Pharmacology. Questions with |\ |\ |\
answers
When should thiazides NOT be used?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
if creatinine clearance is less than 30-50 ml/min
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
True or False
|\ |\
Thiazide diuretics is a first-line hypertensive agent and will also
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
help to decrease fluid retention.
|\ |\ |\ |\
True
Calcium Channel Blockers MOA |\ |\ |\
Cause coronary artery vasodilation
|\ |\ |\
Cause peripheral arterial vasodilation, thus decreasing systemic
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
vascular resistance |\
Reduce the workload of the heart
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Result: decreased myocardial oxygen demand
|\ |\ |\ |\
(Hypertension, dysrhythmias, angina, and Raynaud's) |\ |\ |\ |\
Examples of CCBs |\ |\
Verapamil, diltiazem, amlodipine, nifedipine |\ |\ |\
Indications for Verapamil |\ |\
essential HTN, angina (chronic stable, unstable), ventricular rate
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
control in arrhythmia, dysrhythmias.
|\ |\ |\ |\
gentamicin side/adverse effects |\ |\
ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, hypersensitivity |\ |\
What classifies a diagnosis of hypertension
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, 2 elevated blood pressures at separate office visits
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
One elevated BP reading does not constitute hypertension
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(White coat syndrome) |\ |\
What hypertensive medications work extremely well in the black
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and elderly white population?
|\ |\ |\
Thiazide medication. (diuretics) |\ |\
This is because these medications have been shown to decrease
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
morbidity and mortality in this population. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
For the black and elderly population, What happens to the body
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
when they are on a antihypertensive for 6 months to a year?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The body will be seeking homeostasis.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Angiotensin II |\
increases blood pressure by stimulating kidneys to reabsorb more
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
water and by releasing aldosterone
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Vasoconstrictor
What structural changes does angiotensin II do to the heart?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Hypertrophy
Remodeling.
True or False |\ |\
Angiotensin II is NOT responsible for increasing the thickness of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
blood vessel walls. |\ |\
False
