HSC 343 Exam 3- Drugs Questions With
Correct Answers
Digoxin (Lanoxin) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Increases cardiac contractility
| | | | | |
by inhibiting Na-K ATPase & slows HR; low therapeutic index and can
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
cause anorexia, NVD, confusion, blurred vision, & arrhythmia (made
| | | | | | | | |
worse if patient is hypokalemic).
| | | |
Digibind - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Treats dig toxicity by pulling digoxin
| | | | | | | | |
out of circulation.
| |
Lisinopril - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Well tolerated ACE inhibitor that may
| | | | | | | | |
cause a cough in mild reactions & angioedema & hyperkalemia in severe
| | | | | | | | | | |
reactions; does not affect the heart but does lower BP, decrease cardiac
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
remodeling, & aids in fluid management. | | | | |
Valsartan, Losartan - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-ARB used to correct HF by
| | | | | | | | | |
lowering BP (discourages retention of NA & water); may cause first-dose
| | | | | | | | | |
|syncope, dizziness, & GI SE. | | | |
Ivabradine (Corlanor) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Treats HF by decreasing
| | | | | | | |
conductance through the SA node & reduces the number of
| | | | | | | | | |
, hospitalizations a patient experiences; indicated for patients with a| | | | | | | | |
resting HR of 70 bpm while taking beta blockers at their highest does.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Sacubitril/Valsartan - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Treats HF by increasing the | | | | | | |
secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) to help lower Na levels
| | | | | | | | | | | |
through diuresis; lowers BP & reduces the number of hospitalizations a
| | | | | | | | | | |
patient experiences.
|
Clonidine (Catapres) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Centrally-acting
| | | | |
sympathetic agonist that causes vasodilation, decreased HR, &
| | | | | | | |
decreased BP (especially good for treating ISH); may cause sedation, dry
| | | | | | | | | |
mouth/bad taste, constipation, edema, & should not be discontinued
| | | | | | | | | |
abruptly due to rebound HTN.
| | | |
Reserpine - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Peripherally-acting sympathetic
| | | | |
antagonist that decreases TPR & CO by depleting stores of
| | | | | | | | | |
catecholamines in neurons; may cause sedation, depression, increased | | | | | | | |
GI motility, & nasal stuffiness & is typically only prescribed for
| | | | | | | | | | |
individuals with refractory HTN. | | |
Propranolol (Inderal) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Beta blocker (B1 & B2)
| | | | | | | | |
given PO to decrease TPR (workload of the heart) & atrial arrhythmia &
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
can also be used to treat stable/unstable angina; may cause tiredness &
| | | | | | | | | | | |
exercise intolerance, and must be tapered.
| | | | |
