Which of the following describe SSRI's?

Which of the following describe SNRI's?

Which of the following describe Tricyclics?

Which of the following describe MAO Inhibitors?

With Serotonin Syndrome, serotonin accumulates in the brain causing sweating, agitation, restlessness, shivering, and tachycardia, leading to seizures, coma, or death.

Depression occurs when there is an excessive amount of one (or more) of the amine neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine) in the CNS. Therefore, treatment for depression revolves around selective stripping of these neurotransmitters, one at a time.

Depression occurs when there is a lack of one of the amine neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine) . Anti-depressant medications work to block the reuptake of the amines (SSRI, SNRI, Tricyclics) or increase the sensitivity of the amine receptors and block the destruction of the amines (MAO Inhibitors).

Select the common side effects of Tricyclics.

Nitroglycerin is used to treat Bi-Polar Disorder because it prevents the depressive phase of the disorder.

Lithium is used to treat Bi-Polar Disorder because it prevents the manic phase of the disorder.

Which of the following are Anticholinergic Side Effects?

Which of the following best describes Status Epilepticus?

What are the criteria for withdrawal from an anti-epileptic drug?

While working in an inpatient setting, you are given a patient with epilepsy. In order to minimize the seizure risk during therapy, which of the following is most appropriate?

Of the following General Anesthetics, which are administered via inhalation?

Of the following General Anesthetics, which are administered via intravenous injection?

Why do General Anesthetics have a hangover effect?

Adjuvants may be administered with a general anesthetic to provide additional effects, such as sedation/relaxation and neuromuscular blocking.

Local anesthetics end in which of the following suffixes?

Why is epinephrine commonly administered with local anesthetics?

What is a Bier Block?

Heating modalities accelerate transdermal absorption of local anesthetics. Thus, applying moist heat before beginning ROM components of therapy is beneficial because it will help the patient stretch further.

2 classifications of postsynaptic receptors based on NTs [blank_start]Cholinergic[blank_end] receptor: acetylcholine, targets parasympathetic nervous system and some sympathetic. Increase activity at synapses. [blank_start]Adrenergic[blank_end] receptor: norepinephrine, targets sympathetic nervous system. Diminish response of tissues.

Cholinergic Drugs can be used to treat which of the following?

Anti-Cholinergic Drugs can be used to treat which of the following?

Which of the following are side effects of cholinergic drugs?

Which of the following are side effects of anti-cholinergic drugs?

[blank_start]Adrenergic Antagonists[blank_end] inhibit response to adrenaline/epinephrine/norepinephrine which decreases sympathetic response. [blank_start]Adrenergic Agonists[blank_end] stimulate response to adrenaline/epinephrine/norepinephrine which increases sympathetic response. [blank_start]Cholinergic Stimulants[blank_end] increase activity at synapses which increases parasympathetic responses. [blank_start]Anti-Cholinergics[blank_end] decrease activity at synapses which decreases parasympathetic responses.
