NUR3196 Drug Cards Exam One With Questions AndAccurate Answers
What pharmacological class does Epinephrine belong to?
sympathomimetic adrenergic agonist
What are the therapeutic effects/uses of epinephrine?
for the treatment of nasal congestion, allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, asthma
exacerbation, bronchospasm, angioedema, status asthamticus, cardiac arrest, cardiac
resuscitation
mechanics of action: acts of alpha and beta receptors, promotion of CNS and cardiac
stimulation and bronchodilation; strengthens cardiac contraction, increases cardiac
rate and cardiac output, reduces mucosal congestion by inhibiting histamine release,
reverses anaphylaxis reactions
What are the side effects of epinephrine? nausea, vomiting, restlessness, tremor,
agitation, headache, pallor, oliguria, weakness, dizziness, hypo/hyperglycemia,
paresthesia What are the adverse reactions of epinephrine? Palpitations, tachycardia,
hypertension, dyspnea, MI, renal insufficiency, injection site reaction LIFE
THREATENING: dysrhythmias, pulmonary edema What drug class is atenolol? Beta 1
adrenergic blocker What are the therapeutic effects/uses of atenolol? To treat
hypertension, angina, and prophylaxis and treatment of acute myocardial infarction
mechanism of action: selectively blocks beta 1 adrenergic receptor sites, decreases
sympathetic outflow to the periphery, surpasses renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
What are the side effects of atenolol?
drowsiness, dizziness, headache, depression, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, erectile
dysfunction
What are the adverse reactions of atenolol?
bradycardia, tachycardia, hypotension, chest pain, heart failure, dyspnea
LIFE THREATENING: bronchospasm, renal failure, dysrhythmias, thrombocytopenia
What is the drug class of bethanechol chloride?
cholinergic, parasympathomimetic
What are the therapeutic effects/uses of bethanechol chloride?
, to treat urinary retention and neurogenic bladder
mechanism of action: stimulates the cholinergic (muscarinic) receptors; promotes
contraction of the bladder, increases GI secretions and peristalsis, pupillary
constriction and bronchoconstriction
What are the side effects of bethanechol chloride?
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, hypersalivation, sweating (diaphoresis),
headache, dizziness, flushing, urinary urgency and frequency, miosis, and lacrimation
What are the adverse reactions to bethanechol chloride?
tachycardia, hypotension
LIFE THREATENING: bronchospasm, wheezing, seizures
What drug class is atropine?
anticholinergic/parasympatholytic
What is the therapeutic effects/uses of atropine?
preoperative medication to reduce salivation, for the increase in HR in bradycardia,
reversal of neuromuscular blockade, cholinergic crisis, mydriasis for diagnostic ocular
examination
mechanism of action: inhibition of acetylcholine by occupying receptors, increased HR
due to blockage of vagus stimulation, dilatation of pupils due to blockage of iris
sphincter muscles
What are the side effects of atropine?
Drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, xerostomia, headache, confusion, insomnia, amnesia,
constipation, flushing, restlessness, blurred vision, mydriasis, anxiety, photophobia,
palpitations, urinary retention, hyperreflexia, ataxia, weakness, dehydration, injection
site reaction
What are the adverse reactions to atropine?
tachycardia, paradoxical bradycardia, hypertension, hypotension, angina, pulmonary
edema, respiratory depression, ileum, seizures
LIFE THREATENING: dysrhythmias, laryngospasm, coma
What is the drug class of benztropine?
antiparkinson, anticholinergic agent
What are the therapeutic uses and mechanisms of action for benztropine?
