• Hypertension.
Answer: 2 or more readings on 2 or more occasions
• SYMPATHETIC nervous system.
Answer: Also known as adrenergic system
• EPINEPHRINE & NOREPINEPHRINE.
Answer: Neurotransmitters in the sympathetic nervous system
• Reasons of hypertension vasoconstriction.
Answer: too much fluid
• ADRENERGIC AGONISTS.
Answer: Drugs that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system
• risk factors for hypertension alcohol obesity.
Answer: excessive intake of saturated fats and simple carbs
• ALPHA-1.
Answer: Receptor in blood vessels, bladder, eyes, prostate
• ALPHA-2.
Answer: Receptor in nerve endings
• BETA-1.
Answer: Receptor in heart mainly, also kidneys
• BETA-2.
Answer: Receptor in smooth muscles of lungs, GI tract, uterus
• EPINEPHRINE.
Answer: Adrenergic agonist that increases BP, dilates pupils, relaxes urinary
bladder, contracts prostate, increases HR, and bronchodilates
,• HYPERGLYCEMIA.
Answer: Effect of epinephrine on a patient with diabetes
• stage 1 nonpharmacological control of hypertension exercise/weight loss
salt reduction decreased alcohol ingestion smoking cessation.
Answer: stress-reduction techniques
• HYPERTENSION.
Answer: Effect of epinephrine on a patient with a past CVA
• TACHYCARDIA HYPERTENSION PALPITATIONS DYSRHYTHMIAS
TREMORS DIZZINESS REDUCED URINE OUTPUT.
Answer: ADR of epinephrine that should be reported to the PCP
• types of antihypertensive drugs beta blockers alpha blockers calcium
channel blockers ACE inhibitors ARB's.
Answer: diuretics
• -INSPECT FOR PARTICLES OR DISCOLORATION -INJECT
SUBCUTANEOUSLY -HOLD IN PLACE FOR 5-10 SECONDS -INSERT
INTO THE OUTER THIGH -MASSAGE FOR INJECTION SITE FOR 10
SECONDS.
Answer: Patient education for EpiPen administration
• ADRENERGIC ANTAGONISTS.
Answer: Drugs that block the effects of the adrenergic system
• when NOT to give a beta blocker.
Answer: if pt has respiratory issues such as COPD or Asthma
• beta blockers end in.
Answer: -olol
• ADRENERGIC ANTAGONISTS.
Answer: Drugs that promote vasodilation which causes a drop in BP. This
can result in orthostatic hypotension
• Examples of beta blockers propanolol - (non-selective) beta 1 & beta 2.
, Answer: metoprolol - (more selective) beta 1
• Non-selective beta blocker.
Answer: Propranolol
• DIZZINESS.
Answer: Can be a symptom of a decrease in BP
• Selective beta blocker.
Answer: metoprolol
• BETA BLOCKERS.
Answer: Also known as Beta-adrenergic blockers
• action of beta blockers.
Answer: blocks the adrenergic affect which lowers BP & HR
• indications of beta blockers anti-dysrhythmic anti-angina.
Answer: hypertension
• DECREASE HR, DECREASE CONTRACTILITY,
BRONCHOCONSTRICTION, CONTRACTUTERUS, STOP
GLYCOGENOLYSIS.
Answer: Effects of Beta-blockers (non-selective) on the body
• PARASYMPATHETIC nervous system.
Answer: Also called the cholinergic system
• S/E of beta blockers dizziness drowsiness.
Answer: fatigue
• BETA-BLOCKER (SELECTIVE).
Answer: IT IS MORE SELECTIVE FOR JUST THE BETA-1 RECEPTOR
AND LESS SELECTIVE FOR THE BETA-2 RECEPTOR. SO IT
SHOULD ONLY GIVE THE BETA-1 BLOCKING EFFECTS AND NOT
CAUSE ANY BRONCHOCONSTRICTION.
• ADR of beta blockers hypotension bronchospasm.
Answer: bradycardia
