(A) Norepinephrine’s side effects are primarily related to safe, effective care environment and
include decreased peripheral perfusion and bradycardia. (B) Dobutamine’s side effects include
increased heart rate and blood pressure, ventricular ectopy, nausea, and headache. (C)
Propranolol’s side effects includeelevated blood urea nitrogen, serum transaminase, alkaline

increasing glycogenolysis and inhibiting insulin release. Prolonged use can elevate serum lactate
levels, leading to metabolic acidosis, increased urinary catecholamines, false elevation of blood
urea nitrogen, and decreased coagulation time.
