NURS 306 Quiz 2 Exam ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Class: Amlodipine - CORRECT ANSWER Calcium Channel Blocker
Class: Propranolol - CORRECT ANSWER Non-Selective Beta Blocker
Class: Losartan - CORRECT ANSWER ARB (Angiotensin Receptor Blocker)
Class: Lisinopril - CORRECT ANSWER ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) Inhibitor
Class: Hydrochlorothiazide - CORRECT ANSWER Thiazide Diuretic
Class: Enoxaparin - CORRECT ANSWER Low Molecular Weight Anticoagulant
Class: Isosorbide Dinitrate - CORRECT ANSWER Combination drug containing a direct-
acting vasodilator (hydralazine) and a nitrate (isosorbide dinitrate)
Class: Clopidogrel - CORRECT ANSWER Antiplatelet (Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)
Inhibitor) ADP amplifies platelet activation, initiating the cascade that lead to blood clotting.
Class: Doxazosin - CORRECT ANSWER Alpha-1 Adrenergic Blocker
SE of Verapamil - CORRECT ANSWER Bradycardia, hypotension, constipation, peripheral
edema
SE of Digoxin - CORRECT ANSWER Bradycardia, hypokalemia, cardiac arrhythmias, and
cardiac arrest.
SE of Nitroglycerin - CORRECT ANSWER Headache, flushing, hypotension
, SE of Furosemide - CORRECT ANSWER Hypovolemia, electrolyte imbalances (hypokalemia,
hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia), dehydration, orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, fatigue
SE of Heparin - CORRECT ANSWER Severe bleeding, hyperkalemia, heparin-induced
thrombocytopenia
SE of Valsartan - CORRECT ANSWER Dizziness, headache, hyperkalemia, fatigue, diarrhea
SE of Hydralazine/Isosorbide Dinitrate - CORRECT ANSWER Headaches, dizziness, nausea,
hypotension
SE of Metoprolol - CORRECT ANSWER Bradycardia, hypotension, dizziness, fatigue, cold
hands/feet
SE of Propranolol - CORRECT ANSWER Bradycardia, hypotension, dizziness, fatigue, cold
hands/feet, bronchospasm
SE of Ivabradine - CORRECT ANSWER Bradycardia, hypertension, blurred vision, AFIB
SE of Hydrochlorothiazide - CORRECT ANSWER Hypokalemia, hyponatremia, metabolic
alkalosis, hypercalcemia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia
SE of Enalapril - CORRECT ANSWER Cough, hypotension, angioedema
SE of Valsartan/ Sacubitril - CORRECT ANSWER Hypotension, dizziness, cough,
hyperkalemia, renal impairment
MOA of Calcium Channel Blockers - CORRECT ANSWER Inhibit the influx of calcium ions
into cells, primarily in the heart and blood vessels, results in relaxation in the blood vessels
(vasodilation). This reduces the resistance to blood flow which in turn reduces blood pressure. They
also relieve oxygen deprivation to the heart and help with angina.
