Atenolol classification and function? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Functional classification:
Antihypertensive
Chemical classification: β-Blocker)
Atenolol action? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Action:
Competitively blocks stimulation of β-adrenergic receptor within vascular smooth
muscle; produces negative chronotropic activity (decreases rate of SA node
discharge, increases recovery time), slows conduction of AV node, decreases heart
rate, negative inotropic activity, decreases O2 consumption in myocardium; also
decreases renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system at high doses, inhibits β2-receptors
in bronchial system at higher doses
Atenolol use and therapeutic outcome? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Uses:
,Mild to moderate hypertension; prophylaxis of angina pectoris; suspected or
known MI (IV use), MI prophylaxis
Therapeutic outcome:
Decreased B/P, heart rate, prevention of angina pectoris, MI
Atenolol nursing considerations and pt/family eduation? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Nursing
considerations:
• Monitor hypertension, B/P during beginning treatment, periodically thereafter;
pulse q4hr; note rate, rhythm, quality: apical/radial pulse before administration;
notify prescriber of any significant changes (pulse <50 bpm); ECG
• Assess for edema in feet, legs daily; monitor I&O, daily weight; check for jugular
vein distention, crackles bilaterally, dyspnea (CHF)
Patient/family education:
Teach patient not to discontinue product abruptly; taper over 2 wk (angina) as
directed; may cause precipitate angina if stopped abruptly; take at same time each
day
Metoprolol classification and function? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Functional
classification: Antihypertensive, antianginal
Chemical classification: β1-Adrenergic blocker

,Metoprolol Action and Therapeutic outcome? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Action:
Lowers B/P by β-blocking effects; reduces elevated renin plasma levels; blocks β2-
adrenergic receptors in bronchial, vascular smooth muscle only at high doses,
negative chronotropic effect
Metoprolol Therapeutic outcome and uses? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Therapeutic
outcome:
Decreased B/P, heart rate, AV conduction
Uses:
Mild to moderate hypertension, acute MI to reduce cardiovascular mortality,
angina pectoris, New York Heart Association class II, III heart failure,
cardiomyopathy
Metoprolol Nursing consideration and patient education? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔Nursing considerations:
Abrupt withdrawal: may cause MI, ventricular dysrhythmias, myocardial ischemia;
taper dose over 7-14 days
• Hypertension/angina: monitor ECG directly when giving IV during initial
treatment

, • Monitor B/P during beginning treatment, periodically thereafter; pulse q4hr; note
rate, rhythm, quality; check apical/radial pulse before administration; notify
prescriber of any significant changes (pulse <60 bpm)
• Assess for edema in feet, legs daily; monitor I&O, daily weight; check for jugular
vein distention, crackles bilaterally, dyspnea (CHF)
Patient/family education:
Teach patient not to discontinue product abruptly; taper over 2 wk; may cause
precipitate angina if stopped abruptly
Losartan Class and action? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Func. class.: Antihypertensive
Action:
Blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II;
selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor found in tissues
Losartan Therapeutic Outcome and Uses? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Therapeutic outcome:
Decreased B/P
Uses:
Hypertension, alone or in combination; nephropathy in type 2 diabetes, proteinuria,
stroke prophylaxis in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy
