Which pharmacologic action is most critical for reversing bronchospasm? * M3‑mediated smooth‑muscle contraction β1‑mediated cardiac stimulation α1‑mediated vasoconstriction β2‑mediated bronchodilation α2‑mediated central sedation 3 Which sympathomimetic has the longest duration of action among the following? * Isoxsuprine Fenoterol Pseudoephedrine Epinephrine Salbutamol 4 Which receptor is targeted by the drug prazosin for treatment of hypertension? * β2 α2 β1 α1 M1 5 Which sympathomimetic drug can be used to treat hypotension in a septic shock scenario? * Nitroprusside Norepinephrine Clonidine Dobutamine Metoprolol 6 A patient develops tremor after starting a new medication for nasal congestion. Which drug class is most likely responsible? * α2‑agonists β2‑agonists Vasodilators β1‑blockers Anticholinergics 7 Which of the following is a major safety concern when administering high‑dose β2‑agonists in patients with cardiac disease? * Hypoglycemia Hyperkalemia Hypotension Bradycardia Arrhythmias 8 Which sympathomimetic is most appropriate for treating a severe asthma attack when albuterol inhaler is ineffective? * Pseudoephedrine Ipratropium and epinephrine combination Ipratropium bromide Ipratropium and isoproterenol combination Diphenhydramine 9 Albuterol is most commonly prescribed for which clinical condition? * Hypertension Myocardial infarction Bradycardia Diabetes mellitus Asthma 10 Which receptor subtype is primarily responsible for vasoconstriction when stimulated by phenylephrine? * M3 α1 β2 β1 α2 11 Which sympathomimetic is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension due to its potent vasoconstrictive effect? * Phenylephrine Clonidine Propranolol Diltiazem Metoprolol 12 Which of the following is a common adverse effect of β2‑agonists used for asthma? * Bradycardia Myocardial infarction Hyperglycemia Hypotension Tachycardia 13 A patient on chronic clonidine therapy needs to abruptly stop the medication. What is the most likely acute effect? * Anemia Hypertension Bradycardia Hyperkalemia Hypoglycemia 14 A patient on chronic β1‑blocker therapy requires a β2‑agonist for asthma. Which statement best describes the interaction? * β2‑agonist may still work; β1‑blocker does not affect β2 receptors. β1‑blocker will convert β2‑agonist into a β1‑antagonist. β2‑agonist will be ineffective due to β1 blockade. β2‑agonist will cause severe hypotension. β1‑blocker enhances β2‑agonist action. ← Previous Next → Submit Quiz ✓
