ATI NUR 211 Health Difference Across Lifespan Module 1-4
ACE inhibitors "PRIL" Captopril, Enalapril, Afosiopril
Antihypertensive. Blocks ACE in lungs from converting angiotensi
II (powerful vasoconstrictor). Decreases BP, Decreased Aldostero
Sodium and fluid loss.
Check BP before giving (hypotension)
*Orthostatic Hypotension
ACS manifestations male sex, ethnic background, sedentary lifestyle, HTN, tobacco u
hyperlipidemia, BMI greater than 30, stress, older adult, HTN, DM
ACS risk factors 1. Advancing age 2. Smoking 3. Hypertension 4. High cholesterol
Family History
Acute Coronary Syndrome sudden symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the heart indica
angina or acute myocardial infarction
, ATI NUR 211 Health Difference Across Lifespan Module 1-4
Afterload Altered hemodynamics (Elevated) cool extremities
Weak peripheral pulses
(Decreased) Warm extremities Bounding peripheral pulses
Altered hemodynamics Manifestations Preload ( Elevated) Crackles in lungs, Jugular vein distention, hepatomega
edema, taut skin turgor
(Decreased) Poor skin turgor dry mucous membranes
American College of cardiology staging A: high risk for developing heart failure
B: Cardiac Structural abnormalities
C: Current or prior manifestation of heart failure
D: Refractory end-stage heart failure

systole
ASD atrial septal defect
Asthma A chronic allergic disorder characterized by episodes of severe b
difficulty, coughing, and wheezing.
