Q

glomerular filtration in detail

A

arterial blood enters glomerulus via afferent arteriole; blood is coming in in high pressure pushing water, electrolytes and other solutes out -> bowmans capsule -> proximal tubule; GFR 125 ml/min; blood leaves the glomerulus via efferent arteriole

25
nephron
kidneys has millions
26

28
conditions requiring diuretic agents/ alters in renal function

30
types of edema
dependent edema, pulmonary edema (in the lungs), anasarca (massive generalized edema)
31
T or F. Edema occurs only when the heart no longer functions efficiently
false; edema is the excessive accumulation of fluid in body tissues. it is the symptom of many disease processes and may occur in any part of the body
32
diuretics do what
increase renal secretion of water, sodium, and other electrolytes (increase urine formation and output)
33
5 classes of diuretics

34
example of loop diuretic

example of osmotic diuretic
mannitol
38
example of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
acetazolamide (act in proximal convoluted tubule)
39
principles of therapy diuretics
drug selection and dosing depend on the patients condition; loop diuretic is preferred when rapid diuretic effect is necessary or when renal impairment is present; potassium sparing diuretic may be used concurrently to prevent or manage hypokalemia
40
pharmacokinetics of loop diuretic

41
mechanism of action of loop diuretic
inhibit Na+/ Cl- reabsorption, work in ascending loop of henle, produce significant fluid loss

43
adverse effects of loop diuretics

44
contraindications of loop diuretics
anuria, allergy to sulfonamides
45
drug-drug interactions of loop diuretics
ahminoglycosides, cephalosporins, corticosteroids, digoxin
46
drug-drug interactions of loop diuretics
ahminoglycosides, cephalosporins, corticosteroids, digoxin
47
nursing implications of loop diuretics
**slow push 20mg/min, check labs: Na, K, baseline/ daily weight, accurate I & Os, monitor vitals (watch for hypotension)
48
patient teaching about loop diuretics
low Na diet, high K diet, record daily weight, change position slowly, take in morning
49
thiazide & thiazide like diuretics pharmacokinetics
PO
50
mechanism of action of thiazide & thiazide like diuretics
decreases reabsorption of Na, Cl, H2O, HCO3, in the distal convoluted tubule
51
uses of thiazide & thiazide like diuretics
first line tx of HTN, edema associated with CHF or nephrotic syndrome, or pts with renal impairment
52
adverse effects of thiazide & thiazide like diuretics
hypotension, dizzy, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, diarrhea, weakness
53
contraindications for thiazide & thiazide like diuretics

54
nursing implications of thiazide & thiazide like diuretics
checks labs: Na, K, glucose, renal function/ baseline & daily weights, I & Os, vitals, given in AM
55
patient teaching for thiazide & thiazide like diuretics
low Na diet, high K diet, daily weights, change positions slowly, take in the morning
56
prevent and management of potassium imbalances: hypokalemia
low dosing of diuretics, using supplemental potassium, use potassium- sparing almond with potassium losing medication, increase food intake of potassium, restrict dietary sodium intake
57
s/sx of hypokalemia
confusion ,weakness, heart palpatations (dysrhythmias), GI upset, SOB
58
what assessment finding in a patient with heart failure receiving furosemide would indicate an improvement in fluid volume status?
absence of crackles on auscultation of Lungs; crackles usually indicate fluid in the alveoli, hearing no crackles would indicate there is no excess fluid remaining in the lungs
59
pharmacokinetics of potassium sparing diuretics
slow onset and peak 24-48 hrs/ 6 weeks for maximum effect
60
mechanism of action for potassium sparing diuretics
blocks effects of aldosterone, weak diuretic effect, use in combination with other diuretics

67
prevention and management of potassium imbalances: hyperkalemia
potassium sparing along with potassium wasting medications, avoid potassium supplements, avoid salt substitutes, maintain urine output
68
s/sx of hyperkalmeia
muscle cramps, EKG changes, low BP, diarrhea, death, weakness, dysrhythmias

70
mechanism of action of osmotic diuretics

75
antidote for mannitol (osmotic diuretic)
hyaluronidase
76
pharmacokinetics of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
IV/ eye gtt (eye drop)
77

83
a nurse is instructing a pt on dietary considerations while taking spironolactone. which of the following statements made by the patient indicates further teaching is necessary ?
I should use salt substitutes instead of regular salt; most sale substitutes use potassium chloride as it tastes like salt. foods high in potassium should be avoided with spironolactone which is a potassium sparing diuretic
