Airway - ANSWER✅Priority assessment for drug-related emergencies.
Breathing - ANSWER✅Second priority in drug-related emergencies.
Circulation - ANSWER✅Third priority in drug-related emergencies.
, Safety - ANSWER✅Fourth priority in drug-related emergencies.
Teaching - ANSWER✅Fifth priority in drug-related emergencies.
ACE inhibitors - ANSWER✅Lower angiotensin II, causing vasodilation, less
aldosterone, lower blood pressure, and less workload on the heart.
Key side effects of ACE inhibitors - ANSWER✅Dry cough, hypotension, hyperkalemia,
headache.
Dangerous adverse effect of ACE inhibitors - ANSWER✅Angioedema.
Nursing interventions for ACE inhibitors - ANSWER✅Check BP, potassium,
BUN/creatinine, and assess for facial or tongue swelling.
Patient education for ACE inhibitors - ANSWER✅Change positions slowly, avoid
potassium supplements and salt substitutes unless prescribed.
ARBs - ANSWER✅Block angiotensin II receptors, causing vasodilation and less
aldosterone.
Key side effects of ARBs - ANSWER✅Dizziness, headache, hypotension, diarrhea,
fatigue.
Dangerous adverse effects of ARBs - ANSWER✅Angioedema, hyperkalemia, renal
failure, fetal harm.
Beta blockers - ANSWER✅Slow heart rate, decrease contractility, lower BP, lower
myocardial oxygen demand.
Key side effects of beta blockers - ANSWER✅Fatigue, dizziness, weakness, insomnia,
sexual dysfunction.
Dangerous adverse effects of beta blockers - ANSWER✅Bradycardia, AV block,
hypotension, bronchospasm.
Calcium channel blockers - ANSWER✅Relax vascular smooth muscle; some also slow
conduction through the AV node.
Key side effects of calcium channel blockers - ANSWER✅Hypotension, dizziness,
edema, constipation with verapamil.
