Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is not a side effect of Sympathoplegics (Clonidine)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hypertension is not a side effect of Sympathoplegics (Clonidine). Sympathoplegics are medications that inhibit the sympathetic nervous system, leading to decreased heart rate and blood pressure. Therefore, hypertension is not a common side effect. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because difficulty breathing, dry oral cavity, and lethargic behavior are potential side effects of Sympathoplegics due to their central nervous system depressant effects.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is not an effect of the drug isoflurane?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Elevated lipid levels. Isoflurane does not cause elevated lipid levels. Isoflurane is a general anesthetic that primarily affects the central nervous system, leading to effects like decreased respiratory function and increased blood flow to the brain. Nausea can also be a side effect of isoflurane due to its impact on the gastrointestinal system. However, there is no direct link between isoflurane and elevated lipid levels. Thus, choice A is the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is not a common effect of Midazolam?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Midazolam is a benzodiazepine commonly used as a sedative and anxiolytic. 2. Common effects of Midazolam include amnesia, decreased respiratory function, and anesthetic properties. 3. Dizziness is not a common effect of Midazolam but can be a side effect in some individuals. 4. Therefore, choice D (Dizziness) is not a common effect of Midazolam, making it the correct answer. Summary: - A: Amnesia - Common effect of Midazolam - B: Decreased respiratory function - Common effect of Midazolam - C: Anesthetic - Common effect of Midazolam - D: Dizziness - Not a common effect of Midazolam, making it the correct answer.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is not a known effect of the drug Clozapine?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hyperactivity. Clozapine is an antipsychotic drug used for schizophrenia treatment. Agranulocytosis is a known severe side effect of Clozapine. Hyperactivity is not a known effect of Clozapine, as it actually has a sedative effect due to its mechanism of action in the brain. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as agranulocytosis is a known side effect, Clozapine is an antipsychotic drug, and it is commonly used for schizophrenia treatment.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following conditions is not treated with epinephrine?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Renal disease. Epinephrine is not used to treat renal disease because it can potentially worsen kidney function. Epinephrine is used in asthma to dilate the airways, in hypotension to increase blood pressure, and in glaucoma to reduce intraocular pressure. Treating renal disease with epinephrine can lead to further complications due to its effect on blood flow and kidney function. Therefore, renal disease is not treated with epinephrine to avoid exacerbating kidney issues.
