Which cholinergic agent would be used to treat non-obstructive urinary retention?

Labetolol
Atropine
Bethanachol
Dopamine
None of the above

Correct Answer

A. Bethanachol

Explanation

BETHANECHOL. INDICATIONS: acute postoperative or postpartum non-obstructive urinary retention; neurogenic atony of the bladder with retention. ACTION: Acts directly on cholinergic receptors tomimic the effects of acetylcholine; increases tone of detrusor muscles and causes emptying of the bladder. Is given ORALLY. ADVERSE EFFECTS: Abdominal discomfort, salivation, nausea, vomiting, sweating, and flushing. ASSESSMENT would include bradycardia, vasomotor instability, peptic ulcer, obstructive urinary or GI diseases, asthma, parkinsonism or epilepsy. BASELINE ASSESSMENT includes skin colour, lesions, temperature; pulse, blood pressure, ECG; respirations, adventitious sounds; and urine output and bladder tone

Atropine
Labetolol
Naloxone
Mupricin
Dopamine

Correct Answer

A. Atropine

Is use to correct hemoynamic imbalances present in shock
Adverse effects include tachycardia, anginal pain, hypotension, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, headache.
Is an arenergic antagonist that is given IV
Baseline assessment includes skin colour, skin temperature, pulse, blood pressure, ECG, respirations, aventitous sounds, urine output, and electrolytes
Prior to giving drug assesss for pheochromocytoma, tachyarrythmias, ventircular fibrillation, hypovolemia

Correct Answer

A. Is an arenergic antagonist that is given IV

Which of the following is true about labetalol?

Treats hypotention either by PO or IV
Completely blocks cholergenic receptor sites leaing to an increase in BP
Assessment shoul beware of DM, shock, CHF, asthma, and bronchospasms
Baseline should include EEG, cardiac input, respiratory rate, and skin colour and temperature
None of the above

Correct Answer

A. Assessment shoul beware of DM, shock, CHF, asthma, and bronchospasms

Explanation

INDICATIONS: hypertention. ACTIONS: competitively blocks alpha- an beta- receptor sites in the SNS leading to LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE. PHARMACOKINETICS: given by PO or IV. ADVERSE EFFECTS: Dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, gastric pain, flatulence, bronchospasm, dypnea, cough, and decrease exercise tolerance. ASSESSMENT should include allergies, bradycaria, heart blocks, shock, CHF, asthma, or DM. BASELINE should include skin colour, temperature, pulse, BP, cardiac output, ECG, respiration, aventitious sounds, and blood glucose levels and electrolytes (p. 493).

Which of the following is false about atropine?

It can be a poison
Assessment includes glaucoma, stenosing peptic ulcer, intestinal atony, paralytic ileus, GI obstruction, toxic megacolon; cardiac arrhythmias, tachycardia
Baseline includes skin colour, lesions, temperature; affect, orientation, reflexes, pupil response; pulse, BP, ECG; respirations, adventidious sounds, urine output, and BS
Is found in many natural products
None of the above

Correct Answer

A. None of the above

Explanation

Atropine is a medication that can be toxic in high doses, making the statement "It can be a poison" true. The assessment for atropine includes various conditions such as glaucoma, stenosing peptic ulcer, intestinal atony, paralytic ileus, GI obstruction, toxic megacolon; cardiac arrhythmias, tachycardia, making the statement true. The baseline for atropine includes evaluating skin color, lesions, temperature; affect, orientation, reflexes, pupil response; pulse, BP, ECG; respirations, adventitious sounds, urine output, and BS, making the statement true. Atropine is found in many natural products, making the statement true. Therefore, none of the statements about atropine are false.
