Sally Reed, a 45-year-old teacher, visits the medical clinic once every month. She always brings her medications with her for review. Sally was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis last year, and the physicians at the clinic are still working on regulating her medications. On this visit, a health care professional assesses Sally prior to her visit with the physician. While Sally is waiting for the physician, she asks the health care professional about the side effects of her medications. The health care professional is aware that medications that mimic the neurotransmitter acetylcholine are parasympathomimetics, or:
a. beta-adrenergic blockers.
b. cholinergic blockers.
c. adrenergics.
