Part 1: If Vince is taking Inderal, what is one possible disease or condition that would warrant taking this drug?
Part 2: Sister Mary Lazarus is a very stern woman who has high blood pressure. Do you think Inderal could help Sister May Lazarus? If so, explain HOW this beta-adrenergic blocker could help her condition (BE VERY SPECIFIC, noting structures that contribute to her disease state and HOW the drug would reverse the disease).
Part 3: Sister Mary Robert, a quiet and shy nun, accidently takes some Inderal. If the patient has low blood pressure, how could Inderal be dangerous to Sister Mary Robert?

Explanation / Answer

Answers:

Part1:

is vince is taking inderal the possiblity of the disease that he is suffering from may be high blood pressure or angina or subaotric stenosis.

Part 2:

Yes inderal could help down in the hugh blood pressure because this beta blocker can block the adrenaline which is the harmone that triggers fight and flight reaction when we are stressed which can be helpful to slow down the heart rate and may also help in the relexation of the heart muscle which can be able to control the problem of high blood pressure

Part 3:

As the inderal is prescribed for the treatment of the high blood pressure so that it can be slow down as the heart muscle should get releaxed if then it is accidently taken for the low blood pressure it may result in the very low blood pressure that leads to the critical condition. so thats why it should not be taken for low BP.
