NURS 6015 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
ANSWERS.
Adrenergic Agonists (stimulates) Answer - increase blood pressure and heart
rate
Adrenergic agonists effect the Answer - Sympathetic nervous system
(sympathomimetric drugs)
Epinephrine drug-drug interaction Answer - do not give with MAOI-Inhibitor
Which adrenergic agonists stimulates all adrenergic receptors? Answer -
Epinephrine
Epinephrine adverse effects Answer - can increase glucose levels (Beta2 stim)
Epinepherine Answer - adrenergic agonist, non-specific, alpha and beta
What is the drug of choice for anaphylaxis? Answer - Epinephrine
Phenylephrine Answer - adrenergic agonist, specific, alpha 1, patent
vasoconstrictor
Phenylephrine Indications Answer - used in sinus medications -
vasoconstriction and helps with nasal congestion
, Can be used to dilate pupils for eye exam or to relieve pressure in glaucoma
Example of phenylephrine medications Answer - sudafed and nasal spray
Phenylephrine should be used in caution in what type of patients? Answer -
cautious use in patients with HTN
Phenylephrine drug-drug interaction Answer - MAOI
Phenylephine, is a potent vasoconstrictor and can be given IV as vasopressor.
What are the adverse effects? Answer - can cause tissue necrosis with the IV
site- have phentolamine on board
Dopamine Answer - adrenergic agonist, alpha and beta, non-specific
Beta agonist Answer - increases heart rate
Isoproterenol Answer - beta agonist, non-specific (beta 1 & 2) , increases HR
Isoproterenol is used often anymore due to its adverse effects, which are?
What should be readily available in case severe reaction occurs? Answer - CNS,
cardiac, respiratory; beta blocker (antidote)
Isoproterenol Indication Answer - bradycardia emergencies
Isoproterenol Contraindication Answer - Caution: thyroid disease, diabetes,
vasomotor problems, degenerative heart disease
