NUR240 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Acetyl-Coa, Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor, Autonomic Nervous System
Document Summary
Inhibition of the parasympathetic ns: cholinergic-blocking drugs or: cholinergic drugs (parasympathomimetic) anticholinergics, mimic actions of the parasympathetic nervous system. Inhibit action of ache: high potential for serious adverse effects, nonselective cholinesterase inhibitors and affect all ach sites. Asthma, epilepsy, (urecholine): parasympathetic ns urinary sweating, increased parkinsonism, Direct acting directly/indirectly, retention, muscle tone, urinary hyperthyroidism, induce rest/digest myasthenia frequency, peptic ulcer disease, bradycardia response. Asthma, epilepsy, (antilirium) of ach by ache and life- asystole, diabetes, Implementation: administration of drug, observe for adverse effects, patient education/discharge planning, providing additional info as needed to encourage compliance, doing home-health visits: evaluation: effectiveness of drug therapy, confirm that patient goals/expected outcomes have been met. Review questions: the nurse is preparing a plan of care for a patient with myasthenia gravis. In all sympathetic target organs except heart: response-constriction of blood vessels and dilation of pupils, treatment of nasal congestion or hypotension, alpha2-adrenergic receptors, at presynaptic adrenergic neuron terminals.
