Pharmacology Exam 1 Ivy Tech question
and answer
Ace Inhibitors - correct answercaptopril (Capoten)
lisinopril (Prinivil)
enalapril (Vasotec)
ramipril (Altace)
Ace Inhibitor Action - correct answerAction
Blocks conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, leading to a
decrease in blood pressure, a decrease in aldosterone production, a
small increase in serum potassium, and sodium and fluid loss.
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) - correct answerlosartan
(Cozaar)
valsartan (Diovan)
irbesartan (Avapro)
candesartan (Atacand)
olmesartan (Benicar)
ARBS Action - correct answerBinds with angiotensin II receptors to
block vasoconstriction and the release of aldosterone lowering blood
pressure.
Calcium Channel Blockers (Antihypertensives) - correct
answerdiltiazem (Cardizem)
verapamil (Calan)
nifedipine (Procardia)
amlodipine (Norvasc)
Calcium Channel Blockers Action - correct answerInhibits the
movement of calcium ions into cardiac and arterial muscle cells,
leading to decreased myocardial contractility, slowed conduction, and
, dilation of arteries, lowering blood pressure and decreasing
myocardial oxygen consumption.
Vasodilators - correct answernitroprusside
hydralazine
Vasodilators Action - correct answerAct directly on vascular smooth
muscle leading to vasodilatation and a decrease in blood pressure.
Renin Inhibitor - correct answeraliskiren (Tekturna)
Types of Diuretics and Sites of Action - correct answerThiazide and
thiazide-like
-Distal tubule
Loop
-Loop of Henle
Osmotic
-Proximal tubule
Potassium-Sparring
-Collecting tubule
Nonselective Adrenergic Blocking Agents - correct answerlabetalol
(Trandate)
carvedilol (Coreg)
Nonselective Adrenergic Blocking Agents Action - correct
answerBlock both alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors throughout
the SNS, resulting in decreased blood pressure and heart rate and
increased renal perfusion.
Alpha1-Selective Adrenergic Blocking Agents - correct
answerprazosin (Minipress)
doxazosin (Cardura)
terazosin (Hytrin)
and answer
