Cholinergic Drugs Affecting Autonomic Nervous System

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Prepares the body for stressful or energetic activity; "flight of fight"   Sympathetic Division  
🗑
Dominates during times of rest and digestion   Parasympathetic Division  
🗑
The parasympathetic division activates?   Cholinergic receptors  
🗑
The sympathetic division activates?   Adrenergic receptors  
🗑
Cholinergic receptors activate?   Muscarinic  
🗑
Somatic nervous system controls?   Voluntary control over skeletal muscles  
🗑
Autonomic nervous system controls?   Involuntary control over smooth and cardiac muscle and glands  
🗑
The sympathetic division secretes____ from____ through_____?   Epinephrine & Norepinephrine  
🗑
Direct acting cholinergic drugs bind:   To cholinergic receptors to produce the rest-and-digest response  
🗑
Indirect acting cholinergic drugs:   Inhibit the action of AchE & have a high potential for serious adverse effects  
🗑
Prototype drug: bethanechol (Urecholine) mechanism of action?   To activate the parasympathetic nervous system directly/indirectly, induce rest/digest response  
🗑
bethanechol (Urecholine) is used for?   Glaucoma, urinary retention, myasthenia gravis, Alzheimer's disease  
🗑
Adverse effects of bethanechol?   Profuse salivation, sweating, increased muscle tone, urinary frequency, bradycardia  
🗑
What is physostigmine (Antilirium) used for?   Treatment of severe anticholinergic toxicity  
🗑
What is the mechanism of action for physostigmine (Antilirium)?   To reverse toxic & life threatening delirium caused by atropine, diphenhydramine, dimenhydrinate, Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade) or jasmine weed.  
🗑
Adverse effects of physostigmine (Antilirium)?   Unfavorable effects of physostigmine are bradycardia, asystole, restlessness, nervousness, seizures, salivations, urinary frequency, muscle twitching and respiratory paralysis  
🗑
What should be monitored when taking a Direct acting cholinergic drugs ?   Monitor for intake and output ratio, blurred vision, orthostatic hypotension  
🗑
What should be monitored when taking Cholinesterase Inhibitors?   Monitor muscle strength and neuromuscular status, ptosis, diplopia, and chewing, muscle weakness, Schedule medication around mealtimes, activities to avoid fatigue  
🗑
Cholinergic-Blocking Drugs..   Inhibit parasympathetic impulses & Suppression of parasympathetic division induces fight-or-flight symptoms  
🗑
Cholinergic-Blocking Drugs uses are?   Predictable extension of parasympathetic-blocking effects  
🗑
The effects of cholinergic-Blocking Drugs include?   Pupil dilation (mydriasis),increasing heart rate,Drying glandular secretions, Relaxing bronchi (asthma)  
🗑
What are some uses of Cholinergic-Blocking Drugs?   Peptic ulcer disease, Ophthalmic procedures, Heart rhythm abnormalities, Anesthesia adjunct, Asthma and COPD, Overactive bladder, Parkinson’s disease. Dilates and reduces secretions. Is patient voiding hourly?  
🗑
Prototype drug: atropine (Atropair, Atropisol) Mechanism of action:   To inhibit the parasympathetic nervous system  
🗑
The primary use of atropine include?   Peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, mydriasis and cycloplegia during eye examination, bradycardia, preanesthetic, asthma  
🗑
What are the adverse effects of atropine?   Tachycardia, CNS stimulation, dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, dry eyes, decreased sweating, photophobia  
🗑
What to watch for in Anticholinergics?   Monitor for adverse effects, liver enzymes, Calculate and monitor doses, Assess and monitor for appropriate self-care administration  
🗑
What should be monitored with Anticholinergics?   Monitor intake and output, Monitor patient for abdominal distention, and auscultate for bowel sounds  
🗑
What assessment should be considered with drugs Affecting the Autonomic Nervous System?   Reason for drug  
🗑
Cautions and contraindications for drugs Affecting the Autonomic Nervous System?   Allergies, Drug history, Assess for therapeutic effect , Watch for adverse effects. Watch for patients with overactive bladder  
🗑
