21
Q

Prokinetic AE

A

sedation, diarrhea, weakness - prolong use causes extrapyramidal symptoms

22
Q

Serotonin blockers MOA

A

block serotonin receptors in GI, CTZ, and vomiting center

23
Q

Serotonin blockers AE

A

headache, dizziness, diarrhea

24
Q

Neurokinin 1 receptor blockers MOA

A

block supstance P from binding to neurokinin 1 receptors - prevents central and peripheral stimulation of vomiting centers

25
Q

Neurokinin 1 receptor blockers AE

A

sedation, GI issues, Stevens-Johnson

26
Q

Cannabinoids MOA

27
Q

meclizine is in what class?

A

antihistamines antiemetic

30
Q

metoclopramide is in what class?

A

prokinetic antiemetic

31
Q

ondansetron (Zofran) is in what class?

A

serotonin blockers antiemetic

32
Q

what are the 4 antidiarrheal agents?

A

absorbents, anticholinergics, intestinal flora modifiers, and opiates

33
Q

Absorbents MOA

A

binds bacteria causing diarrhea to carry them out with feces

34
Q

Absorbents AE

A

aspirin product so avoid with flu children, increase bleeding, GI bleed, tinnitus

35
Q

Anticholinergics antidiarrheal MOA

A

inhibit parasympathetic to reduce peristalsis of GI tract

36
Q

Anticholinergics antidiarrheal AE

A

stop PNS, decrease secretions (atropine AE), etc

37
Q

intestinal flora modifiers MOA

A

restore natural balance of bacteria - great to take with antibiotic

38
Q

Opiates MOA

A

decrease GI motility

39
Q

Opiates AE

A

sedation, dizziness, constipation, nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, hypotension, urinary retention

40
Q

5 laxatives classes

A

bulk-forming, hyperosmotic, saline, emollient, and stimulant

41
Q

stimulant MOA

A

stimulate peristalsis through enteric nervous system

42
Q

stimulant AE

A

long term use can lead to dependence and loss of cell/colon function

43
Q

emollient MOA

A

facilitate water and fab absorption into stool (fecal softeners)

44
Q

emollient AE

A

well–tolerated, skin rash, decrease vitamin absorption, electrolyte imbalance

45
Q

hyperosmotic MOA

A

draws fluid into colon by creating gradient

46
Q

hyperosmotic AE

A

abdominal bloating, rectal irritation, electrolyte imbalance

47
Q

saline MOA

A

osmotic pressure pushes water into intestines

48
Q

saline AE

A

salts may cause issues with individual with diminished cardiac or renal function

49
Q

bulk forming MOA

A

increase water absorption to soften and increase bulk of feces

50
Q

bulk forming AE

A

relatively safe, not for individuals with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting
