Thera - antidiabetics, hormones | Pharma - pancreatics
26
Indications of Humalog
Control of hyperglycemia in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus
27
Action of Humalog
- Lower blood glucose by: stimulating glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and fat, inhibiting hepatic glucose production. - Other actions: inhibition of lipolysis and proteolysis, enhanced protein synthesis
28
Onset, peak, and duration of Humalog
Onset - 15 - 30 min Peak - .5 - 1.5 Duration - 3 - 5 *these values were from the skills and technologies textbook...I hope they're the right ones because every resource says something different...
29
Nursing implications for Humalog
- Assess for symptoms of hypoglycemia
30

Thera - hormones | Pharma - pancreatics
31
Indications of Lantus
Control of hyperglycemia in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
32
Action of Lantus
- Lowers blood glucose by : stimulating glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and fat, inhibiting hepatic glucose production. - Other actions of insulin: inhibition of lipolysis and proteolysis, enhanced protein synthesis.
33
Onset, peak, and duration of Lantus
Onset - 1.5 hour Peak - None identified Duration - Greater than 24 *These values were also taken from the skills and technology textbook...
34
Nursing implications of Lantus
- Assess for symptoms of hypoglycemia
35
Classification of Warfarin (thera and pharma)
Thera - anticoagulants | Pharma - coumarins
36
Indications of Warfarin
- Prophylaxis and treatment of: venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, atrial fibrillation with embolization. - Management of myocardial infarction: decreases risk of death, decreases risk of subsequent MI, decreases risk of future thromboembolic events.
37
Action of Warfarin
Interferes with hepatic synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors
38
Onset, peak, and duration of Warfarin
Onset - 36–72 hr Peak - 5–7 days Duration - 2–5 days
39
Nursing implication of Warfarin
Assess for signs of bleeding and hemorrhage
40

Indications of Ramipril
- Alone or with other agents in the management of hypertension. - Reduction of risk of MI, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes in patients at least 55 years of age who are at high risk of developing a major cardiovascular event
42
Action of Ramipril
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors block the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II
43
Onset, peak, and duration of Ramipril
Onset - 1–2 hr Peak - 3–6 hr Duration - 24 hr
44
Nursing implication of Ramipril
Monitor BP and pulse frequently during initial dose adjustment and periodically during therapy
