1. What do loop diuretics do? Act on Loop of Henle inhibiting sodium transport and reab-
sorption
2. What is the expected outcome Sodium and water are lost which decreases fluid volume ,
of a loop diuretic? cardiac output and blood pressure
3. What are the adverse effects hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia, hyponatremia, hypocal-
of Spironolactone? cemia, hypovolemia, hypoglycemia, hyperuricemia, orthosta-
tic hypotension, bradycardia
4. What labs do you monitor for Potassium, BUN, AST, Alkaline Phosphatase, Sodium, Chloride
patients on Spironolactone?
5. Normal potassium level 3.5‐5mEq/L
6. Normal BUN levels 10-20 mg/dL
7. Normal AST 0‐35 IU/L
8. normal alkaline phosphatase 30-120 units/L
9. Normal sodium levels 135-145 mEq/L
10. normal chloride levels 98-106 mEq/L
11. What do thiazide diuretics hypertension
treat?
12. What labs do you monitor in potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, glucose, uric acid
patient on thiazide diuretics?
13. What type of medication is osmotic diuretic
mannitol?
14. What does mannitol treat? cerebral edema, IOP
, Galen NUR 210 Exam 3
15. What location in the hospi- ICU
tal typically administers man-
nitol?
16. As a result of side of effects of Visual impairment, diaphoresis, flushing, rash, dizziness,
amlodipine what assessment drowsiness and abdominal pain
findings would be present?
17. As a result of adverse effects of orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia, hyperglycemia, tachy-
amlodipine what assessment cardia, pulmonary edema and dyspnea
findings would be present?
18. What patient teaching is need- Watch for the following and contact your healthcare provider:
ed for amlodipine? heart rate less than 50 BPM, dysrhythmias, dyspnea and
swelling
19. What vital sign does a patient pulse and blood pressure
need to be taught when on
amlodipine?
20. What type of medication is Beta Blocker
metoprolol?
21. What are the contraindica- heart block, heart failure, bradycardia, hypotension, cardio-
tions for metoprolol? genic shock
22. What are the nursing interven- baseline vitals, liver and renal function, AST, LDH, patient
tions for metoprolol? teaching
23. What is the patient teaching do not abruptly stop therapy d/t rebound hypertension, avoid
for metoprolol? OTC meds until you consult with a provider, medic alert band,
how to take a pulse and blood pressure, rise slowly to avoid
