MEDICATION __________________________________________________________________________ REVIEW MODULE CHAPTER ___________
antiplatelets
CATEGORY CLASS ______________________________________________________________________
PURPOSE OF MEDICATION
Expected Pharmacological Action Therapeutic Use
-prevent platelets from clumping together by inhibiting - prevetion of MI
enzymes and factor s that normally lead to artieral clotting. -prevention of reinfarction in clients follwing an acute MI
- antiplatelet medications inhibit platelets aggregationsat the - prevention of ischemic strokeor transient ischemic attack
onset og the clotting process -acute coonary syndromes
- alter bleeding time -itermittent clausication
Complications Medication Administration
bleeding PO
GI effects
Contraindications/Precautions
-pregnancy
-thrombocytopenia
-history of bleeding due to peptic ulcer disease Nursing Interventions
-intracranial bleeding
-severe kidney or hepatic disorders -monitor bleeding times
-lactation -monitor for gastric bleeding
-monitor for brusing
-apply pressure to cardia catherter site
-sometimes prescribed concurntly with
aspirin , which increases risk of
Interactions bleeding
-NSAIDs -discontinoued 5 to 7 days prior to
elective surgery
-heparin
-warfarin
-thrombolytics
proton pump inhibitors
Client Education
- monitor for effects and notify
the providor
Evaluation of Medication Effectiveness -notify providor of aspirin use
absence of arterial thrombosis
adequate tissue perfusion
blood flow without occurrence of abnormal bleeding
