答案Answers 1. A. I use an inhaler at home for asthma Rationale: The answer is A. Propranolol is a nonselective beta blocker. Therefore, it affects beta 1 and beta 2 receptors. Beta 2 receptors are found in the lungs (specifically the bronchioles). This medication could cause bronchoconstriction in patients with asthma or COPD and should be avoided. Selective beta blockers (Atenolol, Esmolol, Metorprolol) block only beta 1 (which are found in the heart and kidneys). Therefore, they are less likely to cause bronchoconstriction. 2. D. This is a side effect of the medication. I will notify your physician. Rationale: Weakness can be a side effect of atenolol.
