The patient has swelling in lower extremities, dyspnea, and crackles in lung fields. The patient’s blood pressure is 102/76.Ĭ. The patient’s heart rate is 120 beats per minute.ī. What finding below would require you to hold the scheduled dose and notify the physician?Ī. At 1000 your patient is scheduled to take a dose of Atenolol. Timolol is a nonselective beta blocker and affects both beta 1 and beta 2 receptors.Ħ. Atenolol, Metoprolol, and Esmolol are selective and affect ONLY beta 1 receptors, which are found in the heart and kidneys. Select all the beta blocker medications listed below that affect ONLY beta 1 receptors: Therefore, they are less likely to cause bronchoconstriction.ĥ. Selective beta blockers (Atenolol, Esmolol, Metorprolol) block only beta 1 (which are found in the heart and kidneys). This medication could cause bronchoconstriction in patients with asthma or COPD and should be avoided. Beta 2 receptors are found in the lungs (specifically the bronchioles). Therefore, it affects beta 1 and beta 2 receptors. Propranolol is a nonselective beta blocker. “I had caffeine this morning with breakfast.”ĭ. “My heart feels like it is racing, and I feel very weak.”Ĭ. Which statement by the patient requires the nurse to hold the ordered dose and notify the physician for further orders?Ī. A patient is admitted with a dysrhythmia. Beta 2 receptors can be found in the lungs (bronchioles), GI system, vascular smooth muscle, skeletal muscle and even the ciliary body of the eye (not listed).Ĥ. Beta 2 receptors can be found in the? Select all that apply: Beta 1 receptors can be found in the HEART and KIDNEYS.ģ. Beta 1 receptors can be found in the? Select all that apply: Beta blockers block the beta receptors in the body so norepinephrine and epinephrine cannot bind to the receptor site and elicit a sympathetic nervous system response.Ģ. dopamine and acetylcholine parasympathetic nervous system

norepinephrine and epinephrine sympathetic nervous systemĭ. dopamine and norepinephrine parasympathetic nervous systemĬ. angiotensin II and angiotensin I sympathetic nervous systemī. You know this medication blocks the beta receptors in the body so _ and _ cannot bind to the receptor site and elicit a _ _ _ response.Ī.
