Understand the Problem
The questions are asking about pharmacology, particularly focusing on drugs used in medical treatment, their effects, and classifications related to hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions.
Answer
Therapeutics; All of the above; Beta blockers; Xerostomia; Enalapril.
The term for the use of drugs to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease or to prevent pregnancy is Therapeutics. Abrupt withdrawal of a beta blocker may induce Angina, Myocardial infarction, or Sudden death (D. All the above). Beta blockers are good for a patient with concomitant angina pectoris. Xerostomia is not an adverse effect of alpha blockers. Enalapril is not an angiotensin II receptor blocker.
Answer for screen readers
The term for the use of drugs to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease or to prevent pregnancy is Therapeutics. Abrupt withdrawal of a beta blocker may induce Angina, Myocardial infarction, or Sudden death (D. All the above). Beta blockers are good for a patient with concomitant angina pectoris. Xerostomia is not an adverse effect of alpha blockers. Enalapril is not an angiotensin II receptor blocker.
More Information
Therapeutics covers a broad area including drugs for treatment and diagnosis. Beta blockers should not be abruptly stopped to avoid serious cardiovascular events. They are effective in managing patients with hypertension and angina. Angiotensin receptor blockers do not include Enalapril as it is an ACE inhibitor.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing ACE inhibitors with ARBs. Remember that Enalapril is an ACE inhibitor, not an ARB. Also, avoid stopping beta blockers abruptly to prevent adverse events.
