what med causes intense yellow pee
folic acid
ibuprofen client teaching
sit up for 15-30 minutes
take with a full glass of water
take as ordered
do not mix with alcohol, acetaminophen, aspirin, or other over the counter meds
side effects of hydrocodone and APAP
confusion, sedation, hallucinations, headaches, blurred vision, miosis, respiratory depression, hypotension, bradycardia, constipation
Action of furoseminde
inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride from the loop of henle and distal tubule; increases excretion of water, sodium, potassium, and calcium
nursing implications for ketorolac
clients who have asthma and aspirin- induced allergy are at increased risk for developing hypersensitivity reactions
assess for pain level
assess liver function test
may cause prolonged bleeding
assess platelet count
action of morphine sulfate
binds to opiate receptors in the CNS. Alters the perception of and response to painful stimuli while producing generalized CNS depression
Side effects of naloxone
hypertension, hypotension, tachycardia, nausea, vomiting
hydrochlorothiazide client teaching
monitor blood pressure, weight and edema, change positions slowly, foods high in potassium (potatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, spinach)
what are the vital sign parameters for metoprolol
do not administer if hr < 60 or systolic pressure is <100
nursing implications for loperamide
assess bowel function, fluid and electrolyte balance, turgor
Antidote for morphine sulfate
naloxone
therapeutic classification for hydrochlorothiazide
diuretic, antihypertensive
action of ketorolac
inhibits prostoglandin synthesis
what med neutralizes gastric acid
magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide
what symptoms would indicate you need to administer magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide
GI complaint: indigestion, GERD, Heartburn, peptic and gastric ulcers
action of ibuprofen
inhibits prostaglandin synthesis
nursing implications for hydrocodone & APAP
assess blood pressure, pulse, respirations
if respirations <10 min. assess level of sedation
assess bowel function
assess type, location, and intensity of pain
may lead to dependency
pharmacologic classification for magnesium sulfate
mineral/ electrolyte
action of loperamide
inhibits peristalsis and prolongs transit time by direct effect on nerves in the intestinal muscle wall
hydrocodone & APAP client teaching
take medication as directed
instruct on how and when to ask for pain medications
advise client to call for assistance when ambulating
change positions slowly to minimize orthostatic hypotension
what labs need to be monitored with furosemide
potassium
pharmacologic classification for metoprolol
beta blocker
what type of diuretic is furosemide
loop
hydrochlorothiazide is prescribed for
hypertension and edema associated with CHF

mild to moderate pain
dysmenorrhea (period cramping)
side effects of hydrochlorothiazide
dizziness, hypotension, hypokalemia, dehydration
signs and symptoms of gastric bleeding
abdominal pain, vomiting, coffee ground emesis or tarry stool
signs of magnesium sulfate toxicity
depression or absence of reflexes, oliguria, respiratory depression, hypotension, muscle relaxation, decreased LOC, cardiac arrest
Therapeutic classification for magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide
antiulcer agent
therapeutic classification of hydrocodone & APAP
allergy, cold, cough remedies
what is the action of naloxone
competitively blocks the effects of opioids
Side effects of magnesium sulfate
depressed respirations, hypotension, sedation, confusion, dizziness, constipation, urinary retention, itching, risk for dependency
therapeutic classification for furosemide
diuretic
what is metoprolol prescribed for
hypertension, angina, heart failure
pharmacologic classification for hydrochlorothiazide
thiazide diuretic
why is hydrocodone and APAP prescribed
to decrease severity of pain without significantly altering the level of consciousness
what is loperamide given for
acute and chronic diarrhea
ibuprofen side effects

dehydration, hypokalemia, hyponatremia (sodium), hypovolemia (losing lots of fluids)
can ibuprofen be given to children <6 months old
no
therapeutic classification of ketorolac
nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory, nonopioid analgesic
nursing implications for furosemide
assess fluid status during therapy (blood pressure, daily weight, I/O amount and location of edema, lung sounds, turgor, mucous membranes)
assess elderly for fall risk
assess client for tinnitus and hearing loss
monitor electrolytes, renal, and hepatic function
what is the action of hydrocodone & APAP
binds to opiate receptors in the CNS. alters the perception and response to pain while producing generalized CNS depression, also suppresses cough reflex
