Question
Answer
Nitrates action   Relaxes blood vessels and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload.  
🗑
Hyperlipidemia medication/ HMG CoA Reductase inhibitors action   Interfere with the livers ability to make cholesterol  
🗑
Diuretics action   They cause the body to rid itself of excess fluids and sodium through urination. excess fluid in the body can lead to high blood pressure  
🗑
ACE inhibitors action   They stop the body's ability to produce angiotensin II, a natural substance that causes blood vessels to tighten (contract)  
🗑
ARB's action   Used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. rather than lowering levels of angiotensin II, angiotensin II receptor blockers prevent this chemical from having any effects on the heart and blood vessels  
🗑
Beta Adrenergic Blockers action   They do this by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in various parts of the body. this prevents epinephrine from stimulating these receptors. They may be used to treat abnormal heart rhythms and prevent abnormally fast heart rate or irregular rhythms  
🗑
Calcium Channel Blockers action   Blocks the movement of calcium into heart and blood vessel, which relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, slowing the heart rate and decreasing oxygen demands of the heart .  
🗑
Anticoagulants action   Decrease the ability of blood to clot.  
🗑
Common vasodilator endings   "nitrate"  
🗑
Common ending for HMGCoA Reductase Inhibitors   "statin"  
🗑
Common ending for loop diuretics   "mide"  
🗑
Common ending for ACE inhibitor   "pril"  
🗑
Common ending for ARB's   "sartan"  
🗑
Common ending for beta blockers   "olol"  
🗑
Common ending for calcium channel blockers   "pine"  
🗑
Common side-effect of nitrates   headaches because of dilation of cerebral arteries  
🗑
Common side-effect of statins   HMG-hepotoxicity, myalgia, pregnancy category X  
🗑
Common side-effect of anticoagulants   bruising, bleeding  
🗑
Common side-effect of ACE inhibitors   headache, cough, taste disturbance...Adverse-angioedema..watch potassium  
🗑
Common side-effect/adverse of beta blockers   3-B's-bradycardia, bronchospasm, blood sugar changes (hypo, hyper, or mask symptoms.  
🗑
Common side-effect of calcium channel blockers   C.C.B>-Cabeza dolor (head-ache), constipation, bradycardia.  
🗑
Common side-effect/adverse effects of loop diuretics   Hypokalemia  
🗑
Cardiac Glycoside medication   digoxin  
🗑
Side-effects of digoxin toxicity   nausea/vomiting/visual disturbances  
🗑
Standard nursing assessment prior to digoxin administration   Apical pulse for one full minute  
🗑
List 2 anticoagulants that affect clotting cascade   Heparin and Warfarin(Coumidin)  
🗑
Coumidin antidote   Vitamin K ( labs-PT-INR)  
🗑
Heparin antidote   PMS-protamine sulfate (labs-PTT)  
🗑
Aldactone   aldosterone inhibitor -potassium sparing diuretic  
🗑
List 2 anti-plateles   Aspirin, clopidogrel(Plavix)  
🗑
Antianginals   Decrease angina by dilating arteries and veins  
🗑
Anticoagulants and anti platelet   prevent the formation of clots  
🗑
Thrombolytics   Dissolve blood clots  
🗑
Antifibrinolytic   Help form clots  
🗑
Hematopoietic   Stimulate the growth of blood cells  
🗑
Dysrhythmias   Heart rhythm irregularities  
🗑
Cardiac glycoside   Drug made up of sugars that strengthens the hearts contractility. Example digoxin  
🗑
Bile acid sequestrates   Drugs that lower cholesterol by forming complexes with bile acids and thus cause the over to make more bile acids from cholesterol. Example:cholestramine (Question)  
🗑
Fibric acid derivatives   Drugs that lower triglycerides levels by inhibiting the liver from producing VLDL clofibrate, fenofibric (endings have fibric fibrate"  
🗑
Signs of anaphylactic shock   Difficulty breathing , bronchoconstriction, decreased cardiac output, edema, increased heart rate, hives, itching and vasodilation. Tx-epi pen  
🗑
