What drug will the nurse administer to reverse the actions of neuromuscular junction (NMJ) blocker?
A) Cholinesterase inhibitor
B) Xanthine
C) Halothane
D) Aminoglycoside
A
Feedback:
Ensure that a cholinesterase inhibitor is readily available to overcome excessive neuromuscular blockade caused by nondepolarizing NMJ blockers. Although xanthines reverse NMJ blocking effects, they would not be administered for that purpose because their effects are not predictable. Halothane and aminoglycosides enhance paralytic effects of NMJ blockers.
