Pharm 102 Exam 1 with 100% Correct
Answers
Agonist versus antagonist medications - ANS-Agonist- activates
Antagonist-blocks
Selectivity of a drug - ANS-Drug elicits only the response for which it is given
Non-selectivity - ANS-Activates many body processes
Simulation of beta-1 adrenergic receptors - ANS-Increase HR, increase cardiac output
Stimulation of beta-2 receptors will cause: - ANS-the airway diameter to dilate.
(bronchodilation) and elevated blood glucose
Non-medical application on CNS - ANS-Mind-altering, stimulant effect
Medical application on CNS - ANS-Analgesic effect.
Relief from pain, seizures, treatment of psych disorders.
Definition of drug tolerance - ANS-Requires larger doses due to decrease response.
CNS effects of prolonged drug exposure - ANS-Chronic use causing nausea and take
full therapeutic effect.
Treatment of acute attack of MS - ANS-Short-course, high dose IV glucocortoids.
(methylprednisone)
Types of Seizures - ANS--Tonic-clonic (grand-mal)
-Myoclonic (1 limb loss)
-Atonic (akinetic or loss of muscle tone)
-Absence
Phenytoin Uses - ANS-Seizures, cardiac dysrhythmias, or epilepsy
Phenytoin important info - ANS--Do not switch out with brand name.
Phenytoin - ANS-Adverse effects: Nystagmus, N/V, gingival hyperplasia, rash, sedation,
ataxia, cognitive impairment, double vision
Toxicity S/S: (x>20mcg) ataxia, N/V, nystagmus
