1 point
which of the following classes of drugs are used to block the action of acetylcholine leading to bronchodilation?
○ corticosteroids
○ antibiotics
○ anticholinergics
○ beta-2 agonists

Explanation:

1. Rhinocort, Sudafed, and Nasonex are not anticholinergic bronchodilators for COPD; Spiriva Handihaler (tiotropium) is a long-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator approved for COPD treatment.
2. Corticosteroids reduce inflammation, antibiotics fight infections, and Beta-2 agonists act on beta receptors. Only anticholinergic drugs block acetylcholine to cause bronchodilation.

Answer:

1. Spiriva Handihaler
2. Anticholinergics
