2. allergic reaction an autoimmune response; for a reaction to occur, there must be prior sensitization
of the immune system. once the immune system has been sensitized to drug,
re-exposure to that drug can trigger an allergic response
can range from mild itching to severe rash to naphylaxis
3. tylonel- lab check monitor liver, dont exceed 4000 mg per day, overdose with acetaminophen can
cause sever liver injury and death
4. regular insulin 1-5 hours
peak
5. isoniazid- tyra- avoid eating aged cheese, cured meats, and beer and wine while taking isoniazid
mine
6. antacids- renal aluminum containing antacids may produce constipation, which may lead to an
failure intestinal obstruction
7. furosemide given oral, IV, and IM; take with food if GI upset occurs, this drug will make you pee
more, take in the morning, excessive loss of sodium, chloride, and water. severe
dehydration can result. loop diuretic.
8. tetracycline- - should not be given to patients with renal failure, children and pregnant women
teach should not take due to teeth staining, take with a full glass of water on an empty
stomach one hour before or two hours after meals. Should not consume milk,
calcium, iron, magnesium, or antacid products. Take full antibiotic course
9. thyroid overdose may cause thyrotoxicosis, symptoms include tachycardia, tremor, angina, nervous-
signs ness, insomnia, hyperthermia, heat intolerance, sweating

other cationic compounds by 6 hours, tendinitis and tendon rupture in patients
over 60, and instruct patient of risk for phototoxicity
11. steroids- DC pro- must be withdrawn gradually. Warn the patient against abrupt discontinuation
tocol of treatment. After termination, supplemental doses are needed during times of
stress until adrenal function has recovered fully

15. antitussive- eval- monitor patient response to the drug, monitor for adverse effects, evaluate the
uate effectiveness of the teaching plan
16. ACE inhibitor- hy- most prominant adverse effects, inhibition of aldosterone release can cause
perkalemia potassium retnetion by the kidney, significnt potassium accumulation is limited
to patients taking potassium supplements, salt substitutes, or potassium sparing
diuretics
17. sucralfate- NGT prepare water- sorbitol suspension of sucralfate or place tablet in 60 ml syringe,
administration add 20 ml of water and let stand with tip up for about 5 minutes occasionally
shaking gently

caution in patients with existing QT prolongation or family history of long QT
syndrome and in those taking other QT prolonging drugs. All patients should
receive an ECG before treatment, 30 days later, and annually thereafter.
