Q

Patients who cannot tolerate the sympathetic effects of sympathomimetics might respond to the anticholinergic drugs (ipratropium:atrovent) and (tiotropium:spiriva)

A

Anticholinergics

20
Q

Used as bronchodilators because of their efrect on the vagus nerve, which sis to block or antagonize the action of the acetylcholine

A

Anticholinergic

21
Q

Anticholinergic nursing implementation

A

Oral drug with food or milk
Use it 30 to 60 mins before exercising
Not to exceed 12 inhalations in 24 hours

22
Q

Selectively and competitively block zafirlukast and montelukast or antagonize zileutom receptors for the production of luekitrienes d4 and e4

A

Leukotriene receptor antagonist

23
Q

Drugs block many of the signs and symptoms of asthma

A
  1. Neutrophil & eosinophil migration
  2. Neutrophil & monocyte aggregation
  3. Leukocyte adhesion
  4. Increased capillary permeability
  5. Smooth muscle contraction
24
Q

Occurs when the epithelial lining of the sinus cavities becomes inflamed

A

Sinusitis

25
Q

Sinusitis symptoms

A

Tenderness around the cheek, eyes, or forehead
38 degree c

26
Q

Decrease the overproduction of secretions by causing local vasoconstrictions to the upper tract

A

Decongestants

27
Q

Leads to a shrinking of swollen mucous membranes and tends to open clogged nasal passages, producing relief from the discomfort of a blocked nose and promoting drainage of secretions and improved airflow

A

Vasoconstriction

28
Q

Decongestants classifications

A
  1. Topical nasal decongestions
  2. Oral decongestions
  3. Topical steroid nasal decongestions
29
Q

Decongestion should not be used frequently or prolonged use due to rebound vasodilation called

A

Rhinitis medicamentosa

30
Q

Permanent, chronic obstruction of the airways, often related to cigarette smoking

A

COPD

31
Q

Permanent inflammation of the airways with mucus secretion, edema and post inflammatory defenses

A

Chronic bronchitis

32
Q

Characterized by loss of elastic tissue of the lungs destruction of alveolar walls, and resultant alveolar hyperinflation with a tendency to collapse with expiration

A

Emphysema

33
Q

Drugs that liquefy the lower respiratory tract secretions

A

Expectorants

34
Q

Use for the symptomatic relief of respiratory conditions characterized by a dry, non productive cough

A

Expectorants

35
Q

Work to break down mucus to aid high-risk respiratory patients coughing up thick, tenacious secretions

A

Mucolytics

36
Q

Drugs that suppress the cough reflex

A

41
Q

Causes obstruction at the alveolar level

Surfactant

43
Q

Characterized by progressive loss of lung compliance and increasing hypoxia

A
