NURS 124 - EXAM 1 MED CARDS (LCCC) QUESTIONS
WITH ACCURATE ANSWERS
albuterol (Proventil) correct answer T: bronchodilator
P: andrengenic
USES: control and prevent airway obstruction caused by asthma or COPD
MOA: binds to beta2-adrengenic receptors in airway smooth muscle to dilate it
SIDE EFFECTS: palpations, angina, insomnia, tremors
N.I: pulmonary function test, vitals
amantadine (Symmetrel) correct answer T: antiviral for flu
P: viral replication inhibitor
USES: influenza infections
MOA: not known
SIDE EFFECTS: insomnia, dizziness, mental confusion
N.I: avoid alcohol
atenolol (tenormin) correct answer T: antianginal
P: beta-blocker
USES: HF, HTN, angina, post-MI
MOA: blocks beta1-adrengeric receptors reducing contractility
SIDE EFFECTS: bradycardia, hyptonsion, fatigue, weakness, dizziness
N.I: do not stop abruptly, vitals, I/O, daily weight
beclomethasone (Beconase AQ) correct answer T: anti-inflammatory
, P: corticosteriod
USES: asthma, allergic rhinitis
MOA: reducing inflammation and immune responses decreasing frequency of
attacks
SIDE EFFECTS: hoarseness, dry mouth, taste changes
N.I:
dexamethasone (Decadron) correct answer T: antihistimine
P: corticosteriod
USES: suppression of inflammation and modification of normal immune response
MOA: suppress inflammation
SIDE EFFECTS: depression, HTN, anorexia, acne
N.I: focused assessment, signs for adrenal insufficiency, I/O, LOC
digoxin (Lanoxin) correct answer T: drug for heart failure
P: cardiac glycoside
USES: increases cardiac output, slowing heart rate, HF, A-Fib
MOA: increases force of myocardial contraction, decreases conduction through
SA and AV node
SIDE EFFECTS: fatigue, weakness, blurred vision
N.I: apical pulse, ECG, do not give for hr under 60bpm
guaifenesin (Mucinex) correct answer T: allergy, cold and cough remedy
P: expectorants
USES: reduce viscosity of secretions
