Lower Respiratory Tract
This is the drug of choice for acute bronchospasms
Epinephrine
The nurse will ensure the patient lays in this position following spinal anesthesia
Supine
A lack of this neurotransmitter can cause muscle weakness
Acetylcholine
This is the antidote for heparin
Protamine Sulfate
This is the appropriate time to use your albuterol inhaler before exercise (if the patient is diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma)
30- 60 minutes
This is the normal serum levels for Theophylline
10-20 mcg/ml
This medication rapidly passes into the capillary system and is not metabolized
Nitrous Oxide
Narrow-Angle Glaucoma is a contraindication for this depolarizing NMJ Blocker
Succinylcholine
This lab value helps to determine therapeutic levels of Warfarin and therapeutic levels are between 2.0-3.0
INR
This is the antidote for warfarin
Vitamin K
This substance increases the metabolism of xanthines (Theophylline) in the liver.
Sunstances in cigarettes (Nicotine)
This drug is an amide and is broken down more slowly in the liver
Lidocaine
When this drug class is used concurrently with neuromuscular junction blockers, the patient is at increased risk of prolonged paralysis.
Calcium Channel Blockers
This is used to inhibit platelet aggregation, decreasing the formation of clots in narrowed or injured blood vessels like those found in peripheral artery disease
Clopidogrel
This is the route of administrations for lung surfactants (beractant)
Intratracheal
Aspirin, Theophylline, Phenytoin, and Warfarin are contraindicated for which drug class?
Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists (Montelukast)
This medication is widely used for diagnostic tests and short procedures in children older than 3 years of age because of its rapid onset and metabolism and generally smooth recovery.
Propofol
This drug class work by occupying the muscular cholinergic receptor sites and does not allow stimulation to occur
NONdepolarizing NMJ Blockers
This medication causes a decrease in the production of vitamin K–dependent clotting factors in the liver
Warfarin
Hemorrhagic Stroke
Central nervous system stimulation, gastrointestinal upset, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, angina, sweating, pallor, tachycardia and flushing are all adverse effects of this drug class
Sympathomimetics (albuterol; epinephrine)
These are the 4 stages of Anesthesia and their actions
1. Analgesia Stage- Loss of pain sensation
2. Excitement Stage- Combative, SNS stimulation
3. Surgical Stage- Relaxation of skeletal muscles, pupil dilations, loss of eye reflexes
4. Medullary Paralysis- Loss of respiratory and vasomotor center stimuli
This agent can overcome excessive neuromuscular blockade caused by nondepolarizing NMJ blockers, thus reversing NMJ Blockers
Neostigmine (Cholinesterase Inhibitor)
A nurse would expect to give drugs to control bleeding to clients with liver disease as well as this medical condition
Hemophilia
This medication is associated with back and muscle pain, related to the initial muscle contraction reaction
Succinylcholine
