Adre/Cholinergic PCC
Pharmacology Adrenergic/Cholinergic
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: |

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 |
