Captopril (Capoten), an ACE
inhibitor, is considered a first-line
hypertensive therapy for clients
with what metabolic disorder?
Diabetes
Persistent dry cough is a
common adverse effect of
this class of
antihypertensives
ACE Inhibitors
Peripheral vascular resistance
represents which component
of the BP measurement?
Which Autonomic Nervous
System antihypertensives
potently reduce PVR?
Diastolic BP
-Alpha1 Blockers
-Alpha2 Agonists
Name 5 Classifications of
First Line
Antihypertensive Drugs
ARBs
ACE-I
Beta Blockers
CCBs
Thiazide Diuretics
In addition to decreasing
blood pressure, what is an
expected outcome after the
administration of a betablocker like metoprolol?
Decreased heart
rate/pulse
What is the difference
between the diuretics
spironolactone
(Aldactone) and
furosemide (Lasix)?
Spironolactone is a
potassium sparing
diuretic. It is
contraindicated in
renal failure.
What is the name of
a commonly used
osmotic diuretic?
How does it work?
Mannitol
Draws fluid out of the
interstitial space by
creating a pressure
gradient.
Furosemide (Lasix)
acts on this
structure in the
nephron.
Ascending Loop of
Henle. Known as a
Loop Diuretic.
Which electrolyte
imbalance can
precipitate digoxin
toxicity?
Hypokalemia
Which diuretics lose
their effectiveness with
ESRD and GFR
(glomerular filtration
rate) < 30 mL/min
Thiazides
Which drug is most
effective in reducing
most major types of
dyslipidemia?
HMG-CoA
reductase
inhibitors
What is a common
adverse effect
associated with
nicotinic acid
(niacin)?
Flushing
Which laboratory value
should be assessed
regularly in clients taking
fluvastatin (Lescol)?
Liver Function
Tests
Lipitor 20 mg is ordered.
The medication is
available in 10 mg tablets.
How much will you give
for a single dose?
2 tablets
The goal of antilipemic
drug therapy is to
reduce this type of
cholesterol.
LDL and VLDL
Excessive bleeding resulting
from the administration of
heparin is treated with which
of the following substances?
Protamine sulfate
People taking warfarin
(Coumadin) should
minimize foods high in
this vitamin. What types
of foods does this include?
Vitamin K
Green leafy
vegetables
Your 73-year-old client receiving
warfarin (Coumadin) has blood in
his urinary drainage bag this
morning. After reporting your
observations to the physician, you
could expect to administer which
medication?
Vitamin K
This laboratory tests measures the
efficacy of warfarin.
INR
The class of medications
that dissolve clots. Name 2
conditions where these
drugs are indicated.
Thrombolytic agents
are indicated for
acute MI and
ischemic (embolic)
stroke.
The two determinants of
cardiac output.
CO = HR x SV
SV = preload,
afterload,
contracility
A serious
complication of
atrial fibrillation.
Embolism
The mechanism of
action of nitroglycerin.
Relaxation of smooth
muscle:
Decreases BP,
preload, and cardiac
workload.
It is important to
monitor drug levels
of this cardiac
glycoside in order
to prevent toxicity.
Digoxin
All antidysrhythmic drugs
have the potential
to cause this
adverse effect.
Dysrhythmias

The number of
Canadians with
Hypertension in
Canada
6 Million Canadians have
HTN in Canada
(2007/2008)
