Front 18

Xopenex MOA

Back 18

Binds to beta-2 adrenergic causing relaxation of bronchiole smooth muscles.

Front 19

Atrovent MOA

Back 19

Anticholimergic agent; blocks muscarinic cholinergic receptors resulting in decrease in formation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate; inhibits vagally mediated reflexes by antagonizing the action of acetylcholine, transmitter agent released from vagus nerve which interacts with smooth muscle.

Front 20

Albuterol MOA

Back 20

Selective beta-2 agonist that stimulates adrenergic receptors of the sympathomimetic nervous system; causes smooth muscle relaxation in the bronchial tree and peripheral vasculature.

Front 21

Lactate Ringers MOA

Back 21

Replaces water and electrolytes.

Front 22

Narcan MOA

Back 22

Competitive inhibition at narcotic receptor sites; reverses respiratory depression secondary to opioid drugs; completely inhibits the effect of morphone.

Front 23

D5W MOA

Back 23

Combines dextrose and water in a hypotonic concentration that will not remain in the vasculature space, reducing the danger of fluid overload.

Front 24

D50, D25, D10 MOA

Back 24

Rapidly increases serum glucose levels; short term osmotic diuresis.

Front 25

Tylenol MOA

Back 25

Pain and fever control

Front 26

Oral Glucose MOA

Back 26

After absorption in GI tract, glucose is distributed the tissue providing an increase in blood glucose levels

Front 27

Nitroglycerin MOA

Back 27

Smooth muscle relaxant acting on vasculature, bronchial, uterine, intestinal smooth muscle; dilation of arterioles and veins in the periphery; reduces preload and afterload, decreasing workload of the heart and thereby myocardial oxygen demand.

Front 28

Ibuprofen MOA

Back 28

Inhibits synthesis of prostaglandins in body tissues by inhibiting at least two cyclo-oxygenase isoenzymes; may inhibit chemotaxis, alter lymphocyte activity, decrease proinflammtory cytokine activity, and inhibit neutrophil aggregation; these effects may contribute to anti- inflammatory activity

Front 29

Aspirin MOA

Back 29

Prevents the formation of thromboxane A2, which cause platelets to clump together to form plugs that cause obstruction or constriction; anti-pyeretic and analgesic properties.

Front 30

Glucagon MOA

Back 30

Increase blood glucose level by stimulating glycogenesis; unknown mechanism of stabilizing cardiac rhythm in beta blocker overdose; minimal positive inotropic and chronotropic response; decrease GI motility and secretions.

Front 31

Epinephrine MOA

Back 31

Direct- acting alpha and beta agonists; alpha: vasoconstriction; beta-1: positive inotropic, chronotropic, dromotropic effects; Beta-2: bronchial smooth muscle relaxation and dilation of skeletal vasculature; blocks histamine receptors
