-American and Hispanic/Latino populations in the USA. The life expectancy in HIV-infected patients has notably improved in the last years and, currently, people with this disease can expect to live over 70 years or even more.
