Galen College Cincinnati Pharm Exam 2 questions with
answers 2024-2025
what do adrenergic agonists do? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔they stimulate the sympathetic
nervous system
what is the sympathetic nervous system? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔fight or flight response,
decrease in digestion and excretion
what are the 4 main adrenergic receptors? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1,
Beta 2
Alpha 1 - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔blood vessels, peripheral resistance and blood return to the
heart, improved circulation and bp
alpha 2 - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔inhibit release of norepinephrine, decrease in
vasoconstriction which leads to vasodilation and decreased bp
beta 1 - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔stimulation causes increased myocardial contractility and
heart rate
beta 2 - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔relaxation, bronchodilation of the lungs
Epinephrine class - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔adrenergic agonist
epinephrine use - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔emergencies to treat anaphylaxis, asthma,
bronchospasm, status asthmaticus, cardiac arrest
epinephrine side effects - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔anorexia, n&v, agitation, sweating, ha,
pallor, insomnia
, epinephrine adr - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔tachycardia, palpitations, hypertension, dyspnea
epinephrine increased effects - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔seen with TCAs and MAOIs
albuterol class - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔beta 2 adrenergic agonist
albuterol use - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔asthma and prophylaxis and treatment of
bronchospasm
albuterol side effects - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔tremors, restlessness, nervousness
albuterol adr - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔tachycardia, palpitations, hypertension, hypokalemia,
hyperglycemia
albuterol contraindications - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔do not take with MAOIS because it will
cause a hypertensive crisis
albuterol increased effects - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔TCAs
nursing process with adrenergic agonists - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔vitals, drug and health
history (do not give with glaucoma or cardiac dysrhythmia), report side effects, monitor urinary
output-retention is possible, OTC drugs-read labels for cold and diet meds, take as prescribed, nose
sprays/drops-may have rebound effects if used for a long time, epi-pen give in outer thigh(if epi pen
is needed more than 2x/wk notify MD)
what do adrenergic blockers do? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔they promote vasodilation to
decrease bp
what do beta blockers do? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔decrease hr and bp
