NUR 2571 / NUR2571 Professional Nursing II Exam 3 | Module 6/7/8| Questions and Answers | Latest 2021/2022 | Rasmussen College Module 8 – Sensory Perception Medications:  Anticoagulants- Blood thinners that prevent or reduce coagulation of blood, or also known for prolonging the clotting time. Some of the labs to monitor. Heparin - ptt, coumadin- pt/inr. *If pt is scheduled for surgery always educate them to stop blood thinners 7 days prior.*  Analgesics- medication used to treat pain. If it's a narcotic make sure you're counting respiration. hold if respiration 12. monitor pain level prior and after administration. ex. Oxy, Narco, Tramadol, etc.  Prostaglandin Agonists- reduce IOP by increasing outflow of aqueous humor through trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral routes. Used to reduce IOP in open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Medications ends in PROST.  Adrenergic Agonists- produced an immediate decrease in intraocular pressure without causing ocular hypertension or mydriasis. (Apraclonidine, Brimonidine tartrate, Dipivefrin hydrochloride) ENDS in IDINE  Beta-Adrenergic Agonists- They appear to work by reducing the production of fluid in the eye. This lowers the pressure in the eyes. Ends in OLOL  Cholinergic Agonist (Miotic)- These medications reduce eye pressure by increasing the drainage of intraocular fluid through the trabecular meshwork. Cholinergic can be used alone or combined with other glaucoma medications. A combination of medications can help control how much fluid is produced in the eye and increase the amount of fluid that drains out of the eye. (Carbachol- Carboptic, Isopto, Echothiophate- Phospholine iodide, Pilocarpine- Adsorbocarpine, Akarpine)  Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors- are IOP-lowering sulfonamide derivatives which inhibit the activity of CA in the ciliary processes of the eye, thus reducing aqueous humor formation and consequently decreasing IOP. (Brinzolamide, Dorzolamide)  systemic osmotic drugs- Osmotic diuretics are large-molecular-weight molecules that increase the osmotic pressure of plasma relative to the aqueous and vitreous. Most of the water in the eye is in the vitreous. Dehydration of the vitreous allows the lens and iris to move posteriorly, opening the iridocorneal angle. The other effect is to decrease formation of aqueous humor. glycerol and mannitol Assessment Findings (Subjective, Objective, Lab, Diagnostics) and Interventions (Assess, Do, Give, Teach) for: Refractive Errors Hyperopia- farsightedness- see distance ok, have trouble seeing up close. Myopia- nearsightedness- read ok close to you but don’t see things that far away. Astigmatism- unevenly curved surfaces on cornea distorts vision, makes it blurred and hard to correct need to use glasses and few contacts can solve this problem. Presbyopia- age related functional changes, increase front size on computer. Start mid-40s. corrected by contact lens or glasses.
