Answers| Grade A| 100% Correct (Verified
Solutions) (2025/ 2026 Update)
1. What does the adrenergic/sympathetic nervous system do?:
ADDS energy
2. What does beta 1 do as an adrenergic agent?: tachycardia or
speeds up the heart
3. What does beta 2 do as an adrenergic agent?: bronchodilation
4. What do alpha receptor sites do as an adrenergic agent?:
vasoconstriction/ raises bp
5. Adrenergic Agents: stimulate the sympathetic nervous system
and induce symptoms characteristic of the fight-or-flight response
-speeds heart rate
-vasoconstriction
-bronchial dilation
-bp rises
NUR 210
,-pupil dilation
-epinephrine for adrenaline
6. ADRs of adrenergic drugs: -Nervousness, insomnia, fine
muscle tremors
-Palpation, tachycardia, hypertension
-Work on entire body not just one receptor
7. Parasympathetic Cholinergic Agents: Muscarinic agonist: -
rest and digest -colon: stimulates peristalsis
-increase bladder muscle tone
-pupil constriction: near vision; so you can rest and read.
-decreased intraocular pressure
8. ADRs of cholinergic drugs: -diarrhea
-frequent urination
-blurred distance vision
-diaphoresis
9. diaphoresis: profuse sweating
10. name 2 cholinergic drugs: -reglan
,-urecholine
11. What is reglan used for?: GERD, N/V, Diabetic
gastroparesis, postoperative emesis
12. What is Urecholine used for?: to treat urinary retention
13. What do anticholinergic drugs do?: These drugs block the
parasympathetic nervous system. ( cholinergic blockers)
14. Muscarinic antagonist effects: -slow peristalsis
-slow urination
-pupil dilation
15. How are anticholinergics differ from adrenergic?:
different receptor sites 24. anticholinergic: cholinergic
antagonists: dry mouth, dry stool, dilated pupils, dilated bladder.
16. Target organs of anticholinergic drugs?: -cardiac (mild
increase in pulse rate)
-respiratory rate: mild bronchial dilator
-Mucous: decrease salvation (xerostomia)
-colon: decreased GI motility
, Ocular: dilates pupils (belladonna)
17. xerostomia: dry mouth
18. ADRs of anticholinergics: -xerostomia
-constipation
-vision impairment
-can't pee, see, spit or shit
-drowsiness
19. Anticholinergic for motion sickness and ADR:
drammeme/scapolomeme:
dry mouth
20. Anticholinergic for diarrhea.: ammonium
21. Anticholinergic for overactive bladder: ditropan
22. places in the body where this is healthy bacteria: -bowel
-upper respiratory
-skin
-vaginal vault
-stomach
