Upon blocking a Serotonin reuptake pump, what happens in the synaptic cleft and on the
post synaptic cell membrane?
Selected A.
Answer: The result will be an increase in available Serotonin in the synaptic cleft
causing the post synaptic cell to increase the number of Serotonin
receptors.
Answers: A.
The result will be an increase in available Serotonin in the synaptic cleft
causing the post synaptic cell to increase the number of Serotonin
receptors.
B.
The result will be an increase in the available Serotonin in the synaptic
cleft causing the post synaptic neuron to reduce the number of Serotonin
receptors.
C.
The result will be an increase in Serotonin in the synaptic cleft resulting in
an increase in reuptake pumps on the presynaptic neuron.
D.
The result will be an increase in Serotonin in the synaptic cleft resulting in
a decrease in reuptake pumps on the pre-synaptic neuron.
Response A, C, and D are misrepresentations of what occurs when you increase
Feedback: Serotonin in the synaptic cleft. There is no effect on the pre-synaptic
neuron, and the increases in Serotonin result in a reduction of receptor
concentration on the post-synaptic neuron.
Question 2

A patient arrives in the ED via EMS having a grand mal seizure. The ED physician instructs
, the RN to give 10 milligrams of Diazepam IV X1 dose STAT. The patient’s seizure breaks
within 2 minutes of the Diazepam being administered. The mechanism by which this
medication causes rapid resolution of seizure activity is via which receptor type (effector
pathway/receptor subtype)?
Selected C.
Answer: Rapid effector pathways/G-protein coupled
receptor
Answers: A.
Slow effector pathways/G-protein coupled
receptor
B.
Slow effector pathway/ion channel
C.
Rapid effector pathways/G-protein coupled
receptor
D.
Rapid effector pathway/ion channel
Response Options B and C are mismatched, and Option A shows effects days
Feedback: to weeks after activation.
Question 3

Neurotransmitters are defined by four essential characteristics. These are:
Selected E.
Answer: A, C, and D only
Answers: A.
Neurotransmitters are synthesized within presynaptic neurons.
B.
Depolarization of a neuron results in the release of a neurotransmitter,
which exerts a multitude of actions on the postsynaptic neuron.
C.
Their action on postsynaptic neurons can be replicated by administering
a drug that mimics the activity of the endogenous neurotransmitter.
D.
Their action in the synaptic cleft is terminated by a specific action.
E.
A, C, and D only
Response Answer B should read a “discrete” (not multitude) action on the
Feedback: post synaptic neuron.
