Question 8 (10 points) If the paramedics had found the Underhills still alive despite their low blood pressure, which of the following medication could have been used to save them and why? Viagra® (sildenafil citrate), which would increase the local production of nitric oxide and therefore decrease total peripheral resistance. Acebutolol, a beta-blocker, which would antagonize beta-adrenergic receptors on arterioles and therefore constrict arterioles. Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic (or "water pill"), which would increase urine output and therefore restore blood volume to normal. Pilocarpine, a muscarinic agonist, which would activate muscarinic receptors on arterioles and therefore dilate arterioles. Epipen, which delivers epinephrine, would stimulate beta-adrenergic receptors on the heart and therefore increase cardiac output.
