Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adrenergic bronchodilators can cause hypokalemia (decreased potassium levels), dizziness, and worsening ventilation/perfusion ratio. Bradycardia is not a common adverse effect of adrenergic bronchodilator use. Therefore, options A and D can be eliminated. Option B includes only options 2 and 3, which are only two of the potential adverse effects of adrenergic bronchodilator use. Option C includes all three potential adverse effects listed and is the best choice.
