Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Indications for beta1 activation include heart failure, cardiac arrest, and shock, all of which would affect the heart rate, blood pressure, and urine output. Dobutamine's effectiveness would be measured by assessing for and observing positive outcomes in these findings.
Temperature and uterine contractions would not be affected.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors can intensify the vasoconstrictive effects of epinephrine on the heart and blood vessels, therefore their administration together would be contraindicated.
Beta blockers are vasodilators and would not likely precipitate a hypertensive crisis when administered with epinephrine.
Diuretics can complement the beneficial effects of dopamine on the kidney.
Alpha1-adrenergic blockers would cause vasodilation and would not likely precipitate a hypertensive crisis when administered with epinephrine.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
