A

works on distal convoluted tubule to inhibit resorption of Na/K+/Cl -> results in decreased cardiac output and increased water loss
also decreases PVR

Q

doxazosin nursing considerations

A

only use after other meds have failed

20
Q

captopril/lisinopril MOA

A

blocks ACE -> inhibits angiotensin 2 & aldosterone secretion (vasodilation & less water retention)

21
Q

captopril/lisinopril side effects

A

dry, non productive cough
angioedema w/ racial disparity
-first dose hypotension
-dizziness
-rash

22
Q

captopril/lisinopril nursing considerations

A

do not give to pregnant women
-renal insufficiency so use caution w/ renal disease
-hyperK+ risk (esp on K+ sups)
-often give w/ thiazide diuretics

23
Q

captopril additional nursing consideration

A

can cause neutropenia -> monitor WBC

24
Q

losartan MOA

A

blocks the action of angiotensin 2 after it is formed

25
Q

losartan side effects

A

usually well tolerated
-angioedema w/o racial disparities

26
Q

losartan nursing considerations

A

-do not give to pregnant women requires contraception use
-use cautiously w/ renal pts

27
Q

aliskiren MOA

A

direct inhibition of renin (induces vasodilation, decrease blood volume & SNS and inhibitors cardiac & vascular hypertrophy)

28
Q

aliskiren side effects

A

well tolerated
-GI discomfort
-hyperK+ when given w/ ACE (esp in DM pts)

29
Q

aliskiren nursing considerations

A

-do not give to pregnant women
-takes several weeks to see full effect due to half life

30
Q

nifedipine/nicardipine MOA

A

blocks calcium access to cells causing a decrease in contractility & conductivity of heart (vasodilation of smooth muscles & peripheral arterials)

31
Q

nifedipine/nicardipine side effects

A

peripheral edema
orthostatic hypotension
-bradycardia
-headache
-abdominal discomfort
-AV block

32
Q

nifedipine/nicardipine nursing considerations

A

best for elderly and African Americans
-can give diuretics for peripheral edema

33
Q

hydralazine MOA

A

vasodilator works directly on arterial and venous smooth muscles causing relaxation (decreases systemic & peripheral resistance)

34
Q

hydralazine side effects

A

-hypotension
-dizziness, headache, tachycardia, edema, dyspnea, GI upset

35
Q

hydralazine nursing considerations

A

can be given with isosorbide to treat heart failure in African Americans

36
Q

what drug class can you not give to pregnant women

A

-ACE
-ARBs
-Renin inhibitors

37
Q

what drug classes do you need to watch for renal pts

A

-ACEs
-ARBs
-Thiazide Diuretics

38
Q

statins MOA

A

inhibits HMG-CoA reductase -> less cholesterol is produced & more LDL receptors are produced to pull cholesterol out of the blood
(also stabilizes plaque & decreases inflammation)

39
Q

statins effect on levels

A

LDL: 21-63% decrease
HDL: 5-22% increase
TAGs: 6-43 decrease

40
Q

statins side effects

A

myopathy -> rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of muscle fibers & acute kidney failure)
-hepatotoxicity

41
Q

statin nursing considerations

A

-2 wks to take effect
-take w/ food
-avoid drugs & alcohol

42
Q

additional nursing considerations for simvastatin & rosuvastatin

A

take at night d/t short half life since chol is highest at night

43
Q

ezetimibe MOA

A

blocks absorption of cholesterol in the jejunum (dietary chol)

44
Q

ezetimibe nursing considerations

A

-not as effective as statins d/t dietary chol
-take w/ statin
-2nd line

45
Q

nursing considerations before giving HLD meds

A

-fasting lipid panel
-ALT levels
-CK levels (rhabdo)
-consider secondary causes

46
Q

what are other meds to treat HLD

A

-bile acid sequestrants
-niacin
-fibric acid derivative
-fish oil

47
Q

what drugs have a risk of hyperkalemia

A

-potassium sparing diuretics
-ACEs
-Renin Inhibitors
