Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

This statement is incorrect because an antagonist medication changes the effects of normal cellular functions by blocking receptors.

Choice B rationale

An antagonist medication binds to receptors and blocks the usual receptor activity, preventing the normal action of the endogenous substance.

Choice C rationale

This statement describes an agonist medication, which binds to receptors and increases the effects of normal cellular functions.

Choice D rationale

This statement is incorrect because an antagonist medication does not both increase and decrease the effects on normal cellular functions; it primarily blocks receptor activity.

A. Benztropine. B. Protamine sulfate. C. Vitamin K. D. Digibind.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Benztropine is an anticholinergic agent used to treat Parkinsonism and extrapyramidal symptoms, not suitable for reversing heparin effects.

Choice B rationale

Protamine sulfate is the specific antidote for heparin overdose. It works by neutralizing the anticoagulant effects of heparin.

Choice C rationale

Vitamin K is an antidote for warfarin overdose, promoting the synthesis of clotting factors, but ineffective against heparin.

Choice D rationale

Digibind is an antidote for digoxin toxicity, not appropriate for counteracting heparin.
