    IV. propranolol



    C. I and II
  15. You are treating a patient for bronchospasm. Albuterol (an adrenergic bronchodilator) is the only aerosolized agent being administered at this time. What other type of aerosolized drug might you recomment?



    A. an anticholinergic bronchodilator
  16. You are treating an asthmatic who also happens to be taking propranolol (a beta blocker) for a history of cardiac arrhythmias. What effect would you expect albuterol to have on this patient?



    C. little or no effect
  17. In the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system, what name is given to the neurotransmitter that conducts nerve transmission at the ganglionic site?



    B. acetylcholine
  18. A parasympathetic effect is generally the same as a(n):

    anticholinergic
  29. A drug stimulating a receptor for norepinephrine or epinephrine:
    adrenergic

    T
  31. T/F
    The pulmonary circulation is innervated by both parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves.
    T
  32. T/F
    There is evidence of a branch of nerves that are neither parasympathetic nor sympathetic and can cause relaxation of airway smooth muscle.
    T
  33. T/F
    Muscarinic receptors are found in skeletal muscle.
    F
  34. T/F
    Nicotine is capable of stimulating both sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic cholinergic receptors.
