1. Right Answer: B
Explanation: Improving quality of life is the primary goal of family education. Symptom reduction is a goal of psychoeducation, not family education. Increased knowledge about mental illness might accompany family education, but is not a goal of it. Improved quality of life and reduced family burden are the goals. Improved care-giving skills might accompany family education but are not a goal of it. Psychosocial Integrity
2. Right Answer: D
Explanation: Acyclovir is an antiviral effective in shortening the duration of infection in herpes. It is used in HIV and AIDS to treat opportunistic, viral infections but is not a primary AIDS drug. Candida is a fungus and is responsive to antifungal medication. Safety and Infection Control
3. Right Answer: D
Explanation: Floxin is a quinolone antibiotic used in respiratory infections and pelvic and reproductive infections. Rarely, quinolones can cause tendon sheath rupture, usually of the Achilles. At the first indication of tendon pain, the antibiotic should be discontinued. Safety and Infection Control
4. Right Answer: B
Explanation: Vancomycin levels are monitored to ensure therapeutic effects by peak level. Trough level is that level of wash out or lowest level of drug just prior to the next dose. The blood is taken approximately 2 hours after an IV infusion. Renal function is measured by creatinine and BUN or creatinine clearance and resistance by sensitivity. Safety and Infection Control
5. Right Answer: B
Explanation: Individual state laws mandate the reporting of infectious diseases. The list of reportable diseases varies from state to state and is overseen by state health departments. CDC reporting is voluntary and done via collaboration with state agencies. There are 58 emerging infectious diseases under surveillance by theCDC. Safety and Infection Control
