& ANSWERS (100% VERIFIED SOLUTIONS)

Effect of alpha 1 receptor on the body - CORRECT ANSWER -arterioles/veins: constriction
glands: decreased secretion
eye: constriction of radial muscle
intestine: decreased mobility
Alpha 1 receptor antagonized - CORRECT ANSWER -they will dilate the smooth muscle,
increase secretions, dilate pupil, increase intestinal motility
Effect of alpha 2 receptor on the body - CORRECT ANSWER -CNS postsynaptic: decrease
sympathetic outflow from the brain
CNS presynaptic: decrease norepinephrine release
Beta islet cells of the pancreas: decreased secretion.
Alpha 2 when agonized - CORRECT ANSWER -will decrease BP by decreasing the outflow of
norepinephrine or increase islet cell secretion
Effect of alpha non-specific receptor on the body - CORRECT ANSWER -Urinary bladder
sphincter: contraction (urinary retention)
Pregnant uterus: contraction
Penis: ejaculation
Effect of beta 1 receptor on the body - CORRECT ANSWER -Heart: increased heart rate,
increased contractility, increased conduction velocity, and increased automaticity
, Kidney: increases renin secretion
Beta 1 receptor antagonized - CORRECT ANSWER -they will not contract as hard, decrease BP
by decreasing the contraction force or by decreasing renin secretion
Beta 2 receptor effect on the body - CORRECT ANSWER -Trachea & bronchioles: relaxation
Regnant/nonpregnant uterus: relaxation
Arterioles (except in skin/brain) & veins: dilation
Beta 2 receptor antagonized - CORRECT ANSWER -will constrict
Beta 2 receptor agonized - CORRECT ANSWER -it will relax (good for COPD or BP/HR)
Effect of beta non-specific receptor on the body - CORRECT ANSWER -Eye: relaxation of the
ciliary muscle (minimal)
Urinary bladder: relaxation of detrusor muscle (minimal)
What factors are associated with clinical judgment when prescribing medications? - CORRECT
ANSWER -clinical judgment based on assessment, medical and nursing diagnosis, potential
therapies, knowledge about the drug, and disease process.
What is patient-centered care? - CORRECT ANSWER -the best therapy is the least invasive,
least expensive, and the least likely to cause adverse reactions.
What are the criteria for choosing an effective drug? - CORRECT ANSWER -Consult nationally
recognized guidelines for disease management to determine the most effective drug.
How does hypoalbuminemia affect the process of prescribing? - CORRECT ANSWER -Many
drugs that carry an electric charge are bound to albumin in the blood. The distribution of the drug
target tissues may be affected if hypoalbuminemia is present. Most drugs are carried thru the
