Nursing Pharmacology II Cardiac Drug Charts & Study Guide

Pass your nursing Pharmacology II class with the help of these detailed/organized drug charts and notes - created by a straight A nursing student. These notes/charts were very helpful for myself and friends in my current nursing cohort and I hope they can help you better understand/learn these drugs too! I still use these charts throughout later nursing courses and clinical care plans! This set of drugs includes 32 pages with charts on 24+ drugs used to treat Blood Pressure, Heart Failure, Arrhythmias, and Angina + Lipid Lowering Agents and Drugs that affect Coagulation. Each drug discusses the prototype + other drugs in the class, indications, actions, "PK" (pharmacokinetics), contraindications, adverse reactions, drug interactions, and important nursing considerations. Helpful mnemonics/pictures and detailed notes are also included throughout the document to make remembering information a little easier.
