How Do Sub Receptors Affect Medication Management?
Nurses must understand how different medications interact with specific sub receptors to manage patient care effectively. For example:
Beta-blockers: These drugs target beta-adrenergic receptors to manage hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. Anticholinergics: These medications inhibit muscarinic cholinergic receptors and are used to treat conditions like asthma and Parkinson's disease. Antidepressants: Many of these drugs affect serotonin and dopamine receptors to help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
