Drugs Affecting the Reproductive System Flashcards

1
Q

Enlarged prostate which leads to urinary stasis, obstruction, and infection - obstructs urinary flow
Clinical manifestations: difficult initiation of urine stream, incomplete bladder emptying, overflow incontinence, at risk for frequent UTI’s
Common condition of aging - see lot pats taking meds to treat BPH
Pharmacologic therapy goal: either shrink prostate or relax smooth muscle of urinary tract to increase ability to urinate; increase quality of life
Common prob

Q

Teach: symptom improvement in 3-6 months - not overnight; takes time to shrink prostate; time to interfere processes that enlarges prostate and reverse them so takes awhile for symp improvement
Women wear gloves when handling medication (really harmful to women)
DO NOT HANDLE medication while pregnant (category X - never take it) - to developing fetus; no reason to take it and know causes harm
Men: DO NOT donate blood while on medication or father a child - get anybody pregnant because how med works and how excreted in fluids

Q

Blocks alpha-1 adrenergic receptor in smooth muscle of prostate, relaxes bladder neck and urethra allows urine flow; target alpha-1 receptors of SNS and blocking those receptors to cause relaxation of smooth muscle surrounding prostate gland in urinary sys; trying to relax everything/smooth muscle around prostate in UT so can urinate easier reducing symp of BPH

cause prolonged smooth muscle relaxation- allowing flow of blood into corpus cavernosum and facilitating erection; not that admin lot med because pats take before sex; not do in hospital lot times; in play make sure adequately understands what med for and affects can have so self-monitor effects when at home taking med

No organic nitrates (ex. nitro tablets) within previous 24 hours - causes vasodilation so high risk for hypotension; or alpha-adrenergic blockers

Adverse Effects: - Drugs for Penile Erectile Dysfunction: Prototype: Sildenafil (Viagra)

19
Q

Teach: caution with nitrates to avoid hypotension; know how monitor for hypotension and report s/s of hypotension; is affected by grapefruit juice: alters hepatic enzyme sys - sys less effective so more med can stay in bloodstream - make sure not drink grapefruit juice 24-48 hrs before/after so best to avoid

A

Nursing: - Drugs for Penile Erectile Dysfunction: Prototype: Sildenafil (Viagra)

20
Q

Most meds contain estrogen
used for variety things/Indications:
sev diff Routes:

A

used for variety things/Indications:

22
Q

Oral
Transdermal
Topical

A

sev diff Routes:

23
Q

Many symptoms of menopause attributed to decreased estrogen levels experienced - trying to minimize effects pat experiencing; sometimes can be sig and interfere with daily living and quality of life depending on what it is
Smallest effective dose - hard know amount and what do
May be combined with progestins (intact uterus)
Individualized plan based on benefit vs. risk - discuss with doc; amount and how long

A

Hormone replacement therapy: using the Estrogens

24
Q

Osteoporosis
Hot flashes
Atrophic vaginitis

A

Many symptoms of menopause attributed to decreased estrogen levels experienced - trying to minimize effects pat experiencing; sometimes can be sig and interfere with daily living and quality of life depending on what it is

25
Q

Many are combination of estrogen and progesterone - variety of routes; most contain estrogen; some progesterone only
Some are progestin only
Since Most drugs contain estrogen treat similarly
Prevent pregnancy
Do not prevent against sexually transmitted infections including HIV

A

Contraceptive drugs

26
Q

Oral: norethindrone/ethyl estradiol (Loestrin)
Transdermal: norelgestromin/ethyl estradiol
Intravaginal: etonogestrel-ethyl estradiol (NuvaRing)

A

Many are combination of estrogen and progesterone - variety of routes; most contain estrogen; some progesterone only

27
Q

BBW: loss of bone mineral density

A

Some are progestin only

28
Q

Pregnancy/lactation (Category X) - trying prevent pregnancy with lot meds so making uterus inhabitable for child and if pregnant causes lot probs
Hx of cardiovascular disease related to clotting (DVT, MI, CVA) - blood clots reoccuring thing; excess estrogen effect on body that makes higher propensity to form blood clots
Smoking – increased risk of thrombus formation; risk substantially increased; imp part pat teaching
Antibiotics – make contraceptives less effective, make sure to use other method to prevent pregnancy; d-d interaction
Black box warning: - risks very high/detrimental to that happen

A

Female hormones: Contraindications and Warnings

29
Q

Increased risk of cardiovascular events (DVT, PE, MI, ischemic CVA) - can be life threatening
Increased risk of endometrial and breast cancer

A

Black box warning: - risks very high/detrimental to that happen

30
Q

Sev diff effects that can happen
Breakthrough bleeding/menstrual irregularities - effect menstrual cycles; not post-menopausal
Changes in libido
Fluid retention (edema, headaches, dizziness)
GI effects (nausea/vomiting, abdominal cramps, bloating)
Thromboembolism (DVT/PE/CVA) - risk blood clots

A

Female hormones: adverse effects

31
Q

B = Breakthrough bleeding
E = Edema
G = GI effects
E = Embolism
L = Lost libido
(S) = Stop smoking - counsel to do this because increases risk of blood clot
C = contraceptives less effective with antibiotics
C = cardiovascular events, increased risk

A

Acronym for Female Hormones: BEGEL(S) with Cream Cheese for AE

32
Q

Assess:
Interventions:

A

Nursing action for female hormones

33
Q

Gen assessment
Pay special attention to anything relating woman’s health
Age, lifestyle, menstrual cycle like; (pre/post menopausal), child-bearing status, wellness exams (staying up), cancer screenings; change in hormones
Risk for cardiovascular events, especially thromboembolism (increased risk or not)

A

Assess:

34
Q

Counsel tobacco smokers on smoking cessation - risk higher with those who smoke in having CV events
Educate route, timing, adverse effects - if not want get pregnant need take effectively
May take with food if GI distress occurs

A

Interventions:

35
Q

Oral contraception: pill must be taken at the same time each day; missed dose follow package directions and use alternate form of contraception for 7 days to not get pregnant
Contraceptives less effective when taking antibiotics; use alternate

A

Educate route, timing, adverse effects - if not want get pregnant need take effectively

36
Q

Bone mineral density decreases - puts pat at higher risk for fractures

A

Review Osteoporosis

37
Q

Increases bone mineral density without stimulating the endometrium; modulates effects of endogenous estrogen at specific receptor sites to help increase bone mineral density

A

MoA: - Estrogen Receptor Modulators: Prototype: Ralozifene (Evista)

38
Q

Prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women

A

Indications: - Estrogen Receptor Modulators: Prototype: Ralozifene (Evista)

39
Q

Pregnancy/lactation, hx. DVT or smoking

A

Contraindications: - Estrogen Receptor Modulators: Prototype: Ralozifene (Evista)

40
Q

Venous thromboembolism, vaginal bleeding - Not have all same effects as estrogen in entire body but mimics effects - most imp is causes risk for blood clots

A

AE: - Estrogen Receptor Modulators: Prototype: Ralozifene (Evista)

41
Q

Commonly seen
Slows bone resorption

A

MoA: - Bisphosphonates: Prototype: alendronate (Fosamax)

42
Q

Osteoporosis

A

Indications: - Bisphosphonates: Prototype: alendronate (Fosamax)

43
Q

Oral daily or weekly

A

Route/dose: - Bisphosphonates: Prototype: alendronate (Fosamax)

44
Q

Esophageal or gastric ulcer, esophagitis

A

Contraindications: - Bisphosphonates: Prototype: alendronate (Fosamax)

45
Q

Nausea, diarrhea, esophageal erosion (biggest AE to esophagus - very hard on lining of GI tract - biggest prob is causes this but can do lot things to minimize effect on pat), headache

A

Adverse effects: - Bisphosphonates: Prototype: alendronate (Fosamax)

46
Q

Teach-take in AM with full glass water 30 min prior to food or drink, sit upright for at least 30 minutes after admin - minimize risk reflux back into esophagus - no food because minimizes absorption; limit use to 5 years (really long half-life) then take off med for at least another 5 years/longer because med keeps working to prevent or keep working on osteoporosis; imp to know how take med correctly to min esophageal erosion that can occur

A

Nursing: - Bisphosphonates: Prototype: alendronate (Fosamax)
