stomach irritation and even

• weight gain.
• Use of anabolic steroids can

result in:

• Drugs that can depress appetite

include:

• alcohol.
• A type of drug that may cause

weight gain in clients is:

• insulin.
• The term used to describe the

loss of taste sensation is:

• dysgeusia.
• A drug that may help increase

nutrient absorption in

gastrointestinal disorders is:

• cimetidine.
• A type of over-the-counter drug

that can produce severe

malabsorption is:

• laxatives.
• Any drug that prevents

absorption of vitamin D will

indirectly cause a deficiency of:

• calcium.
• One way that some drugs can

cause mineral depletion is

through:

• increased renal excretion.
• Symptoms such as weakness,

nausea, anorexia, vomiting, and apprehension indicate a

deficiency of:

• potassium.
• Potassium deficiency may be

caused by the use of:

• diuretics.
• A medication that can interfere

with nutrient absorption via

chelation is:

• penicillamine.
• Iron deficiency related to chronic

blood loss may be caused by the

use of:

• aspirin.
• Natural licorice is sometimes

used to heal gastric ulcers, but it

has a side effect of:

• hypertension.
• Use of oral hypoglycemic agents

in combination with alcohol may

cause:

• hypoglycemia.
• Calcification of soft tissue may

occur from long-term use of:

• antacids.
• A drug that should not be used in

the latter part of pregnancy 1 / 2

because it may cause birth

defects is:

• aspirin.
• Aspirin may have beneficial

effects for patients with:

• arthritis.
• Research has shown that the

beneficial effects of aspirin are

the result of inhibition of:

• prostaglandins.
• Drugs such as the antimalaria

drug pyrimethamine inhibit the

action of:

• folate.
• The chemotherapeutic agent

methotrexate has multiple

antagonistic effects on:

• folic acid.
• A medication that adversely

affects folic acid metabolism is:

• methotrexate.
• The anticoagulant warfarin

(Coumadin) acts as an antagonist

to:

• vitamin K.
• A diuretic that may cause high

blood potassium levels is:

• spironolactone.
• The class of medications

associated with tyramine

syndrome is:

• monoamine oxidase

inhibitors.

• A severe tyramine reaction may

cause a crisis due to:

• Hypertension
• Abuse of alcohol can lead to low

levels of:

• potassium, magnesium,

and zinc.

• Hypoglycemic drugs prescribed

to control type 2 diabetes may

precipitate hypoglycemia by:

• stimulating release of

insulin.

• The medication used in the

treatment of alcoholism that may cause nausea, vomiting, and headache when alcohol is

consumed is:

• disulfiram (Antabuse).
• Grapefruit juice increases the

bioavailability of several drugs

by:

• blocking a cytochrome

system in the small intestine.

• Slower gastric emptying will

tend to cause drug absorption to:

• increase.
• Absorption of iron is improved

by eating foods that are high in:

• vitamin C.
• A vitamin that can help

overcome pulmonary oxygen

toxicity is:

• vitamin E.
• Absorption of tetracycline is

hindered when ingested with:

• milk.
• A nutrient that delays gastric

emptying time, thereby creating more optimal saturation rates for

drug absorption is:

• fat.
• It is important to ask patients if

they use herbal remedies

because:

• herbal remedies may have

adverse interactions with drugs.

• Vegetables such as cabbage,

broccoli, and cauliflower can accelerate medication

metabolism because they:

• stimulate enzymes in the

liver.

• A cooking method that can

increase hepatic drug metabolism

through enzyme induction is:

• charcoal grilling.
• Megadose intakes of pyridoxine
