Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Common adverse effects of adrenergic agents are palpitations, rapid heart rate, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, and tremors. Adrenergic agents may cause hyperglycemia in the patient with diabetes mellitus. Adrenergic agents may cause tachycardia, not bradycardia, in the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
Cholinergic agents produce effects similar to those of acetylcholine. Cholinergic actions increase gastrointestinal (GI) motility and secretions that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping. GI symptoms tend to be dose related and may be controlled by decreasing the dosage. Dizziness is a common adverse effect and can be minimized by rising slowly from a sitting or supine position. Cholinergic agents slow the heart rate, have a hypotensive effect, increase GI motility, and result in diarrhea and cramping.
