Session Number 409 CERTIFICATION REVIEW: Questions, Answers, Rationales, Strategy Content Description In response to frequent requests for more practice with sample questions and answers, this session will be dedicated to fulfilling that request. We will present sample questions and include a discussion of rationale for correct and incorrect answers. Strategies for clues to correct answers will also be given. Sample questions will begin with subject-specific examples in the topics ...

Epinephrine is the neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system. - causing systemic vasoconstriction, binds to the cardiac beta-receptors, resulting in increased heart rate and increased cardiac output.

Atropine is a competitive antagonist for acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter used by the parasympathetic nervous system. - Blunts Parasympathetic nervous system

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS): any group of clinical symptoms resulting from acute myocardial ischemia. - begins with the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque, creating an injured area on the endothelium. platelet activation of the coagulation cascade and the formation of a thrombus over the injured area ensues - restricted blood flow, cardiac ischemia and chest pain, the most common symptom of ACS. ACS is divided into three categories: - unstable angina (USA) Non-ST segment elevation MI (...
