Nursing Notes: Hypertension
Nursing notes with in depth review of hypertension pathophysiology, risk factors, manifestations, and classifications. Then, dive deep into all the pharmacology that can be used: beta blockers, diuretics, antiadrenergics, vasodilators, ace inhibitors, ARBS, direct renin inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers. Each category has specific medication examples listed, along with definitions, effects, contraindications, and side effects. Please note, to understand hypertensive medications, it is key to understand RAAS! You can find a detailed explanation published on my page. Know it for your exam, and for your nursing career!
