Nursing MCQ – Pharmacology

Under this Pharmacology MCQ set we covered these topics;

  • Anti-inflammatory agents including NSAIDs, corticosteroids, leukotriene antagonists, biologics, and natural compounds

  • Emetics and antiemetics covering emetic stimulants (e.g., apomorphine, ipecac) and anti-nausea drugs such as 5-HT₃ antagonists, NK₁ antagonists, dopamine blockers, anticholinergics, antihistamines, and cannabinoids

  • Steroids including systemic glucocorticoids, inhaled and topical corticosteroids, mineralocorticoids, and their mechanisms of action on inflammation and immune modulation

  • Cardiotonic drugs such as digitalis glycosides (digoxin), phosphodiesterase III inhibitors (milrinone), and adrenergic inotropes (dobutamine, dopamine) with their effects on contractility and hemodynamics

  • Anxiolytics encompassing benzodiazepines (diazepam, lorazepam), non-benzodiazepine anxiolytics (buspirone), antihistaminic sedatives (hydroxyzine), and beta-blockers (propranolol) for anxiety management

  • Mydriatics and related ophthalmic agents including anticholinergics (atropine, tropicamide), alpha₁-agonists (phenylephrine), cycloplegics (cyclopentolate), and reversal by cholinesterase inhibitors
