CORRECT ANSWERS 2025/2026
Epinephrine: Classification: - correct answers -Adrenergic Agonist
(Sympathomimetic)
Epinephrine: Action: - correct answers -Alpha 1: increase blood pressure; Beta 1:
increases heart rate; Beta 2: bronchodilation
Epinephrine: Uses (therapeutic effects): - correct answers -Prevents anphylaxis,
anaphylatic shock, bronchospasms, status asthmaticus, cardiogenic resuscitation,
cardiac arrest
Epinephrine: side effects: - correct answers -cardiac: palpitations, tachycardia,
hypertension, restlessness, hyperglycemia
Epinephrine: Adverse effects: - correct answers -Palpitations, tachycardia,
increased blood pressure, dyspnea, tissue necrosis at IV site
Epinephrine: Life-threatening effects - correct answers -V. fib, pulmonary edema
Epinephrine: Contraindications/Cautions: - correct answers -cardiac dysrhythmias,
hypertension, hyperthyroidism, D.M., pregnancy
,Epinephrine: Drug Interactions: - correct answers -Beta blockers, digoxin, TCA's,
MAOI's
Epinephrine: Assessment - correct answers -Baseline vital signs, drug history,
health history, glucose level
Epinephrine: Diagnosis - correct answers -Sleep pattern, insomnia - related to use,
knowledge deficit: related to drug administration
Epinephrine: Planning - correct answers -Vital Signs will be within acceptable
ranges, therapeutic effects of blood pressure/ breathing pattern, and cardiac
output
Epinephrine: Interventions: - correct answers -Monitor IV site / vital signs, ECG,
record urine output and assess for bladder distention, monitor N/V, monitor
glucose for D.M. patients, Teaching: record uses of OTC meds, proper
administration of EpiPen, reporting side effects
Atenolol: Classification - correct answers -Beta Adrenergic Antagonist
Atenolol: Action - correct answers -Selectively blocks beta 1 adrenergic receptor
sites, decreases sympathetic outflow to the periphery, suppresses R-A-A system
Atenolol: Uses - correct answers -Treats hypertension, angina, and prophylaxis and
treatment of acute M.I.'s
, Albuterol: Classification - correct answers -Beta 2 Adrenergic Agonist
Albuterol: Action: - correct answers -Stimulates beta 2 (adrenergic) receptors in
lungs and relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, leads to bronchodilation,
Albuterol: Uses - correct answers -Treats asthma, prophylaxis, and bronchospasm
Albuterol: Side Effects - correct answers -tremor, dizziness, drowsiness, headache,
nasopharyngitis, insomnia, weakness, nausea, diarrhea, muscle cramps
Albuterol: - correct answers -
Bethanechol (Urecholine): Uses: - correct answers -To treat urinary retention and
neurogenic bladder
Bethanechol (Urecholine): Mechanism of Action: - correct answers -Stimulates the
cholinergic receptors contraction of the bladder. Increases GI secretions and
peristalsis, constriction of the pupil and bronchoconstriction
Bethanechol (Urecholine): Contraindications: - correct answers -Intestinal and
urinary tract obstruction, IBS, peptic ulcer. Severe bradycardia, hypotension,
COPD, parkinsonism, hyperthyroidism
Seizures, active asthma
