in this set (147) How does hypoalbuminemia affect
the process of prescribing? Low albumin = more
What effect is produced of cholinergic blockers? this is the correct
answerAnticholinergics inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking
the binding of neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor and nerve cells. The nerve
fibers in the parasympathetic system are responsible for the involuntary movement of
smooth muscles present in the GI tract, urinary tract, and lungs.
Anticholinergics are divided into three categories in accordance with their specific target
in the central and this is the correct answeror peripheral nervous system, this
includes/ antimuscarinic agents, ganglionic blockers, and neuromuscular blockers.
Anticholinergic drugs are used to treat a variety of conditions, such as this is the
correct answerGI disorders like gastritis, diarrhea, pylorospasm, diverticulitis,
ulcerative colitis, nausea and vomiting; genitourinary disorders cystitis, urethritis,
prostatitis; respiratory disorders like asthma, chronic bronchitis, COPD, sinus
bradycardia due to hypersensitive vagus nerve, insomnia although usually only for a
short term basis, dizziness including vertigo, motion sickness related symptoms.
Anticholinergics side effects: this is the correct answerdecrease saliva production
and most produce some level of sedation, both being advantageous for surgery
procedures. For many of these effects cholinergic analogues produce the opposite effect
so it would be helpful for you to go through and note make another chart with the
,cholinergic receptors and what happens when you block them and you simulate them
and all the different organ systems.
Anticholinergics produce muscarinic blockade against acetylcholine. Muscarinic
receptors are all over the body. The goal of administration is to compete with this is
the correct answeracetylcholine at those receptor sites to keep acetylcholine from
acting on them (gets in the way). Side effects: can't pee, can't see, can't spit, can't shit
Cholinergic blockers are often used to treat this is the correct answerGI disorders
and complications.
All cholinergic blockers are used to treat this is the correct answerspastic or
hyperactive conditions of the GI and urinary tracts because they relax muscles and
decrease GI secretions. These drugs may be used to relax the bladder and to treat
urinary incontinence. The quaternary ammonium and amine compounds such as
propantheline are the drugs of choice for these conditions because they cause fewer
adverse reactions than belladonna alkaloids. •
What are Belladonna alkaloids? this is the correct answerThis is used with
morphine to treat biliary colic (pain caused by stones in the bile duct). •
Cholinergic blocking drugs are given by injection before such diagnostic procedures as
endoscopy and sigmoidoscopy to this is the correct answerrelax the GI smooth
muscle.
Who gives the ARNP authority to practice and prescribe medications? this is the
correct answerIt's the state board of nursing in your respective state
Carvedilol is what type of blocker and what is its brand name? this is the correct
answeralpha and beta blockers which is sold in the brand name Coreg,
, Coreg is a this is the correct answerit is a beta-blocker used in the treatment of mild
to severe heart congestive heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction following heart
attack people in people who are otherwise stable, and high blood pressure.
How does Coreg work? this is the correct answerIt primarily works by vasodilation
of the peripheral vasculature, thereby decreasing the workload of the heart. It is a non-
selective beta-blocker and also an alpha 1 blocker, belongs to the third generation of
beta-blockers. It is particularly useful in African Americans. The starting dose is 6.25 to
25 milligrams, by mouth, twice a day, and should be administered with food to prevent
postural hypertension.
What race does Coreg work best for? this is the correct answerAfrican Americans
Coreg Prescription info: this is the correct answerThe starting dose is 6.25 to 25
milligrams, by mouth, twice a day, and should be administered with food to prevent
postural hypertension.
Phases of Drug Development this is the correct answer
Pharmacokinetics this is the correct answerthe study of the movement of drugs in
the body, including the processes of absorption, distribution, localization in tissues,
biotransformation, and excretion.
beta blockers: this is the correct answerBeta blockers work by blocking the effects of
the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. When you take beta blockers, the
heart beats more slowly and with less force, thereby reducing blood pressure
Anticholinergic Drugs this is the correct answerThe anticholinergics and
antispasmodics are a group of medicines that include the natural belladonna alkaloids
(atropine, belladonna, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine) and related products.
What are anticholinergic drugs used for? this is the correct answerThe
anticholinergics and antispasmodics are used to relieve cramps or spasms of the
