Question
Answer
SSRI Action   Decrease the reuptake of serotonion at select nerve terminals in CNS. Also have weak uptake on Norepienpherine and Dopamine Increase availability of serotonin at receptors = mood elevation, reduced anxiety  
🗑
SSRI Uses   Mild to Moderate Depression, Obsessive-compulsive disorder, Panic Disorder  
🗑
SSRI Contra   Hypersensitivity to SSRIs, Concurrent use of MAO inhibitors  
🗑
SSRI Caution   Zoloft may cause delusional and aggressive behavior  
🗑
SSRI Side effects   Insomnia, anxiety, Palpitations, h/a Dyspepsia, Diarrhea, tremor, excessive sweating  
🗑
Nursing Implications   1. Monitor Liver function while taking drug 2. Check the client's history for possible seizure disorders due to lower seizure threshold 3. Don't give with MAO inhibitors 4. Do not abruptly stop med, must be gradual.  
🗑
MAO Inhibitor Action   Inhibits monoamine oxidase, enzyme involved in metabolism of amines, ie, epineperine, noreprineprine, tryamine, seratonin. MAO increase these transmitter = reduce depression For depression thought to be due to low noreprineprine and dopamine  
🗑
MAO Inhibitor Uses   Relieves s/s of manic depression, clinical depression and psychosis. For severe depression in patients who don't respond to other treatment.  
🗑

🗑

🗑
Tricyclic Antidepressants Action   Decrease the reabsorption of norepinepherine, & seratonin, which allows more of neurotransmitters to be available at postsynaptic receptors.  
🗑
Tricyclic Antidepressants Uses   Endogenous, reactive depression Depression related to alcohol or cocaine withdrawal Reserved for patients who don't respond well to other antibiotics  
🗑
Tricyclic Antidepressants Contras   Acute recovery of Myocardial ischemia or Severe CAD Hyperthyroidism  
🗑
Tricyclic Antidepressants Side effects   Sedation, orthostatic hypotension, arrhythmias Cholinergic effects: dry moth, h/a, urinary retention  
🗑
Tricyclic Antidepressants Nursing Implications   1. Older patients are more susceptible to morning orthostatic hypotension. 2. Adminster at bedtime 3. Advise client to stop smoking 4. Teach client to avoid alcohol  
🗑
Antihistamines Action   Competitively block H1-receptor sites on effector cells and impede histamine regulate response.  
🗑
Antihistamines Uses   Prevent and treat allergic reaction Allergic transfusion reaction Motion sickness and insomnia Used with epinephrine in the management of aniphalxis  
🗑
Antihistamines Contra   Sensitivity to antihistamines  
🗑
Antihistamines Precautions   History of acute asthmatic problems, pregnancy and lactation, Urinary obstruction, Glaucoma  
🗑
Antihistamines Side Effects   Benadryl: Sedation, disturbed coordination, epigastric distress, thickening of bronchial secretions, dry mouth, drowsy, oral use only Vistaril: Drowsiness, dry mouth, hypotension, potentiates narcotics & barbituates Antivert: Drowsy, dry mouth, oral onl  
🗑
Broncodialators Action   Beta2-Selective adrenergic agonists. Sympathomimetic agents relax the beta2-receptors to relax smooth muscle in bronchials, producing dilation  
🗑
Broncodialators Uses   Short acting, preparations to treat exacerbation of asthma. Short term relief of bronchoconstriction due to bronchitis or emphysema  
🗑
Broncodialators Contras   Cardiovascular disease, thyroid disease, DM Lactation, sensitivity, seizure disorders  
🗑
Broncodialators Precautions   Sensitivity to sympathomemtics Terbualine: Not given to kids under 12 y.o.  
🗑
Diuretics Action   Loop Diuretics: Inhibit Na and Cl reabsorption through direct action primarily in the ascending loop of Henle but also in proximal and distal tubules. Thiazide Diuretics: Act primarily on the distal tubules, inhibit Na and Cl  
🗑
Diuretics Uses   Treat edema that involves fluid volume excess resulting from a number of disorders of the heart, liver and kidney  
🗑
Diuretics Contras   Hypersensitivity to sulfonmides Severe adrenocortical impairment, anuria, progressive oliguria Fluid and electrolyte depletion  
🗑
Diuretics Precautions   Hepatic cirrhosis and coma Renal dysfunction Bronchial Asthma  
🗑
Diuretics Side effects   Unusual Tiredness, weakness and dizziness Irregular Heart Beat, weak pulse, orthostatic hypotension Tinnitus, hearing loss (lasix)  
🗑
Hypertension Classifications   Blood Pressure is regulated by cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance. Medications that influence CO or PVR lead to contol of BP  
🗑
What systems regulate cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance and blood pressure?   Vascular, Cardiac, and Renal and the Sympathetic Nervous System Antihypertensive drugs that influence these systems to lower the BP are ACE inhibitors, beta-adrenergic blockers and calcium channel blockers  
🗑
Diuretics Uses   Treat edema that involves fluid volume excess resulting from a number of disorders of the heart, liver and kidney  
🗑
Diuretics Contras   Hypersensitivity to sulfonmides Severe adrenocortical impairment, anuiria, progressive oliguria Fluid and electrolyte depletion  
🗑
Diuretics Precautions   Hepatic cirrhosis and coma Renal dysfunction Bronchial Asthma  
🗑
Diuretics Side effects   Unusual Tiredness, weakness and dizziness Irregular Heart Beat, weak pulse, orthostatic hypotension Tinnitus, hearing loss (lasix)  
🗑
Hypertension Classifications   Blood Pressure is regulated by cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance. Medications that influence CO or PVR lead to contol of BP  
🗑
What systems regulate cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance and blood pressure?   Vascular, Cardiac, and Renal and the Sympathetic Nervous System  
🗑
ACE inhibitors (Antihypertensive) Actions   Block the conversion of angiotensis 1 to angiotensin 11, a vasoconstrictor. This block causes vasodialation and therefore decreases PVR, resulting in a decrease in BP. Aldosterone is also blocked, causing decrease in sodium and water retention.  
🗑
Beta blockers (Antihypertensive) Actions   Prevent sympathetic stimulation of the heart, thereby reducing heart rate contractility.  
🗑
Calcium Channel Blockers (Antihypertensive) Actions   Block calcium influx into the beta-receptors, decrease the force of the myocardial contraction, reduce the heart rate, and decrease PVR  
🗑
Antihypertensive Uses   Mild to Moderate essential hypertension Frequently in combination either as separate drugs or in combination with other drugs Beta-adrenergic Blockers are among the most widely used  
🗑
Examples of Beta Blockers   Inderal Tenormin Lopressor Corgard  
🗑
Actions of Beta Blockers   Blocks the sympathetic nervous system catecholamines, resulting from reduced renin and aldosterone release and fluid balance. Vasodialation of arterioles leads to decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance and BP  
🗑
Uses of Beta Blockers   Hypertension, antianginal agents in long-term treatment of angina Dysrhythmias-suppress sinus and atrial tachydysrythmias  
🗑
Beta Blockers Contras   Preganacy and Lactation  
🗑
Beta Blockers Precautions   Can Cause Brachioconstriction, use caution with DM, thyrotoxicosis, cerrebrovascular insufficency, renal and hepatic dysfunction  
🗑

🗑
Nitroglycerin classification   Nitrate vasodialtor  
🗑
Nitroglycerin Action   Relaxes vascular (arterial and venous) with more prominent effects on veins, which decrease preload. Arteriolar relaxation reduces systematic vascular resistance, which decreases afterload  
🗑
Nitroglycerin Uses   Relief of anginal pain In conjunction with beta blockers or calcium channel blockers suppress tachycardia  
🗑

🗑
Digitalis Classification   Cardiac Glycoside  
🗑
Digitalis Action   Affects mechanical & electrial action of the heart which increase myocardial contractility. Alters the electrical activity of the noncontractile tissues & ventricular muscle (eg automatically, refractoriness, and impulse conduction) Inhibits Na-K ATPase  
🗑
Digitalis Uses   Heart Failure--Improve Cardiac Output Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter  
🗑
