Beta-adrenergic blocking drugs

Beta2 receptor blockade use results in less effective glucose metabolism, especially when accompanied with anti-diabetic medications.

Discontinue the cholinergic medication secondary to the diagnosis of bradycardia.

Discontinuing the medication too quickly can result in sensitization of the heart muscle.

Propranolol

Scopolamine

Seizures

Sinus bradycardia

Skin flushing

Systolic blood pressure below 100 mm Hg

Tamsulosin.

The medication causes vasoconstriction, limiting the blood flow to the area.

The proper method for instilling eye drops

The pulse is less than 60 beats per minute.

The systolic blood pressure is less than 90 mmHg.

types of beta receptors

There are three types of beta receptors and they control several different functions based on their location in the body. beta-1 (β1) receptors are located in the heart, eye, and kidneys. beta (β2) receptors are found in the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, liver, uterus, blood vessels, and skeletal muscle. beta (β3) receptors are located in fat cells. Beta blockers primarily block β1 and β2 receptors and thereby the effects of norepinephrine and epinephrine. By blocking the effects of norepinephrine and epinephrine, beta blockers reduce heart rate; reduce blood pressure by dilating blood vessels; and may constrict air passages by stimulating the muscles that surround the air passages to contract considered an adverse side effect).

There is irregularity in the client's heart rate or rhythm.

This is cholinergic crisis, and the provider needs to be notified immediately.

To dry up respiratory secretions to prevent aspiration during surgery
