NURS 617 PHARM EXAM 1 FINAL PAPER
UPDATED QUESTIONS VERIFIED COMPLETE
ANSWERS 100 PERCENT CORRECT
◉ ACE inhibitors because they tend to increase serum potassium
Answer: Which antihypertensive can be used with thiazide diuretics
to offset the hypokalemia
◉ ACE inhibitors (-pril)
ARBs (sartan)
Answer: Which antihypertensive classes are glucose neutral and can
be used relatively safely in diabetics
◉ Very effective in management of CHF
Delaying diabetic nephropathy
May reduce complications in patients with chronic stable angina
Answer: Other uses for ACE inhibitors (-pril)
◉ -May lower BP too much especially when being used with
diuretics
-May produce severe hyperkalemia especially in those with renal
insufficiency
, -Angioedema
-May cause an increase in renal insufficiency
-Persistent nocturnal cough
-Teratogenic in pregnancy
Answer: Disadvantages of ACE inhibitors (-pril)
◉ Angioedema
Answer: What would voice changes and swelling of the tongue
indicate in a patient taking ACE inhibitors? This may occur with the
first dose or within the first month of use
◉ Calcium Channel Blockers
Answer: Bind to various sites on the calcium transport channels
inhibiting the entry of calcium ions into muscle cells therefore
decreasing the force of contraction of these muscle cells. This leads
to decrease in myocardial contraction, a decrease in cardiac output,
a decrease in peripheral vascular tone and peripheral resistance,
and decrease in BP.
◉ Amlodipine
Diltiazem
Felodipine
Isradipine
Nicardipine
