- Muscarinic agonist
- Nicotinic antagonist
- Muscarinic antagonist (correct)

- Give liquids with meals
- Sit in an upright position (correct)
- Feed the client
- Eat solid food

Flashcards
What type of drug is used to reduce bronchospasm in patients with COPD?
What type of drug is used to reduce bronchospasm in patients with COPD?
Drugs that block the action of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors. They are used to reduce bronchospasm in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
What intervention would help a patient with Parkinsonism to improve nutrition?
What intervention would help a patient with Parkinsonism to improve nutrition?
Parkinsonism is a condition characterized by tremors, rigidity, and slow movements. Sitting in an upright position helps improve swallowing by gravity aiding the movement of food down the esophagus.
What symptom of hypoglycemia should a patient with diabetes be aware of?
What symptom of hypoglycemia should a patient with diabetes be aware of?
Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar. Signs and symptoms include palpitations, weakness, and hunger. Palpitations and weakness are specifically due to the body's attempt to compensate for the low blood sugar levels.

Study Notes
Bronchoscopy Pre-medication
- Bronchoscopy requires pre-medication to manage potential anti-cholinergic responses
- The correct pre-medication is a muscarinic antagonist
- Option A (Muscarinic agonist) is incorrect
- Option C (Nicotinic agonist) and option D (Nicotinic antagonist) are also incorrect
Parkinsonism Nutrition & Swallowing
- Crucial interventions for Parkinson's patients include strategies to improve nutrition and enhance swallowing
- Sitting upright while eating is essential
- Encouraging the patient to eat solid foods is vital, rather than feeding them passively
- Giving liquids with meals is an encouragement technique to promote swallowing and aid in digestion, not a means to make the patient eat.
Diabetes Mellitus Discharge Instructions - Hypoglycemia
- Patients with Diabetes Mellitus must be educated on recognizing hypoglycemia symptoms
- Signs like palpitations and weakness should be taught as key indicators
- Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they are not typical symptoms of hypoglycemia
Drug Enforcement Agency
- Drug enforcement is managed by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration)
- The PDEA (Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency) and DOH (Department of Health) are possible incorrect answers or not directly applicable for drug controls.
- The DDB is likely not related to drug regulation.
Pharmacotherapeutics Basis
- Pharmacotherapeutics relies on how drugs affect the body and its mechanisms in disease treatment
- Understanding selective drug action, bioavailability, biotransformation, and half-life is crucial for pharmacotherapeutics.
- All the choices are related to the basis of pharmacotherapeutics.
Drug Classification - Analgesic/Antipyretic
- "Analgesic, antipyretic" describes a pharmacologic class of drugs.
- It specifies the drug's dual function (pain relief and fever reduction)
Medical Information Source (MIMS)
- MIMS stands for Medical Information of Medicinal Sources
Drug Types - Supplements
- Drugs can be classified as supplements to address bodily deficiencies
- The correct option, which addresses the need to provide what is lacking, is supplements
Sedatives & Hypnotics Mechanism
- Sedatives and hypnotics are classified as central nervous system depressants
- Their use reduces activity and promotes relaxation & sleep.
- Options B (supplements), and A (irritants) are incorrect and do not characterize their mechanism.
