Galen Pharmacology exam 2 with accurate detailed solutions
|| || || || || || ||
Adrenergic Agonist ||
epinephrine: activates the SNS by increasing BP (alpha1), HR (beta1) and promotes
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
bronchioldilation (beta2) ||
SNS response from adrenergic agonists
|| || || ||
agents that activate adrenergic receptors in the sympathetic nervous system causing
|| || || || || || || || || ||
o Dilates pupils, increases intraocular pressure
|| || || || ||
o Dilates bronchioles
|| ||
o Increases heart rate and strength of contractions
|| || || || || || ||
o Constricts blood vessels and increases BP
|| || || || || ||
o Reduces GI secretions and motility
|| || || || ||
o Relaxes bladder and decreases urination
|| || || || ||
o Decreases contractions and relaxes the uterus
|| || || || || ||
o Increases glycosis (glucose release) and blood glucose
|| || || || || || ||
Indications for epinephrine || ||
o Asthma and bronchospasm
|| || ||
o Allergic reaction, anaphylaxis
|| || ||
o Severe hypotension, cardiac arrest
|| || || ||
o Nasal congestion

|| || || || || || || || ||
Nursing interventions-epinephrine
||
-Monitor vital signs at baseline and after administration. -Monitor Blood glucose levels

-monitor EKG ||
-ensure Pt knows how to use pen and demonstrates, check contents of pen, no pink or
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
brown
-Pt should not be using epipen frequently
|| || || || || ||
-use at first sign of s/s of allergic reaction
|| || || || || || || ||
-have pen with them all the time, not to store in extreme cold of hot temps
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
-go to ER after having to use it
|| || || || || || ||
,2
-hold pen in skin for 5-10 seconds after auto injector goes off

-massage injection site
