Questions With Answers
/ // // //
The /
nurse
/ /
is
/ /
aware
/ /
that
/ /
adrenergic drugs produce effects similar to which of these
/ // // // // // // // //
nervous systems?
// //
a.Central nervous system // //
b.Somatic nervous system // //
c.Sympathetic nervous system // //
d.Parasympathetic /
nervous
/ /
system -
/ // /
CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✔✔c.Sympathetic nervous system
/ // // //
,Adrenergic /
drugs
/ /
mimic the effects of the sympathetic nervous system
/ // // // // // // //
When an adrenergic drug stimulates beta1-
// // // // //
adrenergic /
receptors,
/ /
the
/ /
result
/ /
is
/ /
an
/ /
increased
/ /
force
/ /
of contraction, which is known as what type of effect?
/ // // // // // // // // //
a.Positive inotropic //
b.Anti-adrenergic
c.Negative dromotropic //
d.Positive /
chronotropic -
/ // /
CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✔✔a.Positive inotropic
/ // //
An /
increased
/ /
force of contraction is known as a positive inotropic effect
/ // // // // // // // // //
,When //
a /
patient
/ /
is
/ /
taking
/ /
an
/ /
adrenergic
/ /
drug, the nurse expects to observe which effect?
/ // // // // // // //
a.Increased heart rate // //
b.Bronchial constriction //
c.Constricted pupils //
d.Increased /
intestinal
/ /
peristalsis -
/ // /
CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✔✔a.Increased heart rate
/ // // //
Increased /
heart
/ /
rate
/ /
is
/ /
one
/ /
of
/ /
the
/ /
effects
/ /
of
/ /
adrenergic
/ /
drugs.
/ /
Sympathetic
/ /
, / nervous /
/ system /
/ stimulation /
/ also /
/ results /
/ in /
/ bronchodilation, /
/ dilated /
/ pupils, /
/ and /
/ decreased /
/ gastrointestinal /
/ mobility, depending upon which receptors are stimulated. // // // // // //
An /
adrenergic
/ /
agonist
/ /
is
/ /
ordered
/ /
for
/ //
a /
patient
/ /
in
/ /

/ /
The
