  • Renal Insufficiency
  • Angina, MI, SOB
49
Q

HTN Crisis Treatment:

  • Labetalol: mixed alpha and beta adrenergic blocker given IV
50
Q

Beta Blockers:

A

slows hr, uses less force, monitor HR and decreased CO

51
Q

ACE Inhibitors:

A

Stops veins from vasoconstricting (watch for OH)

52
Q

Diuretics:

A

make you pee, some are potassium sparing
