| With Abacavir what do you need to assess for? | flu like symptoms. (fever rash headache nausea sore throat fatigue and sob) these are hypersensitivity reactions to this drug. |
| what is combivir (zidovudine)? | nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. |
| what is combivir a combination of? and what kind of drug is it? | zidovudine and lamivudine nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor drug |
| what kinds of food do you need to avoid eating with combivir? | fatty foods |
| When taking which reverse transcriptase drugs should you avoid operating heavy machinery? (2) These drugs cause dizziness. | combivir, zidovudine |

| which nucleoside reverse transcriptase drugs suppresses bone marrow function? (2) | Zidovudine, combivir |
| which nucleoside reverse transcriptase drugs can cause pancreatitis? (5) | combivir, emtricitabine, lamivudine, trizivir, truvada |
| what is didanosine(ddl, videx) and what inhibits the absorption? | nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, food inhibits absorption. take on empty stomach |
| what is emtricitabine (emtriva)? | nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor |
| what do you need to teach the pt to avoid doing while taking emtricitabine? | eating fatty foods. |
| what is lamivudine? | nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor |
| what do you need to teach the pt to avoid doing while taking lamivudine? | eating fatty foods. |
| what is stravudine (d4t, zerit) | nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor |
| what is it important to assess with stravudine? (4) Hint: think S for senses | vision, hearing, touch and balance |
| when taking stravudine what does it induce? and this leads to what complications? | peripheral neuropathy leads to orthostatic hypotension reduced touch sensation decreased balance |
| what is it important to teach the pt who is taking stravudine? | change positions slowly, watch the floor or ground when walking |
| what is tenofovir (Viread)? | nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor |
| what is it important to teach the pt who is taking tenofovir? | if this pt is also prescribed didanosine they need to separate the drugs by 2 hours. |
| what is trizir a combination of? and what kind of drug is it? | zidovudine, lamivudine,abacavir nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor |
| what is epzicom and what is it a combination of? | nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor abacavir, lamivudine |
| what is truvada? and what is it a combination of? | nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor tenofovir and emtricitabine |
| what two things do you need to teach the pt who is taking truvada? | do not eat fatty foods and if taking didanosine separate these drugs by 2 hours. |
| what is zidovudine(retrovir) | nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor |
| what do you need to teach the pt who is taking zidovudine? | do not operate heavy machinery do not drive! |
| what do you need to monitor with zidovudine? | cbc, hepatic and renal function |
| what is the difference between a nucleoside rti and a non nucleoside rti? | the nrti incorporates into the viral dna and halts the virals growth. the nnrti inhibit its movement |
| what is delvirdine (Rescriptor) | nnrti |
| what inhibits the absorption of delvirdine? | antacids. take 1 hour b4 or 2 after antacids |
| what is etravine? | nnrti |
| what classification of drugs interact with etravine? | protease inhibitors |

| when taking nevirapine when should the pt stop taking this drug? and what should they report to the hcp? | if a rash develops persistent abdominal pain(drug may induce liver problems) |
| what do protease inhibitors do? | prevent viral replication and release of viral particles. active proteins are not produced so viral particles cannot leave the cell to infect other cells. |
| which classification of drugs supresses viral replication but does not actually kill the virus? | nnrti |
| which classification of drugs forms a counterfeit nucleotide base? | nrti |
| what is atazanavir(reyataz)? | protease inhibitor |
