Question
Answer
Tx of Ulcer   Reduce gastric acid secretion (antisecretory); Reduce gastric acid irritation on mucosal lining (antacid); Create a protective barrier; ABT  
🗑
How can GERD be managed?   Low stress, no spicy food, small portions, no alcohol, not laying down after meal,  
🗑
What class of drug is most common/effective against GERD?   Proton pump inhibitor, Omeprazole (prilosec)  
🗑
How do proton pump inhibitor work?   It decreases acid production  
🗑
Why is a perforation in the GI tract dangerous?   Bleeding and infection  
🗑
What SS would you expect?   little blood in stool, content from the GI coming out, low BP.  
🗑
Natural causes of increase acid production   stress  
🗑
Factors that increase acid production (worsen heart burn)   position, food, life style choices, stress, small portion  
🗑
Over the counter antacids   for occasional acute heart burn, less frequent.  
🗑
Uses of antacids/side effect/containing what minerals?   Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminum, Calcium; Sodium bad for HTN, SE, diarrhea for Mg, constipation for Na and Al  
🗑
Which cause constipation?   Sodium and Aluminum; Mg no constipation  
🗑
Clients at high risk for diarrhea/constipation   For diarrhea Younger, on ABT, Vomiting; for Constipation, elderly, over medicated, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, stress, dehydration  
🗑
Treatment for H Pylori   Triple therapy, 2 ABT and a bismuth, because H Pylori is a bacterial infection  
🗑
Natural barriers to regurgitation of gastric acids   Gravity, saliva, sphincters, mucous lining  
🗑
Why is opiate bad choice to treat diarrhea?   It acts on the central nervous system can lead to constipation, they are narcotics. Effects are worse than diarrhea.  
🗑
How can diarrhea be dangerous?   Dehydration, alter fluid and electrolyte balance, should be reported after 2 days, hydration and I/O right away  
🗑
How can constipation be dangerous?   blocage  
🗑
H2 Receptor antagonists   tx duodenal ulcer and GERD, Reduce gastric acid secretion, Cimetidine, ranitidine (Zantac), famotidine, nizatidine  
🗑
SE H2 receptor antagonists   Can affect liver  
🗑
What produces and secrete mucus?   Prostaglandins  
🗑
Prostaglandin inhibitors inhibit   The mucus and cause ulcers  
🗑
Used of proton pump inhibitor   Acute of GERD, in combination with ABT for all ulcers  
🗑
Proton Pump Inhibitors   Mediate the exchange of potassium ions (K+) for hydrogen ions (H+) within parietal cells and reduce acid secretion  
🗑
Proton pump inhibitors   Omeprazole (prilosec)  
🗑
What is H Pylori   Bacteria that can cause ulcer.  
🗑
Treatment for H Pylori   Triple therapy, 2 ABT and a bismuth, because H Pylori is a bacterial infection  
🗑
Proton pump inhibitor vs antacid   PPI decrease production of acid, antacid neutralize acid already produced  
🗑
Antacids   Neutralize acid already produced by combining to it and make a salt  
🗑
GI stimulants   tx for GERD, promote emptying of stomach, stimulate peristalsis, selectively stimulate cholinergic receptors in GI  
🗑
Metoclopramide/Reglan. Cisapride, never used   GI stimulant, usually after surgery to prevent vomiting, SE diarrhea  
🗑
Vomiting (Emesis) Mechanism   Vomiting occurs by CNS stimulation of the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and vomiting center (VC)  
🗑
Drugs that prevent vomiting   Antiemetics, Phenergan is usually used with Narcotics to increase effects  
🗑
Increase in intestinal motility produces   Watery stool (diarrhea)  
🗑
Decrease in intestinal motility produces   Compacted stool difficult to expel (constipation)  
🗑
Major causes of constipation   Emotional stress and poor diet (w/o fiber)  
🗑
What do Adsorbents do?   Decrease diarrhea by binding irritating substances. Bismuth  
🗑
What do Anticholinergics do?   Inhibit parasympathetic nervous system, slow intestinal motility facilitate water absorption: atropine, belladonna, scopolamine  
🗑
Most frequent adverse effect of antidiarrheal   Constipation  
🗑
Mechanism of Emollients   Allow water to penetrate the fecal mass to help soften and lubricate. Mineral oil  
🗑
Mechanism of Osmotic (saline) laxatives   Contain sodium ions that attract water into the feces. Sodium phosphate salts, magnesium citrate, SEdehydration  
🗑
Strongest laxative   Osmotic  
🗑
Mechanism of Stimulants laxatives   Irritate the intestinal lining and promote histamine release increasing intestinal motility; bisacodyl, castor oil, senna preparations  
🗑
Stool softeners   Gentle, soften and moisturize stools. Docusate sodium, docusate calcium, docusate potassium (prevention)  
🗑
Mechanism of Swelling agents   Natural fibers or grains that soak up water and expand. Give the muscle something to grab on to push stool in the system. Bran, prunes, psyllium hydrophilic (prevention)  
🗑
Best laxative class for prevention   Stool softener and swelling agents  
🗑
MOM   Mg Antacid, Shake the bottle first, do not cause constipation, but BM, SE diarrhea.  
🗑
Mineral oil   Emollients, Allow water to penetrate the fecal mass  
🗑
Senna, Castor oil, Bisacodyl   Stimulants laxatives, irritate the intestinal lining and promote histamine release increasing intestinal motility  
🗑
Docusate sodium   Stool softeners, soften and moisturize stools  
🗑
Bismuth   For triple therapy, Adsorbent antidiarrheal, Antacid  
🗑
Scopolamine   Anticholinergics, Inhibit parasympathetic nervous system, prevention for motion sickness,  
🗑
Lomotil (combo drug)   Combination of Diphenoxylate, Atropine for Antidiarrheal  
🗑
Dimenhydrinate and Meclizine   Antihistamine, Treat or prevent nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness  
🗑
