Beta 2 adrenergic agonist prototype
Ans: albuterol
Beta2- Adrenergic agonist therapeutic response
Ans: promotes bronchodilation and relieves
bronchospasms
valuable in treating asthma
Beta2-Adrenergic agonist Side effects
Ans: -tachycardia
-heart plapations
-tremors
-angina ( in patients with cardiac blood vessels
already compromised by vascular disease. Patients
who experience vasospasm of the cardiac vessels in
response to the drug)
how should Beta2-adrenergic agonists be taken when the
patient is also taking glucocorticoids?
Ans: Take the Beta 2- adrenergic agonists first then
the glucocorticoid
second drug is then able to travel further into the
lungs from the first drug affect's of opening up the
lungs

Cautions with Beta2- Adrenergic agonist
Ans: -diabetes mellitus
-hyperthyroidism
-CVD
-HTN
-Angina pectoris
(use caution with these diseases-monitor pt closely)
-avoid caffeine
-notify HCP if tremors interfere with ADLs
-can have hyperglycemic effects
-watch for signs of exTOOLS
acerbations (keep a log of frequency and intensity
and any changes in ability to breathe- can help HCP
decide treatment plan and point out things to stay
away from or things that should accommodate the
patient's condition)
Contraindications with Beta2-Adrenergic Agonists
Ans: -allergies
-tachydysrythmia
-tachycardia due to digitalis toxicity (when levels of a
drug build up in the body)

Inhailed Anticholinergics work by
Ans: blocking muscarinic (parasympatheitic or rest
and digest) receptors in bronchi (activated by
acetylcholine- bronchoconstriction)
when you block the muscarinic receptors, the result
is bronchodilation
Side effects of Inhailed Anticholinergics
Ans: secondary to decreased stimulation of the
parasympathetic nervous system
dry mouth
hoarsness
increased intraocular pressure (contradiction in pts
with glaucoma)
urinary retention
Inhailed Anticholinergics Precautions
Ans: -glaucoma
-prostatic hypertrophy
-bladder neck obstruction
