F1F1F1S1F1F1F10₂-adrenergic receptor stimulation is associated with bronchial dilation. This suggests that the client is likely receiving a medication that activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors, which are primarily located in the lungs and cause bronchodilation. Options A, B, and D are unlikely as they are associated with activation of other types of adrenergic receptors. Vasodilation of the periphery is usually mediated by activation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, which causes vasoconstriction. Cardiac deceleration is mediated by activation of muscarinic receptors, not adrenergic receptors. Uterine contractions are mediated by activation of both alpha-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors.
