An emergency drug which increases heart rate, raises blood pressure, and dilates bronchi is:

Choice A reason: BP every 4 hours isn’t universal; slow rising is key. This errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, not the primary responsibility.

Choice B reason: Teaching slow position changes prevents antihypertensive-induced dizziness. This fits nursing pharmacology standards. It’s universally applied, distinctly critical for safety.

Choice C reason: Stopping meds needs orders; slow rising manages drops. This misaligns with nursing pharmacology. It’s universally distinct, errors in protocol.

Choice D reason: Tachycardia doesn’t justify dose increase; slow rising helps. This errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, off responsibility mark.

Choice A reason: Anti-manics, like lithium, treat mania; tricyclics target depression. This misidentifies, per nursing pharmacology. It’s universally distinct, errors in mood disorder classification.

Choice B reason: Tricyclics, like amitriptyline, are antidepressants, lifting mood effectively. This fits, per nursing standards. It’s universally recognized, distinctly applied for depression management in practice.

Choice C reason: Antipsychotics treat psychosis; tricyclics address depression, not hallucinations. This errors, per nursing pharmacology. It’s universally distinct, missing the antidepressant focus.

Choice D reason: Anti-anxiety drugs calm; tricyclics treat depression, not just anxiety. This misaligns, per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, errors in drug purpose.
