Endocrine Review of Systems Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Adrenaline can produce all of the following effects EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone that activates the fight-or-flight response. It causes bronchial muscle relaxation (A), increases cardiac contractility (B), and increases sweat secretion (D) to prepare the body for action. However, adrenaline inhibits intestinal motility (C) to conserve energy for vital functions during stressful situations. Therefore, the correct answer is C because adrenaline does not increase intestinal motility. Relaxation of bronchial muscle, increased cardiac contractility, and increased sweat secretion are all effects of adrenaline, making choices A, B, and D incorrect, respectively.
Question 2 of 5
Atropine:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step 1: Atropine is an anticholinergic drug that blocks muscarinic receptors. Step 2: Blocking muscarinic receptors in the eye leads to dilation of the pupil, known as mydriasis. Step 3: Therefore, the correct answer is D, as atropine indeed produces mydriasis. Summary: A is incorrect because atropine is not a neuromuscular blocker. B is incorrect as atropine actually induces tachycardia. C is incorrect as atropine inhibits GIT motility and secretion.
Question 3 of 5
Which drug is most likely to cause muscle tremor:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Terbutaline. Terbutaline is a beta-2 adrenergic agonist used as a bronchodilator. It can stimulate beta-2 receptors in skeletal muscle, leading to muscle tremors as a common side effect. Ipratropium (A) is an anticholinergic bronchodilator and typically does not cause muscle tremors. Atenolol (C) is a beta-blocker and is not associated with muscle tremors. Nicotinic acid (D) is used to treat dyslipidemia and does not commonly cause muscle tremors. Therefore, Terbutaline is the most likely drug to cause muscle tremor among the options provided.
Question 4 of 5
Ritodrine is a drug indicated for suppressing uterine contractions in premature labor. The drug also causes bronchodilation. It has no vasoconstrictor effects, nor any effects on the size of the pupil of the eye. Which of the following is the most likely classification of this drug?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: β-adrenergic agonist. Ritodrine is indicated for suppressing uterine contractions, which is a typical effect of β-adrenergic agonists. Bronchodilation is also a known effect of β-adrenergic agonists. Since the drug has no vasoconstrictor effects and does not affect the size of the pupil of the eye, it is unlikely to be an α-adrenergic agonist or an antimuscarinic drug. Additionally, the fact that ritodrine causes bronchodilation further supports its classification as a β-adrenergic agonist.
Question 5 of 5
What is the approximate composition of the air in the balloons?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C (21, 0.04, high). This composition represents the approximate percentage of oxygen (21%) and carbon dioxide (0.04%) in the air inside the balloons. Oxygen is a major component of the air we breathe, making up around 21% of the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, is present in trace amounts, about 0.04%. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the typical composition of air. Choice A has a low oxygen content and choice B has a high carbon dioxide content, both of which do not align with the usual composition of the air. Choice D also has a low oxygen content and high carbon dioxide content, making it incorrect.
