Pressors: Pharmacology Test Questions and Answers, Exams of Nursing

Aims Community CollegeNursing

A series of test questions and accurate solutions related to pressors, which are medications used to increase blood pressure. It covers various pressors such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, phenylephrine, dobutamine, dopamine, vasopressin, and milrinone. The questions address the receptors each pressor acts on, their main effects, primary uses, and potential side effects. This material is useful for medical and nursing students studying pharmacology and critical care, offering a concise review of essential concepts related to pressor medications and their clinical applications. It includes key points about the mechanisms of action, uses in different types of shock, and potential adverse effects, making it a valuable resource for exam preparation and clinical practice.
