NURS 223 Adaptive Quiz:Lehne ChaptersExam #1 Drugs-questions and answers
The nurse is preparing to give a medication that stimulates the beta2 receptors. What
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
response would the nurse expect from this drug?
m m m m m m m m
1
Hypoglycemia
2
Bronchodilation
3
Increased peristalsis
m
4
Constriction of the pupil - ANSWER: ➡ Bronchodilation
m m m m m mm m
Activation of beta2 receptors leads to bronchodilation; decreased uterine contractions;
m m m m m m m m m
hyperglycemia; and vasodilation of the heart, lungs, and skeletal muscle. It does not produce
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
hypoglycemia, increased peristalsis, or constriction of the pupil..
m m m m m m m m
The nurse is teaching a group of coworkers about drugs that affect the somatic motor system
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
function. The nurse will teach that the site of action of this motor system is at what location?
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
1
Preganglionic neurons m
2
Postganglionic neurons m
3
Neuromuscular junction m
4
Synapses of all neurons - ANSWER: ➡ Neuromuscular junction
m m m m m mm m m
,Because this pathway contains only one neuron, peripherally acting drugs that affect somatic
m m m m m m m m m m m m
motor system function have only one site of action: the neuromuscular junction. This is
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
unique to the somatic motor system. Other systems have numerous sites of action.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
Which neurotransmitter is most commonly found at the synapses of the peripheral nervous
m m m m m m m m m m m m
system?
m
1
Dopamine
2
Epinephrine
3
Acetylcholine
4
Norepinephrine - ANSWER: ➡ Acetylcholine m m mm m
Dopamine, epinephrine, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters for the
m m m m m m m m
peripheral nervous system, but acetylcholine is the most abundant. It is released by all
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
preganglionic neurons in the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. It also is released
m m m m m m m m m m m m
by all postganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic nervous system.
m m m m m m m m m
A patient is experiencing symptoms of the fight-or-flight response. Which autonomic process
m m m m m m m m m m m
stimulates this response?
m m m
1
Baroreceptor reflex m
2
Sympathetic system m
3
Parasympathetic system m
4
,Predominant tone of the organs - ANSWER: ➡ Sympathetic system
m m m m m m mm m m
Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system produces the fight-or-flight response. The
m m m m m m m m m m
baroreceptor reflex regulates blood pressure.
m m m m m
There are three main neurotransmitters used by the peripheral nervous system (PNS). What
m m m m m m m m m m m m
is the neurotransmitter employed at most junctions of the peripheral nervous system?
m m m m m m m m m m m m
1
Dopamine
2
Epinephrine
3
Acetylcholine
4
Norepinephrine - ANSWER: ➡ Acetylcholine m m mm m
Acetylcholine is the transmitter employed at most junctions of the PNS. Norepinephrine is
m m m m m m m m m m m m
released by the postganglionic neurons. Epinephrine is released by the adrenal medulla. The
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
role of dopamine has not been demonstrated conclusively.
m m m m m m m m
The nurse is preparing to give a drug to stimulate activation of adrenergic receptors. Which
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
effects indicate sympathetic stimulation?
m m m m
1
Sinus bradycardia
m
2
Atrioventricular block m
3
Increase in heart rate m m m
4
, Constriction of pupils - ANSWER: ➡ Increase in heart rate
m m m m mm m m m m
Activation of the adrenergic receptors stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and
m m m m m m m m m m
causes an increase in heart rate.
m m m m m m
What is the advantage of patients having multiple types of receptors to regulate bodily
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
functions?
m
1
Lower therapeutic index
m m
2
Improved maximal efficacy m m
3
Higher degree of selectivity
m m m
4
Reduction of side effects and toxicity - ANSWER: ➡ Higher degree of selectivity
m m m m m m m mm m m m m
Selectivity is one of the most desirable qualities a drug can have. Many neuropharmacologic
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
drugs are highly selective, because the nervous system works through multiple receptors to
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
regulate processes under its control.
m m m m m
What is a clinical indicator of parasympathetic nervous system stimulation?
m m m m m m m m m
1
Retention of urine m m
2
Dilation of the pupils m m m
3
Dilation of the bronchi m m m
4
Slowing of the heart rate - ANSWER: ➡ Slowing of the heart rate
