Q:l Angiotensinl IIl Receptorl Blockersl (ARBs)
Answer:
-l endl inl '-sartan'l (orl '-tan')
-l ex.l Valsartan
Q:l ARBsl action
Answer:
-l similarl effectl tol ACE-Il w/l outl dryl cough
-l Inhibitsl bindingl ofl angiotensinl IIl tol itsl receptor
-l Inhibitsl actionl ofl angiotensinl IIl andl inhibitsl thel releasel ofl aldosteronel (=releasel
sodiuml andl waterl -l holdl onl tol potassium)
Q:l ARBsl interactions
Answer:
-l Otherl anti-hypertensives
-l Alcohol
-l NSAIDSl canl increasel renall dysfunction/hyperkalemial (acetaminophenl betterl choice)
-l OTCl coldl medicine
Q:l Biggestl differencel betweenl ACE-Isl andl ARBs?
,Answer:
-l nol naggingl dryl coughl w/l ARBs
Q:l ACE-Il andl A2RBl canl increasel riskl for
Answer:
-l renall failure
Q:l Anti-hypertensivesl nursingl interventions
Answer:
-l Monitorl vitall signsl includingl BPl &l heartl ratel onl betal blockersl andl calciuml channell
blockers
-l Monitorl forl signsl andl symptomsl ofl electrolytel imbalancel withl ACEI,l A2RB
-l Alphal andl betal blockersl canl takel severall weeksl forl fulll effects
-l Monitorl forl peripherall edemal withl alphal &l betal blockersl andl calciuml channell
blockers
-l Dramaticl (marked)l dropl inl BPl shouldl bel reported!

-l Hypotension,l orthostaticl hypotension
•Hyperglycemial (overl time...)
Q:l Hydrochlorothiazidel interaction
Answer:
-l Remember:l Increasedl digoxinl toxicityl withl hypokalemia
Q:l Furosemide
Answer:
-l loopl diuretic
-l depletesl alll electrolytes:l K,l Na,l Mg,l Ca
