Medical Guidelines: Bronchoscopy & Nutrition

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.
