Pharmacology and the Nursing Process by Linda Lane Lilley: Practice Exam

Drug interactions with andregenics may result in:

1. Decreased hypotensive effects

2. Increased hypotensive effects

3. Potentiation of bradycardia

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

Androgenics are substances that affect the body's production or use of male hormones. These hormones play a role in many functions of the body including blood pressure and heart rate regulation. Drug interactions with androgenics can have various effects on the body, including affecting blood pressure and heart rate. Option A is incorrect because it states "decreased hypotensive effects" which would suggest that blood pressure decreases, but this is incorrect. Option B is correct because it states "increased hypotensive effects" which means that blood pressure decreases even more. Option C is incorrect because it refers to "potentiation of bradycardia," which is a slowing of the heart rate, rather than hypotension. Therefore, option D, which includes all of the above options, is the correct answer. This explains that drug interactions with androgenics can result in increased hypotensive
