ATI Cardiovascular Drugs Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
LSD produces:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, "All of the above." LSD produces mood swings due to its impact on serotonin levels. It impairs memory, thinking, and judgment by affecting the brain's cognitive functions. LSD also causes perceptual distortions by altering sensory perceptions. Therefore, all choices A, B, and C are correct effects of LSD.
Question 2 of 5
The drugs used for oral administration EXCLUDE:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Fercoven because it is not a common drug used for oral administration. Ferrous sulfate, ferrous lactate, and ferrous fumarate are commonly used oral iron supplements for treating iron deficiency anemia. Fercoven is not a known drug for oral administration in the context of iron supplementation. Therefore, it is the outlier among the choices provided.
Question 3 of 5
All of the following statements regarding inhibitors of type III phosphodiesterase are true EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Type III phosphodiesterase inhibitors increase cAMP levels in cardiac myocytes, leading to positive inotropic and vasodilatory effects, reducing afterload. They are associated with the risk of cardiac arrhythmias due to their effects on cardiac contractility. However, they do not show significant cross-tolerance with beta-receptor agonists, as they act via a different mechanism. Therefore, choice C is incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following antianginal agents is the specific bradycardic drug:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step 1: Identify the specific bradycardic drug among the choices. Step 2: Atenolol is a beta-blocker known to decrease heart rate. Step 3: Bradycardia is defined as a heart rate <60 bpm. Step 4: Atenolol is commonly used to treat angina and hypertension. Step 5: Therefore, the correct answer is C: Atenolol, as it specifically decreases heart rate. Summary: A: Dipyridamole - antiplatelet, not known for bradycardic effects. B: Validol - used for angina relief, not a bradycardic agent. C: Atenolol - beta-blocker, specific bradycardic drug. D: Alinidine - antiarrhythmic agent, not primarily used for bradycardia.
Question 5 of 5
Indicate the drugs which are Ca-channel blockers influencing the brain blood flow:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because Nimodipine and Cinnarizine are calcium channel blockers that affect brain blood flow by dilating cerebral blood vessels. Nimodipine specifically acts on cerebral arteries, while Cinnarizine works by reducing the influx of calcium ions into smooth muscle cells of the brain vasculature. Choice A, Aminalon and Picamilon, are not calcium channel blockers and do not directly influence brain blood flow. Choice C, Heparin and Warfarin, are anticoagulants and do not have a direct effect on brain blood flow through calcium channel blockade. Choice D, Vinpocetine and Nicergoline, are vasodilators that improve cerebral blood flow, but they do not act as calcium channel blockers.
