33
Q

digoxin precautions (Little Kalema, can you dig?)

A

hypokalemia

34
Q

digoxin adverse effects - early and late (I can’t dig anorexia or blindness)

A

Anorexia (early)
Vision Changes (late) Narrow Therapeutic Index

35
Q

digoxin drug interactions - diuretics (diuretics digging a hole with K+)

Digoxin Immune FAB (Digibind®, DigiFab®)

37
Q

digoxin nursing implications - what blood levels to check?

most dangerous, you need to call 911 with this one

44
Q

A patient is mowing his lawn on a hot Saturday afternoon. He begins to notice chest pain. What should his first action be?

A

stop mowing and lie down

45
Q

Goals of Drug Therapy for Angina (just increase O2)

A

increase 02**
 Reduce myocardial oxygen demand
 Minimize or remove the occlusion

46
Q

What drugs increase myocardial oxygen supply? (MY oxygen, MY calcium and nitrate)

A

▪ Calcium channel blockers
▪ Nitrates (including nitroglycerin)

47
Q

Nitrates are effective in treating stable angina because of their

A

their dilating effect on veins and arteries

48
Q

sublingual or buccal nitrate is

A

the fastest

49
Q

nitro will stop working if

A

you take it too much. need to wait 12 hours in between, don’t take at night.

 Orthostatic Hypotension
 Dry mouth, blurry vision

51
Q

nitro drug interactions (No nitro on viagra)

A

Antihypertensives ↑ hypotension
PDE5 inhibitors
*****(sildenafil = Viagra) ↑ hypotension

52
Q

nitro teaching

A

Give sublingual preparation under tongue or in buccal pouch. DON’T SWALLOW

have a fresh bottle that hasn’t been opened

54
Q

should feel a tingling sensation on tongue

A

with nitro. if not, it may be expired.

55
Q

Wean pt from NTG - to avoid what? (Nitro is a spaz)

adenosine - how to administer? (Aiden needs IV near the heart)

A

 Must be given IV
 As close to the heart as possible

57
Q

digoxin drug interactions with ACEI (ace inhibitors) (Ace can’t dig)

A

increase K+ (makes dig ineffective)

58
Q

digoxin drug interactions - BB,CCB

A

Combine to lower HR

59
Q

how to adminster digoxin

A
  • Give dig IV Push slowly over 5 minutes
