CPAN FINAL STUDY GUIDE 2026
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
meperidine. Answer: drug of choice to treat renal and biliary colic,
causes least amount of smooth muscle spasm, can not use on pt with
MAOI's-can cause hypertensive crisis, hyperthermia, seizures, and
rigidity
ketorolac. Answer: NSAID, can cause: reversible inhibition of
platelet aggregation, bronchospasm (asthma+asa sensitivity), dose
reduced for patients under 50kg, elderly, renal insufficiency
Nubain. Answer: nalbuphine, strong analgesic with mixed
agonist/antagonist effect at pain receptors, it antagonizes (reverses)
respiratory depression created by narcotics, can reverse analgesia from
narcotics and begin withdrawal symptoms in an addicted person
magnesium. Answer: increases potency of muscle relaxants
physostigmine. Answer: increase acetylcholine at the neuromuscular
junction, can counter emergence delirium, can cause bradycardia,
bronchospasm, nausea, salivation, and incoordination
, flumazenil. Answer: reverses drowsiness, sedation, respiratory
depression from benzo's, adverse reactions: resedation with reoccurance
of respiratory depression, rapid onset, peaks in 5 min
-onium or -urium. Answer: non-depolarizing muscle relaxant
metoclopramide. Answer: reglan, increases gastric motility, blocks
dopamine receptors to decrease emesis
reassess epidural morphine. Answer: 6-8 hours after bolus dose, can
persist up to 12 hours
vecuronium. Answer: non-depolarizing muscle relaxant,
intermediate acting, onset of 3-5 min, duration of 20-35 min
anesthetics. Answer: cannot be used in conscious sedation
acetylcholine. Answer: A neurotransmitter that triggers muscle
contraction, primary neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous
system
volatile anesthetic. Answer: inhaled anesthetic
