• Morphine - answer✔Opioid agonist: binds to the opioid mu-1 and mu-2 and kappa receptors in
the CNS and alters pain perception and response
Side effects: confusion, sedation, constipation, hypotension, respiratory depression
Antidote= naloxene
• Demerol - answer✔Opioid agonist mu-1 and mu-2 and kappa receptors.
side effects:
-Nausea
- Vomiting
- Euphoria
- Dysphoria
- Respiratory Depression
Adverse effect: seizures
Antidote= naloxene
• Ativan
• - answer✔Potentiates action of GABA, resulting in increased neuronal inhibition and CNS
depression,
Side effects:

Dilantin - answer✔1. Anticonvulsant: stabilizes neuronal membranes and limits seizure activity
by either increasing efflux or decreasing influx of sodium ions across cell membranes in the
motor cortex during generation of nerve impulses.
2. Antiarrhythmic: normalizes sodium influx to Purkinje's fibers in patients with induced
dysrhythmias.
Side effects:
1. nausea, vomiting
2. CNS depression
3. respiratory depression
4. heart blocks
5. hypotension
6. dysrhythmias
• Nitroglycerine - answer✔-Reduces venous tone. (Blood pooling in periph veins, decreasing
venous return to the heart.
-Decreased periph. vascular resistance.
-Dilation of coronary arteries and relief of coronary artery spasm.
-Vasodilation of cerebral arteries, increasing O2 to brain.
-Generalized smooth muscle relaxation.
Side effects:
Dizziness, hypotension, headache, -nausea
-vomiting
-blurred vision
-dizziness
-syncope
-diaphoresis
-confusion
-dry mouth
