NSG 318 EXAM REVIEW SOLVED
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
SHEET
●● what occurrence is an effect of beta-1 adrenergic receptor stimulation
Answer: increased renin secretion
●● which body parts are regulated by the ANS
Answer: smooth muscles and glands
-eyes
-heart
-urinary bladder
-respiratory system
-GI tract
●● stimulation of what receptor will cause increased heart rate
Answer: Beta 1
●● drugs that stimulate the PNS
Answer: cholinergic agonists (by mimicking ACH)
,●● complications of anticholinergic drugs
Answer: dry mouth, tachycardia, blurred vision (due to blockage of
cholinergic receptors)
●● what would a nurse monitor while observing the activation of
muscarinic receptors
Answer: increased bronchial secretion
●● cholinergic drugs that stimulate muscarinic receptors are indicated
for:
Answer: lowering intraocular pressure in a pt with glaucoma
●● antidote for overdose of atropine (flushing, dry skin and mucous
membranes, mydriasis, alt mental status, fever)
Answer: physostigmine
●● Antidote for benzodiazepines
Answer: Flumazenil
●● when should you not give bethanechol
Answer: if the pt has low BP (hypotension)
●● which drug is used for myasthenia gravis
,Answer: neostigmine (prevents inactivation of ACH at neuromuscular
junction, causing increased nerve transmission and skeletal muscle
activation)
●● Opthalamic disorder caused by paralysis of the ciliary muscles
Answer: cycloplegia (loss of accommodation)
●● what drug is a direct-acting cholinergic agonist commonly used to
treat glaucoma
Answer: pilocarpine hydrochloride
●● what NSAID can be administered through IV
Answer: Ketorolac (can also be transmitted orally)
●● gout
Answer: metabolic disorder of uric acid and purines; inflammatory
condition of joints and tendons. caused by accumulation of uric acid and
creates tophi, pain in joints
●● foods containing salicylates
Answer: prunes, raisins, licorice, paprika, curry
●● prostaglandin function
, Answer: -vasodilation
-inc capillary permeability
-inc platelet aggregation (inflammation)
●● Cardinal signs of inflammation
Answer: redness, swelling, heat, pain, loss of function
●● a pt is at an increased risk for a stroke. The nurse anticipates that the
health care provider will prescribe:
Answer: aspirin (low dose)
●● antiinflammatories inhibit what substance
Answer: prostaglandin
●● which physiological change occurs during the delayed process of
inflammation
Answer: infiltration of leukocytes into the site
●● pathophysiology of pain
Answer: chemical mediators sensitize the pain receptors
●● a pt with migraine headaches who is on SSRI therapy is prescribed
sumatriptan. what possible complication might the nurse see in the pt
