Question 1 of 5
A patient is admitted to the emergency department in shock. Isoproterenol (Isuprel) is admitted. What would the nurse expect the effect of this drug would be?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Increased blood pressure. Isoproterenol is a beta-adrenergic agonist that acts on beta receptors in the heart and blood vessels, leading to increased heart rate and contractility, resulting in increased cardiac output and subsequently increased blood pressure. Isoproterenol does not have a direct effect on body temperature, so choice C is incorrect. Isoproterenol does not cause a decrease in blood pressure or heart rate, so choices A and B are incorrect.
