Q

True/False: A patient is administered a drug that stimulates nicotinic neuronal receptors. The drug will decrease SVR by directly stimulating α1 receptors

A

FALSE- α1 receptors are not nicotinic receptors

17
Q

True/False: A patient is administered a drug that stimulates nicotinic neuronal receptors. The drug will cause spastic skeletal muscle paralysis

A

FALSE- nicotinic(muscle) stimulation will cause twitching

18
Q

True/False: Epinephrine is a positive chronotrope

A

TRUE

19
Q

A

TRUE

20
Q

True/False: Epinephrine is a positive inotrope

A

TRUE

21
Q

True/False: Epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor due to its α1 effect

A

TRUE

22
Q

True/False: Epinephrine is a vasodilator due to its β2 effect

A

TRUE

23
Q

True/False: Epinephrine is a bronchodilator due to its β2 effect

A

TRUE

24
Q

True/False: Atropine relaxes skeletal muscle because it is a cholinergic receptor antagonist

A

FALSE- ?

25
Q

True/False: Atropine is a positive chronotrope because it is an antimuscarinic drug

A

TRUE

26
Q

True/False: Atropine decreases bronchial mucous secretion by blocking Nn receptors

A

FALSE- ?

27
Q

True/False: Atropine is a bronchodilator

A

TRUE

28
Q

True/False: Labetalol causes reflex tachycardia

A

FALSE-Reflex tachycardia is β1-mediated so labetalol blocks the reflex

29
Q

True/False: Labetalol is a vasodilator

A

TRUE

30
Q

A

TRUE

31
Q

True/False: Labetalol lowers BP by reducing CO

A

TRUE

32
Q

True/False: Metoprolol lowers BP by reducing SVR

A

A

TRUE

34
Q

True/False: Metoprolol targets the same receptors as dobutamine

A

TRUE

35
Q

True/False: Metoprolol causes reflex bradycardia

A

FALSE-Reflex tachycardia is β1-mediated so metoprolol blocks the reflex

36
Q

True/False: Phenylephrine causes reflex bradycardia because it reduces BP

A
