Q
  1. Prinzmetal angina comes with ST elevation because?

2. ST elevation is what also shows up when a patient is having a ____ ?

A

blood flow is totally cut off

MI

17
Q

What does STEMI stand for?

A

ST elevated MI

18
Q

How should a nurse teach a patient taking nitroglycerine to position themselves and why?

A

Sit or lie down before taking because it will work really quickly and drop blood pressure.

19
Q

Why is nitroglycerine dissolved under the tongue?

A

To avoid first pass metabolism.

20
Q

What happens if nitroglycerine doesn’t relieve the pain in 5 minutes?

A

Take another one

21
Q

Nitroglycerine is indicated for Q5M. How many doses can be taken?

22
Q

Ways that nitro can be administered? (5)

A 
Sublingual tabs
Translingual spray
oral capsules SR
transdermal patch
topical ointment
23
Q

Can you crush isosorbide mononitrate?

24
Q

How long does isosorbide mononitrate last?

25
Q

What kind of drug is isosorbide mononitrate?

26
Q

MOA of nitrates:

A

reduces cardiac oxygen demand by decreasing left ventricular pressure and preload

27
Q

Discuss why a client might take nitroglycerin prior to a stressful event.

A

Rapid-acting preparations also can be used for acute prophylaxis of angina. For this purpose, they are taken just before anticipated exertion

28
Q

Identify which clients might benefit from a long acting or transdermal nitrate:

A

These would be for someone looking to prevent an angina episode. These are not for an acute attack.

29
Q

Because sublingual administration of nitroglycerine works fast, this route is ideal for (2):

A
  1. Terminating an ongoing attack and

2. Short-term prophylaxis when exertion is anticipated.

30
Q

Effects of sublingual nitroglycerin begin rapidly—in ___ to ___ minutes—and persist up to __ hour.

A

1-3

1 hour

31
Q

By lowering the blood pressure, nitroglycerin can activate what reflex?

A

baroreceptor reflex,

32
Q

By lowering the blood pressure, nitroglycerin can activate baroreceptor reflex causing:

A

(reflex tachycardia) sympathetic stimulation of the heart

33
Q

What can prevent the reflex tachycardia response that comes with nitroglycerine:

A

Pretreatment with a beta-blocker or verapamil can prevent

34
Q

How does increasing time spent in diastole help the client with angina?

A

It increases the time blood flows through myocardial vessels.

35
Q

What is the goal heart rate when administering a beta blocker?

A

50-60 beats per minute

36
Q

Why cant you use beta blockers to treat prinzmetal angina?

A

Because it involves coronary vasospasm and beta blockers can make that worse.

37
Q

Adverse effects of isosorbide mononitrate?

A

Headache (50%),
Orthostasis,
Flushing (esp the face),
Dizziness

38
Q

Nitroglycerine can be taken every ___ minutes

39
Q

Nitrates have interactions with drugs containing:

A

PDE 5 (The enzyme that breaks down cGmp)
