Answers with Complete Solution 2026/2027 Summer |
Herzing University
What is an ACE Inhibitor? - ANSWERS Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme
:Causes vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure
ACE Inhibitors relax heart and decrease blood pressure
What is an examples of a drug ACE Inhibitor? - ANSWERS Captopril (Capten)
Benazepril
Perindopril
Trandolapril
Moexipril
what does ACE inhibitors treat? - ANSWERS HTN, HF, Diabetic Neuropathy, and
MI
What is the function of ACE Inhibitors? - ANSWERS Reduce levels of
angiotensin II- Bradykinin (dilate blood vessels), reduce blood volume (kidney
excretion), Hyperkalemia (elevates potassium in blood)
**LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE**
What are the side effects of ACE inhibitors? - ANSWERS Angioedema, cough
(causes from bradykinin), hyperkalemia, hypotension, renal failure
, Where is the ACE inhibitors excreted from? - ANSWERS Kidneys
What interacts with ACE inhibitors? - ANSWERS Diuretics, Antihypertensives,
potassium supplements, lithium, and NSAIDS
What are the adverse effects of ACE inhibitors? - ANSWERS Hypotension (<90
SBP); dry cough; hyperkalemia (potassium 3.5-5) angioedema (deep tissue
swelling (face, mouth, eyes, throat- high risk in african americans); Dizziness in
changing positions (orthostatic hypotension)
what do you monitor while patient is on ACE inhibitors? - ANSWERS BP,
Potassium levels (3.5-5), BUN (5-20), creatinine (0.6-1.2), I&O, angioedema (deep
tissue swelling (face, mouth, eyes, throat- mostly seen in african americans)
Education on ACE inhibitors and ARB's - ANSWERS BP & pulse regularly
Avoid salt substitutes w/ potassium rich foods (potatoes, bananas, pork, oranges,
tomatoes, avocados, spinach)
Talk to MD if dry cough is not tolerated instead of stopping medication.
Spironolactone with ACE or ARB's can increase potassium in blood.
DO OT double dose when dose is forgotten. Take dose as scheduled next day. Risk
of severe hypotension if doubled.
What are ARB's? - ANSWERS Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers
