✔✔if a large dose of Acetaminophen is ingested what can happen? -
✔✔hepatotoxin(liver) and possibly nephrotoxic(kidney)
✔✔Acetamininophen is used as? - ✔✔analgesic and antipyretic
✔✔NSAIDs contraindictions - ✔✔nursing and pregnancy, serious bleeding, allergy,
impaired renal function, drug(anticoagulant)
✔✔NSAIDs used in dental, pain is best managed with? - ✔✔400mg of Ibuprofen
✔✔NSAIDs drug of choice for nursing - ✔✔Ibuprofen
✔✔NSAIDs oral effects - ✔✔ulcerative stomatitis, gingival ulcerations and dry mouth.
✔✔NSAIDs blood clotting reaction? - ✔✔in contrast to aspirin, the effect only remains
as long as the drug is present in the blood
✔✔NSAIDs GI effects - ✔✔Can increase acid secretion.
✔✔NSAIDs are similar to aspirin in? - ✔✔analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory.
✔✔NSAID peak - ✔✔1-2 hr
✔✔Most useful drug group for treatment of dental pain - ✔✔NSAIDs
✔✔drug used most safely in pt who have arthritis - ✔✔Aspirin
✔✔a drug interaction between aspirin and Warfarin can result in? - ✔✔significant
bleeding
✔✔If allergic to ASA (aspirin) cannot give? - ✔✔NSAID because of cross
hypersensitivity (e.g.:Ibuprofen)
✔✔opioid of choice when there is an allergy to aspirin - ✔✔Codeine
, ✔✔in association with Reye's syndrome what is now used for fever or pain in pediatric
and adolecents to reduce chances? - ✔✔ACETAMINOPHEN and NSAIDs
✔✔what does aspirin do in relation to bleeding? - ✔✔irreversibly interferes with clotting
mechanism by reducing platelet adhesiveness
✔✔most frequent side effect associated with ASA - ✔✔gastrointestinal (GI) effects
✔✔the ability of aspirin to reduce fever results from what? - ✔✔inhibition of
prostaglandin synthesis in the hypothalamus
✔✔ASA analgesic is used for - ✔✔low to moderate pain
✔✔For severe pain you should consider? - ✔✔opioids
✔✔ASA peak effect on an empty stomach - ✔✔30 min
✔✔Aspirin have what actions - ✔✔anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, and
antiplatelet
✔✔most useful and common Salicylate to reduce pain - ✔✔Aspirin
✔✔Clients pretreated with α-adrenergic blocking agents and then given epinephrine
exhibit a predominance of beta effects (vasodilation), which does what? - ✔✔this is
called epinephrine reversal since it lowers BP.
✔✔Adrenergic (sympathomimetic) agents should not be used in persons with
uncontrolled? - ✔✔hypertension, angina, or hyperthyroidism
✔✔Sympathomimetic agents will stimulate salivary flow from ONLY the -
✔✔Submaxillary and Sublingual glands
✔✔On administration of an agent, heart rate increases because of a direct effect on the
heart. However, total peripheral resistance decreases dramatically. As a consequence,
systolic blood pressure increases only slightly, and mean arterial pressure typically falls.
This agent is? - ✔✔Isoproterenol
✔✔β1- receptors - ✔✔stimulates heart muscle; increase heart rate
✔✔β2- receptors - ✔✔smooth muscle inhibition or relaxation
✔✔α-receptors - ✔✔cause excitation, contraction and thus vasoconstriction in smooth
muscles (increase blood pressure)
