Q

are central acting SNS inhibitors ok for pregnancy?

A

no

31
Q

what is the action of central acting SNS inhibitors?

A

stimulates alpha 2 receptors into the CNS which leads to decreased of NE release (NE typically vasoconstricts but it is inhibited with helps decreases BP)

32
Q

what are direct renin inhibitors used for?

A

HTN

33
Q

what does ARBs stand for?

A

angiotensin II receptor blockers

34
Q

why do beta-blockers potentially cause bronchoconstriction?

A

nonselective beta-blockers work on beta 1 and beta 2, beta 2 is on the lungs which can cause bronchoconstriction so be careful with pts with lung disease

35
Q

what are the side effects associated with central acting SNS inhibitors?

A
  • dry mouth
  • rebound HTN
  • vivid dreams
  • behavior changes
36
Q

what medication can cause thrombocytopenia?

A

alpha and beta-blockades

37
Q

what is the benefit of diuretics treating HTN?

A

cheap and effective

38
Q

what is the name of the drug that is a direct renin inhibitor?

A

tekturna

39
Q

what are the adverse effects associated with alpha1 adrenergic blockers?

A
  • orthostatic hypotension
  • dizziness
  • abnormal ejaculation
  • nasal congestion
40
Q

what is the ending for alpha1 adrenergic blockers?

A

-osin

41
Q

what diuretic is typically the 1st line of treatment for HTN?

A

thiazide diuretics

42
Q

what is the action of mixed alpha and beta blockades?

A
  • decrease peripheral resistance

- reduces plasma renin and aldosterone levels

43
Q

To lower BP, you should always start with …

A

diet, exercise, stress management

44
Q

what is the place of the action for alpha and beta-blockades?

A

heart and kidneys

45
Q

  • angina
  • cardiac dysrhythmias
47
Q

are calcium channel blockers used as 1st line treatment for HTN?

A

yes

48
Q

what is the action of ace inhibitors?

blocks angiotensin 1 from converting angiotensin 2

49
Q

do ARBs work well on the black population?

-olol

51
Q

vasodilators are typically used as …

A

adjunct therapy

52
Q

labetalol is an alpha and beta-blockade, what is it used for? what route?

A

used on uncontrolled BP

  • often used only in the hospital

- loss of electrolytes (K+, NA+, and Cl+)

58
Q

what is the name of the cardioselective beta-blockers? what receptors do they work on?

A

metoprolol and atenolol

- block only beta 1

59
Q

what is the action of calcium channel blockers?

A

reduce blood volume and arterial resistance

66
Q

coreg is an alpha and beta-blockade, what is it used for?

A

HF

67
Q

what is the action of vasodilators?

A

relax arteriolar smooth muscle leading to arteriolar dilation and a decrease peripheral resistance

68
Q
