You respond to the aid of a 19-year-old patient who is reported to have taken an overdose of a prescribed medication. She exhibits combativeness and severe tremors. Her blood pressure is 160/100, and her pulse is 132. Sinus tachycardia appears on her EKG. Which of the following classification of drugs is most likely to cause these symptoms?
Opiates
Barbituates
Benzodiazepines
Amphetamines
If a patient were exhibiting pupilary constriction, hypersalivation, bronchial wheezing, and bradycardia, which division of the autonomic nervous system should you suspect is affected?
Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system
Blockade of the voluntary nervous system
Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system
Blockade of the cholinergic nervous system
A drug that blocks the muscarinic receptors in the peripheral nervous system would be classified as a:
parasympatholytic
sympathomimetic
parasympathomimetic
sympatholytic
Which of the following is NOT associated with sympathetic nervous system?
Fight or flight
Thoracolumbar
Adrenergic
Vagus nerve
Sympathetic nervous system stimulation that results in vasoconstriction and some bronchoconstriction is most likely affecting:
beta 1 receptor sites
alpha 1 receptor sites
alpha 2 receptor sites
beta 2 receptor sites
Medications best suited for treating bronchoconstriction generally stimulate:
alpha 1 receptor sites
beta 1 receptor sites
beta 2 receptor sites
alpha 2 receptor sites
Propanalol (Inderal) typically causes which of the following effects?
Broncodilation
Positive dromotropic
Positive chronotropic
Negative chronotropic
Which of the following is not a common side effect of a loop diuretic?
Orthostatic hypotension
Reflex tachycardia
Hypernatremia
Hypokalemia
Which of the following agents would NOT reduce blood pressure?
beta 1 antagonist
alpha 1 antagonist
alpha 2 agonist
beta 2 antagonist
In a patient experiencing a myocardial infarction, administering a medication that reduces afterload is beneficial because it:
reduces the workload of the heart, reducing myocardial oxygen consumption.
improves the stroke volume of blood ejected from the heart by also reducing preload.
reduces the blood flow to unnecessary areas, re-directing blood to the heart.
prolongs the Q-T interval, thereby allowing time for complete atrial contribution to the ventricles.
Digoxin is prescribed to patients with congestive heart failure primarily to:
control rapid ventricular rates, because many of these patients also have atrial fibrillation.
achieve a negative chronotropic effect and thereby reduce the myocardial workload.
improve blood flow to the lungs, thereby reducing pulmonary edema.
improve myocardial contractility and cardiac output.
When administering glucagon to a patient, it is important to remember that:
it is only effective in patients with elevated blood glucose levels.
glycogen stores must be available in the liver and muscle for glucagon to be effective.
glucagon will stimulate glycogenesis in a hypoglycemic patient.
glucagon can only be administered intravenously.
When treating patients with suspected hypoglycemia, which of the following should be of greatest concern?
Infiltration of the IV during administration of 50% dextrose in water
Ensuring that a blood glucose specimen is obtained before initiating any hypoglycemic therapies in an unconscious patient
The administration of oxygen before any other therapies
Confirming that the patients have histories of diabetes before continuing treatment
A beta 2 specific agonist causes which of the following physiologic responses?
Increased heart rate
Decreased heart rate
Bronchoconstriction
Bronchodilation
According to Frank-Starling's Law, the administration of nitroglycerin will result in:
increased preload, increased stroke volume, and decreased myocardial oxygen demand.
decreased preload, decreased stroke volume, and increased myocardial oxygen demand.
decreased preload, increased stroke volume, and decreased myocardial oxygen demand.
decreased preload, decreased stroke volume, and decreased myocardial oxygen demand.
Which of the following is a medication that is produced by recombinant DNA technology and promotes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin to dissolve blood clots?
tPA
Vitamin K
Heparin
Coumadin
Which of the following is most likely to affect elimination of a medication?
Metabolic alkalosis
Hemorrhage
Burns on more than 30 percent of the body surface area
Renal disease
While caring for a 60-year-old male with a suspected femur fracture, your partner accidentally administers the full vial of morphine sulfate (15 mg) when only 4 mg was ordered. What adverse effects are likely to occur in this patient?
Hypotension and tachypnea
Sedation and hypertension
Widened QRS and respiratory depression
Hypotension and respiratory depression
You are caring for a 48-year-old patient with acute onset pulmonary edema secondary to an acute myocardial infarction. He has crackles in both lung fields and wheezes in the bronchial regions. His blood pressure is 160/90, his pulse is 112, and his respirations are 32. Which of the following medications is indicated first and why?
Nitroglycerin (Nitrostat) to vasodilate the coronary vessels to maximize myocardial oxygen supply
Furosemide (Lasix) to achieve a diuresis and remove a portion of fluids from the intravascular space
Morphine sulfate to decrease anxiety and reduce afterload
Nitroglycerine (Nitrostat) to reduce preload and afterload to redistribute fluids to the periphery
Which of the following is an advantage of sublingual drug administration?
Slow rate of drug absorption
Rapid absorption due to sublingual vasculature
Rapid dissolution of tablets so that the medication can be swallowed
Uniform absorption through the conjunctival mucosa
Which of the following is a parenteral route of drug administration?
Gastric tube
Rectal
Oral
Intramuscular
