Question
Answer
Effects of parasympathomimetics on specific organs   Constricts pupils, bronchioles, and bladder. Increases secretions, peristalsis, and salivation. decreases heart rate. Dilates blood vessels.  
🗑
Specific effects of Cholinergic Agonists for all organs   Stimulate bladder and GI tone, constrict pupils, increase neuromuscular transmission, decreased heart rate and blood pressure, increased salivary, GI, and bronchial glandular secretions.  
🗑
Cholinergic Agonist: Bethanecol-Urecholine(administration)   Acts on the muscarinic receptor and is used primarily to increase urination (increase urine output). It is poorly absorbed by the GI tract. Client voids 30-90 min after administration. Should be taken on an empty stomach. SubQ or PO.  
🗑
Cholinergic Agonist: Bethanecol-Urecholine (Side effects)   hypotension, bradycardia, blurred vision, excessive salivation, increased gastric acid secretion, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, nausea, vomitting, sweating, flushing, frequent urination, miosis.  
🗑
Cholinergic Agonist: Bethanecol-Urecholine (adverse effects)   orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia, muscle weakness, acute asthmatic attack, heart block, circulatory collapse, cardiac arrest  
🗑
Cholinergic Agonist: Bethanecol-Urecholine (Contraindications/Interactions)   GI/GU obstruction, bradycardia, hypotension, COPD, asthma, peptic ulcer, parkinsonism, antidysrhythmics  
🗑
Anticholinergics: Atropine (uses)   preoperative to reduce salivation, increase heart rate, dilate pupils, as an antispasmodic drug to treat peptic ulcers  
🗑
Patient teaching with anticholinergics   Avoid hot temps,physical exertion,don't use in pts w/ glaucoma,drowsiness is common,avoid etoh,smoking,caffeine,aspirin,use sunglasses for photophobia,dry mouth,<urination,constipation,>fluids,urinate before taking, >oral hygeine, eyedrops=moisten, >fiber  
🗑
Contraindications with anticholinergics   narrow-angle glaucoma, obstructive GI disorders, paralytic ileus, ulcerative colitis, tachycardia, BPH, myasthenia gravis, myocardial ischemia, Renal/hepatic disorders, COPD, heart failure  
🗑
Adrenergic Agonists/Antagonists: Epinephrine (administration)   SubQ, IV, topical, inhalation No PO. Used in emergency to treat anaphylaxis.  
🗑
Adrenergic Agonists/Antagonists: Epinephrine (Pharmacodynamics)   SubQ onset 3-5 min, peak 20 min, duration 1-4 hrs., IV onset immediate, peak 2-5 min, duration 5-10 min, inhal onset 1 min, peak 3-5 min, duration 1-3 hours. increase CO, vasoconstriction, BP, HR, bronchodilation, renal vasoconstriction, decreasing output  
🗑
Adrenergic Agonists/Antagonists: Epinephrine (Indications)   to treat allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, asthma, bronchospasm, severe hypotension, cardiac arrest  
🗑
Adrenergic Agonists/Antagonists: Epinephrine (nursing interventions)   Monitor BP,P,UO.Report tachycardia,palpitations,tremors,dizziness, HTN.Monitor IV infiltration.Antidote:phentolamine mesylate (Regitine)Avoid cold medicines & diet pills if HTN,DM,CAD,or dysrhythmic,when breastfeeding,continuous use of nasal sprays.  
🗑
Adrenergic Agonists/Antagonists: Alpha adrenergic blocker expected response   Vasodilation, dec. BP, reflex tachycardia, miosis, suppresses ejaculation, reduces smooth muscle contraction in bladder neck and prostate gland.  
🗑
Adrenergic Agonists/Antagonists: Nonselective beta adrenergic blocker expected response   decreases HR, reduces force of contractions, constricts bronchioles, contracts uterus, inhibits glycogenolysis (decrease BS)  
🗑
Adrenergic Agonists/Antagonists: General sympathetic responses, specific effects for all organs   dilate pupils, bronchioles,increase HR, constrict blood vessels, relax GI, bladder, and uterus  
🗑
Adrenergic Agonists/Antagonists:Patient teaching for adrenergic beta blockers   decrease HR & BP.Should be used with extreme caution with COPD or asthma.Side effects:bradycardia,hypotension,HA,dizziness, cold extremities, hypoglycemia,bronchospasm,dysrhythmias,flushing,weakness,impotence,dec. libido,depression,pulmonary edema  
🗑
Adrenergic agonists/Antagonists: Lopressor – side effects and adverse reactions   fatigue, weakness, dizziness, n/v, diarrhea, mental changes, nasal stuffiness, impotence, decreased libido, depression, bradycardia, thrombocytopenia, complete heart block, bronchospasm, agranulocytosis  
🗑
Adrenergic agonists/Antagonists: Adrenergic Receptor functions   Alpha1: the arterioles & venules contrict,increasing peripheral resistance & blood return to the heart. Alpha2: increases norepinephrine resulting in vasodilation and decrease BP.Beta1: increases myocardial contractility and HR. Beta2:  
🗑
Know different names for same category: anticholinergics   cholinergic or muscarinic antagonists, antiparasympathetic agents, antimuscarinic agents, antispasmodics  
🗑
Know different names for same category: adrenergic agonists   adrenergics, sympathomimetics, adrenomimetics  
🗑
Know different names for same category: Adrenergic Blockers   adrenergic antagonists, sympatholytics  
🗑
Know different names for same category: Cholinergic agonists   parasympathomimetics, cholinomimetics, cholinergic stimulants, cholinergic agonists  
🗑
Cholinergic agonists: Cholinergic overdose antidote   IV atropine sulfate (0.6-1.2 mg) early signs of overdose include flushing, salivation, sweating, nausea, and abd. cramps  
🗑
Adrenergic Agents: Drug selectivity – selective and nonselective   Selective: blocks alpha1/beta1 Nonselective: blocks alpha1 and alpha2/beta1 and beta2  
🗑
