COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS
◉ Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Answer: The
medication that helps the imbalance between myocardial oxygen
supply and myocardial oxygen demand in the myocardium by
increasing the myocardial oxygen supply
◉ improves insulin sensitivity
improves renal hemodynamics
reduce production of angiotensin II. Answer: Roles of Angiotensin-
converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in DM patients
◉ Activation of the sympathetic nervous system that increases heart
rate and preload. Answer: The pathological change that takes place
in HF that is not addressed by ACE inhibitors
◉ blunted coronary artery dilation due to calcified plaque. Answer:
Reason why nitro glycerin tablets "do not work well" in patient with
hyperlipidemia and angina age
, ◉ factoring in the cost to the patient of the medication prescribed.
Answer: Clinical judgement in prescribing includes
◉ decreased renal function. Answer: Prior to prescribing an ACE
inhibitor the NP should access for
◉ statins. Answer: First-line pharmacologic therapy for
hyperlipidemia
◉ Any end-organ damage, direct effects on lifestyle, or inability to
perform the tasks of daily living. Answer: When is consultation with
or referral to a cardiologist appropriate?
◉ Diuretics. Answer: If not chosen as the first drug in hypertension
treatment, which drug class should be added as a second step
because it will enhance the effects of most other agents?
◉ Determine their other risk factors. Answer: A 65-year-old patient
who has been on a lipid-lowering diet and is using plant sterol
margarine daily for the past three months. Her LDL is 135mg/dL.
What would an appropriate treatment for them be?
◉ promote smooth muscle dilation by stopping intracellular entry of
calcium into the cell, which increases contractility, which increase
