what does Beta-1 act on?

what is the heart

100

does pilocarpine increase or decrease eye pressure?

what is decrease

100

What should you assess before giving an ANS medication?

What is blood pressure, pulse, respiratory status, history, and current medications

100

what should you do if, after administering medication, the patient has worsening or severe symptoms that are an unexpected response?

what is escalate promptly

100

which medication is used to treat glaucoma?

what is pilocarpine

200

Stimulation of these receptors causes vasoconstriction, increased peripheral resistance, and increased blood pressure.

what is Alpha-1 andrenergic receptors

200

what medication stimulates muscarinic receptors and is used to treat glaucoma?

what is pilocarpine

200

what does your plan define?

what is therapeutic response

200

what might indicate changes to airway or breathing?

what is new wheeze, severe dyspnea, facial and tongue swelling

200

which medication blocks musacarinic receptors?

what is atropine

300

Stimulation of these receptors decreases norepinephrine release, reducing sympathetic activity and blood pressure.

what is Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors. 

300

what happens to saliva when muscarinic receptors are stimulated?

what is saliva production increases

300

before implementing, what should you verify?


what is order, allergies, route, timing, contraindications, and parameters

300

what adverse neurological changes might you see after administration?


what is confusion, or reduced LOC

300

which medication is a beta-2 agonist used for an acute asthma attack?

what is salbutamol

400

stimulation of these receptors increases heart rate, cardiac contractility and cardiac output

what are Beta-1 andrenergic receptors

400

stimulation of these receptors produces parasympathetic

what are muscarinic cholinergic receptors

400

what is the purpose of evaluation after giving an ANS medication?

what is to assess affect and adverse reactions; compare to baseline

400

what adverse circulation changes might you see?

what is syncope, symptomatic bradycardia, severe hypotension, chest pain, or dysrhythmia

400

which medication stimulates alpha-1 receptors to relieve nasal congestion?

what is phenylephedrine

500

stimulation of these receptors causes bronchodilation, relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways and improving airflow

what are Beta-2 adrenergic receptors.

500

what neurotransmitters do cholinergic receptors respond to?

what is acetylcholine

500

what does patient education include?

what is explaining the purpose, common effects, serious warning signs, and when to seek help.

500

what are indications of anticholinergic toxicity?

what is hot/dry skin, marked tachycardia, urinary retention and confusion

500

which medication stimulates beta-1 receptors to increase cardiac contractility?

what is dobutamine
