HNG 540 Exam #4 Solved 100% Correct
Action of apixaban (Eliquis) - ANSWER-inhibits free and clot-bound factor Xa and
prothrombinase activity, which inhibits clot grwoth by inhibiting factor Xa therefore
decreasing thrombus development
Action of Bisacodyl (Dulcolax) - ANSWER-increases the amount of fluid/salts in the
intestines; dual effect stimulates bowel muscles and hydrates the intestine, utilizing
water in the body to softens tool
action of bulk forming laxatives - ANSWER-not digested but absorb liquids in the
intestines and swell to form a soft, bulky stool,the presence of the bulky substance
stimulates the bowel
action of H2RAs - ANSWER-block the histamine receptors in parietal cells to decrease
the amount of acid produced
action of heparin - ANSWER-binds with antithrombin III, low molecular-weight heparin
action of loperamide - ANSWER-binds to the opiate receptor in the gut wall; inhibits the
release of acetylcholine and prostaglandins thereby reducing propulsive peristalsis and
increasing intestinal transit time; increases the tone of the anal sphincter thereby
reducing incontinence and urgency
Action of Lovenox - ANSWER-increases thrombin time and activated partial
thromboplastin time, preventing and reducing thromboembolic comlication such as DVT,
pulmonary embolism and ischemic cardiac complications
action of magnesium hydroxide - ANSWER-increases the osmotic effect in the intestinal
tract and draws water in
action of mineral oil - ANSWER-slows colonic absorption of fecal water and softens the
stool; rectally works locally to lubricate and soften the stool
action of rivaroxaban (Xarelto) - ANSWER-binds directly to factor Xa, effectively
blocking the amplification of the coagulation cascade, preventing the formation of
thrombus
Action of Sucralfate - ANSWER-buffers acid, inhibits pepsin action and absorbs bile
salts
action of warfarin - ANSWER-inhibits Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 which is
essential for activating the vitamin K available in the body; INHIBITS THE SYNTHESIS
OF VITAMIN K DEPENDENT CLOTTING FACTORS X, IX, VII AND II
(PROTHROMBIN)
, Adverse effects of antiacids - ANSWER-abdominal pain of unknown cause (especially
