ACTUAL EXAM COMPLETE 150 QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |
ALREADY GRADED A+
what do adrenergic agonists do? - ANSWER: they stimulate the sympathetic nervous
system
what is the sympathetic nervous system? - ANSWER: fight or flight response,
decrease in digestion and excretion
what are the 4 main adrenergic receptors? - ANSWER: Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, Beta
2
Alpha 1 - ANSWER: blood vessels, peripheral resistance and blood return to the
heart, improved circulation and bp
alpha 2 - ANSWER: inhibit release of norepinephrine, decrease in vasoconstriction
which leads to vasodilation and decreased bp
beta 1 - ANSWER: stimulation causes increased myocardial contractility and heart
rate
beta 2 - ANSWER: relaxation, bronchodilation of the lungs
Epinephrine class - ANSWER: adrenergic agonist
epinephrine use - ANSWER: emergencies to treat anaphylaxis, asthma,
bronchospasm, status asthmaticus, cardiac arrest
epinephrine side effects - ANSWER: anorexia, n&v, agitation, sweating, ha, pallor,
insomnia
epinephrine adr - ANSWER: tachycardia, palpitations, hypertension, dyspnea
epinephrine increased effects - ANSWER: seen with TCAs and MAOIs
albuterol class - ANSWER: beta 2 adrenergic agonist
albuterol use - ANSWER: asthma and prophylaxis and treatment of bronchospasm
albuterol side effects - ANSWER: tremors, restlessness, nervousness
albuterol adr - ANSWER: tachycardia, palpitations, hypertension, hypokalemia,
hyperglycemia
, albuterol contraindications - ANSWER: do not take with MAOIS because it will cause
a hypertensive crisis
albuterol increased effects - ANSWER: TCAs
nursing process with adrenergic agonists - ANSWER: vitals, drug and health history
(do not give with glaucoma or cardiac dysrhythmia), report side effects, monitor
urinary output-retention is possible, OTC drugs-read labels for cold and diet meds,
take as prescribed, nose sprays/drops-may have rebound effects if used for a long
time, epi-pen give in outer thigh(if epi pen is needed more than 2x/wk notify MD)
what do adrenergic blockers do? - ANSWER: they promote vasodilation to decrease
bp
what do beta blockers do? - ANSWER: decrease hr and bp
atenolol class - ANSWER: adrenergic blocker
atenolol use - ANSWER: hypertension, angina, prophylaxis and treatment of acute MI
atenolol side effectss - ANSWER: drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, nausea, diarrhea
atenolol adr - ANSWER: bradycardia, hypotension, heart failure, dyspnea
no LOL with - ANSWER: asthma
atenolol contraindications - ANSWER: bradycardia, caution in patients with copd or
asthma because bronchoconstriction can occur. no nsaids. taper to discontinue to
avoid tachycardia and hypertension
what do cholinergic agonists do? - ANSWER: stimulate the parasympathetic nervous
system. stimulate bladder and GI tone, control pupils, increase neuromuscular
transmission
what is the parasympathetic nervous system - ANSWER: rest and digest
bethanechol chloride class - ANSWER: cholinergic
bethanechol chloride use - ANSWER: increase urination for those with urinary
retention
bethanechol side effects - ANSWER: orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, blurred
vision, excessive salivation, diarrhea, bronchoconstriction (increases bronchial
secretions)
bethanechol adr - ANSWER: tachycardia, weakness, bronchospasm
