    Narcan is an antagonist for this sedation drug used in the lab:

    • Versed

    • Fentanyl

    • Heparin

    • Integrilin

    Correct Answer
    A. Fentanyl
    Explanation
    Narcan is an antagonist for Fentanyl. Fentanyl is a potent opioid analgesic that is commonly used for sedation in medical procedures. Narcan, also known as naloxone, is an opioid receptor antagonist that can reverse the effects of opioid overdose, including sedation. Therefore, when Fentanyl is used as a sedation drug in the lab, Narcan can be administered to counteract its sedative effects if necessary.

    What class of drug is Epinephrine?

    • Inotrope

    • Chronotrope

    • Antiarrhythmic

    • Anticoagulant

    Correct Answer
    A. Inotrope
    Explanation
    Epinephrine is classified as an inotrope. Inotropes are drugs that affect the force of muscular contractions, particularly in the heart. Epinephrine acts on the beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, increasing the strength and rate of contractions. This makes it useful in treating conditions such as cardiac arrest or severe hypotension. It is not classified as a chronotrope, antiarrhythmic, or anticoagulant, as it primarily affects cardiac contractility rather than heart rate, rhythm, or blood clotting.

    What class of drug is Atropine?

    • Beta Blocker

    • Calcium Blocker

    • Antiarrhythmic

    • Anticholinergic

    Correct Answer
    A. Anticholinergic
    Explanation
    Atropine is classified as an anticholinergic drug because it blocks the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that regulates various bodily functions. By inhibiting the effects of acetylcholine, Atropine can cause relaxation of smooth muscles, increase heart rate, dilate pupils, and reduce secretions. This class of drugs is commonly used to treat conditions such as bradycardia, asthma, and gastrointestinal disorders. Therefore, the correct answer is anticholinergic.

    Which of the following best describes Integrilin?

    • Anticoagulant

    • Antithrombin

    • Antiplatelet

    • Antiprotocol

    Correct Answer
    A. Antiplatelet
    Explanation
    Integrilin is best described as an antiplatelet. Antiplatelet drugs work by preventing the formation of blood clots by inhibiting the aggregation of platelets. Integrilin specifically belongs to a class of drugs called glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, which block the receptors on platelets that are responsible for their aggregation. By inhibiting platelet aggregation, Integrilin helps to prevent the formation of blood clots and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.

    In addition to being a local analgesic, Lidocaine is also which other class of drug?

    • Beta Blocker

    • Sodium Channel Blocker

    • Calcium Channel Blocker

    • Potassium Channel Blocker

    Correct Answer
    A. Sodium Channel Blocker
    Explanation
    Lidocaine is a local analgesic, meaning it numbs the area where it is applied. In addition to this, it also belongs to the class of drugs known as sodium channel blockers. Sodium channel blockers work by blocking sodium channels in nerve cells, preventing the transmission of pain signals. This further enhances the analgesic effect of lidocaine, making it an effective pain reliever.

    What is a dromotrope?

    • A dromotrope affects heart rate at the SA node

    • A dromotrope affects heart rate at the AV node

    • A dromotrope alters the force or energy of muscular contractions

    • A dromotrope affects diastolic relaxation

    Correct Answer
    A. A dromotrope affects heart rate at the AV node
    Explanation
    A dromotrope affects heart rate at the AV node. The AV node is responsible for conducting electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles of the heart. By affecting heart rate at the AV node, a dromotrope can either increase or decrease the speed at which these electrical signals are conducted, thereby influencing the heart rate.
