*Rapid acting insulin*
Therapeutic use: manage blood sugar levels in adults and children with type 1 or
type 2 diabetes.
MOA: bind to the insulin receptors on muscle and fat cells and lower blood glucose
Aspart (Novolog) by facilitating the cellular uptake of glucose and simultaneously inhibiting the output
of glucose from the liver.
Side effects: Injection site reactions, Skin thickening or pits at the injection site,
Hypokalemia (Low potassium), weight gain, heartburn, hoarseness, indigestion, joint
pain, runny or stuffy nose, shivering, stomach discomfort, voice changes, or difficulty
sleeping
Onset: 10-20 minutes
Aspart (Novolog) Onset, Peak, Duration Peak: 1-3 hours
Duration: 3-5 hours
Patient education on Rapid or Fast acting Food or juice must be given 10-15 minutes after receiving injection. Rapid acting
Insulin insulin will lower the patient's sugar immediately.

All answers are correct
, Therapeutic use: provides excellent relief of mild to moderate pain, reduces fever,
protects against thrombotic disorders, and remains a drug of choice for rheumatoid
arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Cancer Prevention/Colorectal Cancer
Aspirin (First-Generation MOA: a nonselective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase. Most beneficial effects—
NSAIDS)/salicylates reductions of inflammation, pain, and fever—result from inhibiting COX-2.
Side effects: Bleeding, Occult GI bleeding (gastric ulceration, perforation),
Gastrointestinal Effects (gastric distress, heartburn, and nausea), Renal Impairment,
Salicylism-tinnitus (ringing in the ears), sweating, headache, and dizziness.
True or False: The use of aspirin in children TRUE
younger than 18 years is associated with
Reye's syndrome.
- FDA Pregnancy Risk Category D; there is evidence of human fetal risk, but the
potential benefits from use of the drug during pregnancy may outweigh the
potential for harm.
- The principal risks to pregnant women are (1) anemia (from GI blood loss) and (2)
Patient education on Aspirin
postpartum hemorrhage.
- Contraindicated in patients with peptic ulcer disease, bleeding disorders (e.g.,
hemophilia, vitamin K deficiency, hypoprothrombinemia), and hypersensitivity to
aspirin itself or other NSAIDs.
- Anticoagulants: Warfarin, Heparin, and Others
- Glucocorticoids
- Alcohol
Aspirin should not be given with:
- Ibuprofen, naproxen, and other non-aspirin NSAIDs
- ACE Inhibitors and ARBs
- Vaccines
True or False: To minimize GI effects, TRUE
advise patients to take NSAIDs with food,
milk, or water.

growth of bacteria by preventing the
synthesis of bacterial cell walls.
Therapeutic use: Treats bacterial infections, such as chest infections (including
pneumonia) and dental abscesses. Used to treat ear infections in children
Amoxicillin (Antibiotic)
Side effects: Diarrhea, Abdominal pain, Itching, Rash, Nausea, dark urine, headache,
dizziness, vaginal yest infections.
Therapeutic use: Disorders of the Eyes, Bradycardia, Intestinal Hypertonicity and
Hypermotility, Muscarinic Agonist Poisoning, Peptic Ulcer Disease, Asthma, Biliary
Colic,
Atropine (Atropine)
Muscarinic Antagonists (Anticholinergic MOA: Muscarinic antagonists competitively block the actions of acetylcholine at
Drugs) muscarinic receptors.
Adverse effects: Xerostomia (Dry Mouth), Blurred Vision and Photophobia, Elevation
of Intraocular Pressure, Urinary Retention, Constipation, Anhidrosis, Tachycardia,
