Question 1 of 5
A client primary care provider prescribed a B-adrenergic receptor blocker. Which of the following therapeutic effects do the client and care provider likely seek?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Reduction in the heart rate and blood pressure. Beta-adrenergic receptor blockers work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, leading to a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure. This is beneficial for conditions such as hypertension and heart failure. Option A, increase in mental acuity, is not a typical therapeutic effect of beta blockers. Option B, slowing of gastrointestinal motility, is more commonly associated with anticholinergic medications. Option C, decreased production in gastric acid, is usually achieved with proton pump inhibitors.
Therefore, the primary therapeutic effect sought by the client and care provider in this case is the reduction in heart rate and blood pressure.
