NSG 320 Exam 1 Questions With Complete Solutions
ACE Inhibitors Correct Answers -pril
ACE Inhibitors Correct Answers Block the conversion of
angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2, a vasoconstrictor. Causes
vasodilation and therefore decreases pulmonary vascular
resistance, resulting in a dec in BP. Aldosterone is also blocked,
causing a dec in sodium and water retention.
AE: Can lead to high levels of bradykinin, which can cause
coughing. Monitor for hyperkalemia, which can be a serious
side effect, as well as tachycardia and orthostatic hypotension.
Use: HTN & HF
Acetaminophen Correct Answers Non-opiod pain relief
