STUDYGUIDE
What will the nurse need to monitor when
administering spironolactone?
hyperkalemia
Spironolactone
potassium sparing diuretic
What levels need to monitored with heparin?
aPPT/PPT
Heparin
Anticoagulant
What levels need to be monitored with warfarin?
INR: (2.0-3.0 normal for people on warfarin)
-measures bleeding
signs of digitalis toxicity
apical pulse of 42 (low) and an irregular rate+ N/V,
headache, blurred visiom
digoxin
cardiac glycoside
Digoxin MOA
-inhibit Na/K+ ATPase
-increase force of cardiac contraction and cardiac output
-decrease ventricular rate
digitalis antitode
digoxin immune fab
digitalis toxicity
, -nausea/vomiting
-blurred vision
-headaches
normal range for digoxin
0.5-1.0 ng/mL
which skeletal muscle adverse reaction should the
nurse observe for in a patient taking atorvastatin?
Rhabdomyolysis
Atorvastatin
Antihyperlimidemic: HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor
PO Anticoagulant
Warfarin
Most prevalent side effect of Lisinopril (ACE inhibitor)
Constant, irritating cough
Clopidogrel
Antiplatelet: (inhibits platelet aggregation and prevent
ADP)
-prevents clots!!!
What does the nurse include in the teaching for a
patient taking clopidogrel?
bleeding may increase when taking aspirin
Which antihypertensive drugs are NOT as effective in
african american population?
beta blockers and ACE inhibitors
an angiotensisn II receptor blocker acts by doing what
blocking angiotensin II from angiotensin I receptors
beta blockers should not be....
stopped suddenly
antidote for heparin
protamine sulfate
