Question: 1 / 400

The nurse is reviewing the medication administration record for a group of clients and recognizes that which agents have nonspecific cellular responses? (Select all that apply)

Ethyl alcohol

Ethyl alcohol is recognized to have nonspecific cellular responses because it acts on multiple cellular components not limited to a specific receptor or target. In contrast, choices B, C, D, and E each have more specific mechanisms of action. General anesthetics work by affecting the central nervous system, osmotic diuretics act on the nephron in the kidneys, calcium channel blockers act on specific channels in cardiac and smooth muscle cells, and alpha adrenergic antihypertensives target alpha adrenergic receptors in the body. Ethyl alcohol's effects are broader and not as targeted as the other options, making it the correct choice for agents with nonspecific cellular responses.
