Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beta₂ medications are bronchodilators that work by relaxing the muscles in the small airways of the lungs, allowing more air to flow through them. This helps to relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Diminishing the need for oxygen (A) is not a direct benefit of beta₂ medication. Slowing the respiratory and heart rate (B) may be a side effect of some medications, but it is not the primary benefit of the beta₂ agonists. Eliminating chest pain (C) is not a benefit of beta₂ medication as it is not used to treat chest pain.
